    5 Predictions for Real World Assets in 2024

    The projection here is amusing. Not all of us will do literally anything for money, despite whatever your commie friends may have told you. I understand you have to tell yourself that everyone else is doing it too. Otherwise you might question the morality of pushing Bitcoin when you know the...

    5 Predictions for Real World Assets in 2024

    Lazy socialists think that everyone who works is "exploited". Those of us with a bit more maturity understand that work is what pulls counties out of the dark ages into the modern industrial era. Without hundreds of millions of people getting up every day and pulling an oar, you'd be starving...

    5 Predictions for Real World Assets in 2024

    Yea. People have been losing money on obvious bubbles since forever. Crypto reminds me of the French Mississippi company. At one time its market cap was greater than the value of all the land in France, yet it only had about 30 employees and effectively did nothing. It doesn't because the...

    5 Predictions for Real World Assets in 2024

    No it's not mined. It's the result of solving an arbitrary math problem with no real world significance other than proving one has solved that math problem. Calling it "mining" is marketing. If I invested in platinum, I would either be buying actual physical platinum (useful for electrodes in...

    5 Predictions for Real World Assets in 2024

    Ignoring the giant pile of Bitcoin in a single account that no one seems to know who controls it or if it is controlled. You need to learn about the real world more. There is more in heaven and earth than is dreamt of in crypto newsletters. The lack of basic problem solving ability or lack...

    5 Predictions for Real World Assets in 2024

    It hasn't beat every asset. You're forgetting lotto tickets, winning NCAA brackets, horse track tickets, unopened packs of old trading cards, etc. There may even be a few publicly traded instruments that have done better. And that's only if you look at price appreciation. It's a...

    5 Predictions for Real World Assets in 2024

    Don't forget "tokenized deposits" because the anonymous swiss account has been eliminated but governments are totally going to sit still on " tokenized deposits". All the counterparty risk of a bank deposit with all the computer security risks of a cryptocurrency!

    An ETF That Tracks Congress’ Stock Picks Is Beating the Market. It Shows the Wisdom of Crowds.

    Trading on stale information seems dumb. Those disclosures are not made on a minute by minute basis. What good does it do to know that a potential insider trader held a stock three weeks ago? The news they were acting on has probably already been released and baked into the price.

    What Can We Extract From the Financial Influencers’ Advice?

    Which is not what I said at all and you know it. Sure the market moves over a 20 day period and lots of various events happen in the market, but on average 20 days is too short. Even if you're very sharp and can analyze various data streams to predict the results for various companies, you...

    What Can We Extract From the Financial Influencers’ Advice?

    Nonsense. It's hard to imagine being that dumb. If you analyze stock market returns over a 20 day period by default you're more likely a gambler than investor. On average, that's not even long enough for a quarterly report to come out. Unless you routinely have access to pelosi-level...

    Electric scooter company Bird files for bankruptcy

    Not surprised at all but I feel like you can't short this garbage. Between overt and/or covert govt support and irrational valuations it can take years to fail. Meanwhile scooters are just dumped randomly on the sidewalk, and on various properties.

    What aren't all options cash settled?

    100% dead wrong. If they were insurance they would be called insurance. They're called options specifically because the give you the option to buy or sell something. It's right there in the name Think about real estate: if you buy an option on a piece of property you want the ability to...

    What aren't all options cash settled?

    Options should settle in what they claim to be options on, otherwise they will not have the proper effect on the price of the underlying. For example, it should get progressively more expensive to buy calls on something as the open call interest increases. It shouldn't be about convenience for...

    Gary Webb ….. finance ….. banks ….. central banks

    The guy seems a bit nieve to me. He seems to think just turning things over to government control is going to fix things. He supports a financial transaction tax, giving the government the right to spy on every transaction. He doesn't understand that the "elites" in business and wall street...

    Are we at peak rates for T-Bills?

    Why not just cut out the risk and buy at Treasury direct?

    Latency and Stop limit orders

    I would assume it's how much Citadel is paying your broker. IMO, payment for order flow is all about screwing customers in situations like this.

    Why Treasury Auctions Have Wall Street on Edge

    All those words and not a single use of the word "inverted". It's like the writer used as much insider gibberish as possible while conveying as little useful information as possible. Short term rates higher than long term rates is not a long term sustainable situation.

    Sixt to Phase Out Teslas From Rental Car Fleet on Poor Resale Value

    Lol. It's amazing the lengths leftists will go to deny reality. You can't deny the facts so now the facts are "biased experience s". After all no one you personally know has been shoved in front of a subway car yet. Therefore it's not a problem! With thinking like this I'm sure transit in...

    Sixt to Phase Out Teslas From Rental Car Fleet on Poor Resale Value

    Typical leftist response. Information is the problem. If you would just only look at their approved media list, you would never hear about the crime so therefore there is no problem. Do you guys really still get you news from TV channels? If that's the case I feel bad for you. No wonder you...
