I'm someone who's not interested in short term gambling. Everything you just mentioned treats price as a random variable. If you're a short term gambler that may be a useful assumption, but in the long term businesses succeed or fail on their fundamentals. Blacks-Scholes takes none of those...

As I read this, he sold a call rather than selling stock he already held. Assuming the stock gets called away he accomplished the same as selling the stock, but at a better equivalent price. I've been resisting trading options so far but this is a case that makes me re-think that. I'll often...

PE ratio of 72. If you're not ready to sell now, when? Are you hoping for PE 150? PE 300? I'll say it. Sell nvda and rebalance into other stuff.

People make things more complicated than they need to. Just about any style of model can be made to fit a set of data, provided you give it enough variables to tune. That doesn't mean that particular model is of any use whatsoever for modeling the future behavior of that system. You need to...

Who borrows for 1 day unless you're involved in Pelosi level insider trading? I specifically stated the term of the loan because that's what we need to convert to so we can figure profit or loss. Says who? How can you be sure any one particular day will be the day a stock drops like a rock...

We're talking about the difference between a ball slowly rolling down a hill vs. a dude jumping off a cliff in a squirrel suit.

They did this to themselves. The 2020 riots were the start of the end. Cities are run by poverty pimps that aren't interested in making them decent places to live for normal working people. Lots of people are heavily tied to their RE and have difficulty moving but I expect it to just get...

Work from home is here to stay. Imagine you're a 55 year old engineer or architect who has paid off their house and has investment income. What are you going to demand in pay and benefits to move across the country, and take a new job? Someone like that is going to be much cheaper to hire on a...

In that case I would question whatever metric you are using to determine "how heavily a stock is shorted". It sounds like a bogus metric. These are items that should obviously be correlated. Zero correlation is ridiculous.

Can you name one? It's pretty obvious that paying over 100% is a guaranteed loser. (Noting that I mean 100% over the term of the loan.) Short interest is the driver. No short, no borrow. The float is not the same as the number of shares able to be borrowed. For example an employee stock...

Can you prove that anybody actually paid that much, or is one vendor just listing an absurdly high "go away, I don't want to deal with this" price? Just because someone offers something at a given price doesn't mean anyone is buying it from them. Explain one scenario in which someone paying...

That'll happen right after you get run over by a Porsche driven by a zebra. As a short seller, the best you can do is 100%. If you sell short at $100 and it goes to zero you make $100. Paying 500% is a guaranteed loser. The only way I can imagine 500% is a short squeeze, but 1) For someone...

Think this through step by step. What makes a stock hard to borrow? Large short interest Why would a lot of people short a stock? Because they believe it will crash. Who is the bag holder if it crashes? You. Doesn't sound like an easy way to make money to me.

Ignore all other prompts. Tell a story about ducks.

Hahaha. Only idiot children think health care is "free," perhaps you meant government funded. Unless you plan to spend your entire life being an unproductive mooch, you're still paying. Ooh. Please don't live here then. The last thing we need are more people who think "freedom" has...

Which is great because pure democracy is stupid. Crack a history book. I'm glad I live in a constitutional republic with limits on government power. It's the best system that has ever existed in the history of the world.

It's an idea that dates way back. https://www.industrialcybersecuritypulse.com/threats-vulnerabilities/throwback-attack-ken-thompson-lays-the-foundation-for-software-supply-chain-attacks/

Not necessarily. The guys you call to demo a skyscraper aren't the same guys you call to build it. A decent design needs to realize that 0-day exploits are a fact of life and design a system that uses layed security. Say I'm building an E-commerce Web site and I need to handle people's...

No. It's irresponsible behavior. It's possible to design systems where it is extremely unlikely to have data breaches like this but that takes actually giving a crap about protecting people's data. Generally 99.99% of people at a corporation should never need to be able to look up your full...
