I see you guys believe the US $ is worthless, but it still holds its own against other major currencies. You switched to Bitcoin but it is far less stable than the USD. Certainly the expectation is that BTC will rise in value so I can understand the speculative investment, but as a replacement...

Like many of you, I'm perplexed by the cryptomania. I recently bought a single Bitcoin because, wtf. Up 20% in less than a month...wtf. I think it's important to separate blockchain which I see lots of value in and crypto, for which I fail to see any, other than speculation like I do. But I...

Now it will...

Looks like what our politicians on the right and the left want to do with our own tech companies...

Certainty over uncertainty?

The right to a speedy trial is uniquely American.

No fire without smoke, the French like to say. Japanese mega corporations are often poorly run with cut throat power intrigues, all result of Japanese culture (Olympus, Toshiba, etc.). Nissan could not have been different and the C levels probably received illegal benefits in hush hush...

That's what I expected back when it announced record returns in Q4 last year. I was betting on 3500+ to all time high.... instead it hit 3400 and retreated all the way down to sub 3k 3 months later. Amzn isn't cheap and any misreading can be costly. I was lucky to inch in a profit, but I...

That's what I mean. In the name of the right to arm oneself against government oppression, we end up with the greatest armed police surveillance in the world.

I tend to agree with you. I see the post covid era as a post prohibition era. People have money burning their pockets, they will buy and spend til there's no more. However, next year will be hang over...

I'm a stock trader and normally would enjoy the uncertainty of 2021 so far, but I'm stuck high on all of my holdings after the mid March steeper than expected dip, so at this point I just want a sturdy upwards trend, thank you very much.

Can't wait to see what happens when gangs of Sudanese or gangs of Egyptians come and ransack you or hold you hostage for $1M... who you gonna call? I thought so.

They aren't banning you from trading in those, only from trading in these within your HSBC account.

People sometimes ask me why as an avowed liberal can I be against unions. Clearly those people haven't experienced union labor as I did for a dozen years managing training programs for labor. But aside from personal experience, it's easy to debunk the union as progressive entities. They are...

You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Amazon offers the best starting wages and medical insurance package in the warehouse industry.

I knew I had made a mistake buying my 2nd hand Porsche when I took it for service a month into ownership as it reached the end of its 50k mileage warranty. There, a guy was visibly upset with the bill he had been given for his 4th year service on a car with less than 2k miles. $2900! I don't...
