  1. So this is winning? Economists expect growth to lose momentum over the rest of the year. Forecasts of higher consumer prices and potential delay of desired rate cuts pose a threat to Trump's promise to lower prices, and could dent consumer spending. White House floated rebate checks for lower-income Americans, acknowledging potential economic pain. Unresolved Issues and Long-Term Outlook. Deals with Canada and Taiwan, and decisions for pharmaceuticals and steel industries are unresolved. The colossal issue of China remains. Many struck deals are verbal and unsigned. Trump's overarching aim to return production and jobs to America may have limited success. Long-time trading partners like Canada and the EU might seek economic and political connections bypassing the US. Long-term ramifications for global trading patterns and alliances are expected.
  2. Yep, I don't care about what you care about, and the reason you've been on ignore for ages.
  3. Like you said its useful for anonymity and buying stuff (usually dodgy) which cannot be bought with traceable fiat? Its also of use for international transfer of funds outside the traditional banking systems. Most people tho just use it as a speculative asset in what is often referred to as the greater fool type of trade, when they hope some fool will pay more for it than you did in time to come.
  4. Could be a multitude of reasons. I used to keep a yellow stick it note on the back on my PC saying "Don't ask unless you've rebooted first".
  5. OK so I could get the bank letter the day before, then on the extension day do a small cash deposit/withdrawal on the 800k savings account and update the book at a passbook update machine. I wonder if when KBank closes at CW they will leave their ATMs and passbook update machines working there?!
  6. Thanks. So getting a bank letter the day before still requires a trip to the bank on the day of extension application to do a small transaction? We cannot do the transaction the day of the bank letter? Is that the rules?
  7. I'd just carry on doing what works for you as we are getting mixed reports I think. In my case the bank letter and copy of bank book with original bank book is all CW asks me for. The only transactions in the book are the 6 monthly interest/WHT and the small amount I add to account on day of bank letter (I usually transfer 10THB in and back out on my KPlus app on the phone just before going to the bank). So every single transaction is shown in the book in just a few lines for the whole year.
  8. Thanks, so 7 days is fine. I will try a branch at the end of my local soi and that should ease the hassle at CW. By special I agree there is nothing special about it đŸ™‚ It was just another account opened e-special-ly by me years ago for my ease of use getting annual extensions and is in fact just a savings account not a FD. I understood I could have got a FD for more interest, didn't know at the time and never bothered switching to FD since.
  9. Apologies if covered before, but I read somewhere here that KBank at CW will close permanently in Sept? I always used this branch office to get my bank letter for the one year extension along with a copy of book, no statement needed for me as I use a special 800k account just for this with no other transactions. So my question is with the CW bank branch closing can I get the letter from any KBank the day before or must it be done only on the day of extension? What are the rules about this?
  10. The re-entry permit is about maintaining long term stay and immigration control, not 'cash cow' as the op suggests. It's Thailand’s way of saying: "If you're going to leave temporarily, tell us first, or your long-stay visa ends here."
