goverment investments in infrastructure have created 10s of trillions of wealth. government court system as well. same with a social safety net. It’s a lot easier to take a risk when you know your kids won’t be sold into indentured servitude if you fail. even organizations like the FDA have...

the government can’t be a for profit entity. How would the army work if it were a for profit entity? What about the fire department? Or the police? Or the safety net? Schools? we can privatize all of it. I think you would be very unhappy with the outcome.

a culture and ecosystem that promotes entrepreneurship and a talent pool to execute that entrepreneurship. The talent pool comes there because it’s a desirable place to be. That’s why New York is full of finance firms. The talent wants to be where the restaurants and culture are (and the...

there is no clear answer. It depends on your view and the price of option. You obviously want to maximize your profit / investment while taking into account the risk of the investment. Percent return unfortunately isn’t enough - it’s going tobe driven by the underlying Greeks (delta, gamma...

1. An option is a basket of risks. The premium of an option isn’t really relevant. Here the percent return isn’t relevant. 2. the option as an asset itself. Maybe percent return is useful but it will lead to weird conclusions: for example if you buy a call and simultaneously sell a put, you...

You can do the analysis yourself in excel, but I have never looked at this metric nor has anyone else I have ever traded alongside with. delta provides a more relevant understanding of sensitivity to underlying.

Sleepy joe hasn’t been that sleepy since he took office.

what does reallocate current resources mean? change budget priorities from what to what? we have to borrow to pay our interest expense. Trade imbalances are a product of a free market - the kind of market a typical trader would want. Stop sending money overseas... to say Israel? I agree...

avoiding the question. You keep talking about how democrats want to raise taxes without talking about all the spending that has been done. How do we solve the sins of the past? You don’t want higher taxes (nor do I) but how do we pay for the wars, CARES act, social security, etc? what ideas do...

generic answers. we have like 10 trillion in debt and adding like a trillion a year (without COVID's support for business). How do we solve this?

Ken, How should the US Government pay for all the debt it has incurred during COVID? How should the US Government pay for the deficits incurred by the Trump Tax Cuts? How should the US Government pay for the wars from Bush 2?

DiceAreCast said: Really? According to which metric? I can't disagree more. No matter how hard I think I find not one single metric that would make 41 individuals worth/valuable more than half the world population other than wealth. Not IQ, not education, not effort, not location, not anything...

and using the logic in the OP’s article and your posts: you haven’t explained why a mexican auto worker is worth less than one in Alabama or a unionized one in Michigan.

would you say the same for the Walton kids? Or Abigail Johnson of fidelity? they all worth tens of billions of dollars each. What about John Kerry who is worth a billion dollars because he married someone who was married to a Heinz heir. If Elon’s value is Elon (and not his creation that is...

Obviously Elon Musk. But Elon Musks net worth is determined by the present value of his business (specifically in his case exaccerbated by the speculative dollars trading his stock) A Mexican toiler doesn't get credit for the present value of his earnings in these reports. Further, a Mexican...

i don’t think this is the right way to look at it. By your logic an assembly worker in Mexico is less valuable than one in Norway because the Mexican is poorer due to lower wages, not necessarily lower productivity. further, the wealth of a billionaire largely reflect the present value of the...

Margin reqs move around. a margin call isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It could mean you’ve lost a lot of money. It could also mean your book has changed or your brokers tolerance for risk has changed.

Yeah - like cons referencing Hillary or a junior congresswoman.

Action oriented President!

Especially in the final act.
