🚀 UPDATE: MEETUP CAPACITY LIMITED (Moving to Luma) RSVPs are limited on Meetup, but we have opened additional spots on our new official platform, Luma. 👉 Secure your priority spot here: [https://luma.com/ieh0r3cl](https://luma.com/ieh0r3cl) ℹ️ Why are we moving to Luma? We are progressively moving the Lux Finance Circle to Luma to offer a cleaner, professional experience: 📢 Welcome to our next Lux Finance Circle meetup! Wars, elections, tariffs, sanctions, debt ceilings, AI bubbles. Every week brings a new headline that feels like the one that should finally break the market. And yet, prices keep climbing. Indices keep printing new highs. The disconnect between what the news shows you and what your portfolio is doing has rarely felt this wide. So which is it? Are markets pricing in risks the headlines are screaming about? Are investors being recklessly complacent? Or is the average investor mistaking emotional news cycles for real economic signals? This session is a structured, open discussion about how to read the room when geopolitics dominates the front page. The goal is not to predict the next crisis. It is to give you a framework so you stop reacting to every headline and start telling the difference between noise, narrative, and real risk to your portfolio. 🧭 Format of the Event This is a casual, discussion-based gathering with no long presentations. We'll sit around the table, and your host Romain will kick things off with a short introduction covering: * Why markets and headlines often move in opposite directions, and what that actually means * The historical track record of "this time is different" geopolitical moments (spoiler: not what most people expect) * How professional investors filter signal from noise when the world feels on fire * The two or three behaviours that destroy long-term returns during periods of high anxiety From there, we open the floor for discussion. Bring your questions, your concerns, and your skepticism. Recommended Preparation Before the event, think about this: in the past 12 months, how many times have you considered selling, pausing contributions, or moving to cash because of something you read in the news? And looking back, how would those decisions have played out? 👥 Who Can Join? Everyone is welcome. This discussion will be especially valuable if you are: * An investor who has felt the urge to sell or sit on cash because of recent geopolitical or political news. * Someone who suspects markets look "too calm" given everything happening in the world and wants to test that intuition. * A professional who wants a clearer mental model for separating headline noise from real portfolio risk. 🤝 Bring a Colleague Know someone who has been losing sleep over the news, or who keeps asking whether they should "just wait until things calm down" before investing? Bring them along. 📌 Practical Info * 🗓️ Date: Tuesday, May 26th, 2026 at 18:30 * 🗣️ Language: The event will be in English. * 📍 Location: Hotel Le Place d'Armes (18 Place d'Armes, Luxembourg). The bar is hidden at the back. Ask at reception for directions if you are unsure. * 🍻 Drinks: Drinks are self-paid at the venue bar. * 👥 Limited Seats: Please RSVP so we can manage space.

Join us for a **Culinary Exchange Workshop** — a fun, hands-on cooking event where everyone brings a taste of their own culture to the table. **How it works:** * 👩‍🍳 Each participant submits one or more recipes — starter, main course, dessert, or even a drink. * 🗳️ We vote together to create our dream menu: one dish per category. * 🧺 We then organize who brings which ingredients, so everything’s ready for the big day. * 🏆 The 3–4 chosen chefs lead the group in preparing their winning dishes, guiding others through the recipe without cooking themselves. * 🍷 Finally, we cook, laugh, and share a delicious meal together in a warm, friendly atmosphere. Whether you’re a passionate cook or just curious to learn, this is the perfect opportunity to **discover new flavors, share your culinary traditions, and make new friends** from around the world.

[Columbus library link to book](https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3351321) Location: The Goat River South 219 S High St, Columbus, OH 43215 Street parking is free on Sundays [Menu](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/686d3ed16745133042482c5f/t/68ff654dbb03b96875430bde/1761568077220/all_brunch-20250311.pdf) Book summary: On a hot day in Bethlehem, a twelve-year-old Palestinian-American girl is yelled at by a group of men outside the Church of the Nativity. She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.
