And trying to overturn an election that he clearly lost, to the point of inciting a violent mob to physically attack our congress in order to force them to overturn the will of the people. At least I was furious about that, maybe I'm just old fashioned in my caring about democracy and the rule...

Sadly when they said they were going to keep it short they meant their post, not actually putting their money where their mouth was and going short. The punters who pontificate the most here seldom do put their money where their mouth is. I'll give @kmiklas kudos for having the decency and...

On Jan 15th when @ET180 was predicting doom and gloom, Twitter was at $40. Right now it's at $59 after hours. If an increase of nearly 50% in the price of a stock in a quarter is "dead meat" to those two then I'd love to hear more of their predictions of companies that are "dead meat"!

And Twitters Q1 results were announced today Twitter (TWTR) earnings Q1 2021 (cnbc.com). Some highlights for our friends @ET180 and @kmiklas whose predictions didn't age well: -Revenue of $1.04 billion for the quarter, which was up 28% from $808 million a year prior. -Profit of $68 million...

That's a hell of a long weekend between July 5th and Sep 11th!

Again one wonders how someone who triples down on the idea that July 5th or Sep 6th were a day or two before September 11th manages to navigate through the day to day of life, let alone trade. It would be comical to watch your responses if it wasn't so sad.

Old subconscious still at it, isn't it. I feel for you @henry76, you seem to have very little agency in your life. Grab at least a little of that back and show us all "the chart" for "a day or two before" 9/11. Come on, I know you can do it!

The brain's a fascinating thing, as displayed here. It's both unreliable in memory and hugely resistant to having that pointed out. Our friend @henry76 started out with a memory of (my bolding for emphasis). When it's pointed out that in fact over the 2 days prior to 9/11 the dollar was flat...

Any connection between 9/11 and short selling has been thoroughly and fully debunked. And your assertion specifically can be checked by anyone in about 2 minutes on the internet. As you can see the USD actually went up against the GBP and EUR and down just slightly against the JPY on Sep 10th...

The 20 gallons of gasoline in an ICE car contain the same energy as an EV. The biggest difference is that gasoline actually frequently does explode when exposed to heat. Let's not be silly here!

Azure and AWS are in the $60B+ annual revenue range. Oracle isn't expected to top $1B in sales until 2023 (Oracle is a laggard in cloud infrastructure even after TikTok deal (cnbc.com)) IBM's cloud numbers are somewhat closer but it turns out that what they call "cloud" and what the rest of the...

You seem to be disputing that the Balmer attended the GSB for a year and dropped out in order to be an early employee at MSFT. It's simply a well established, biographical, utterly noncontroversial fact. Of course the school must be in the the lie too? (Steve Ballmer: Evolving as a Leader as...

Are you seriously saying that a well documented fact, backed in my case by conversations that I've personally heard from several of Balmer's classmates is "whatever you say" because I wasn't there? What's the matter with you?

Actually he quit business school at Stanford after his first year to take a winger on Gates and MSFT while all his classmates had the opportunity to go on to nice safe lucrative consulting and IB jobs. Then negotiated a performance based comp package that ended up making him the third biggest...

If you run a real business then all I can say is good luck when you get audited! I'm sure those IRS agents will be understanding when you tell them they're "100% wrong" and that you don't have to show any support for the "business lunch" you wrote off every weekday for the past year. Let us all...

Of course you also have to consider where Steve Jobs is now.....

All the more impressive if you can do it drunk:D

What did gold do since 2009 when everyone (including me) was saying exactly this same thing? The correlation isn't perhaps as strong as you suspect and neither is the certainty of the inflation you're expecting. You're only hearing about it out if proportion now because conservatives just...

Balmer was crucial in taking MSFT from a 30 person private company to a public company that dominated it's field. He just sucked at running it as a mature company years later. That's doesn't make one a mediocre person, it just makes them really good at one thing and not at another. Throwing...

So they were considering the fact that pricing was different on one market from another as a crossed market as if they were both the same market? That's a novel interpretation.
