All of those. I realize you're super left wing so you will say that it is safe even if someone was getting shot every single day on all those lines, but for those of us with some sense, it is not safe. The simple fact is all it takes is one time to ruin your life.

Picking the right number at roulette has great returns too, that doesn't make it a legitimate investment. Don't worry I'm sure the crypto investors have "a system".

Until you've seen a toughbook cranked up to 1000 nits brightness you don't know what you're talking about. You need to add brightness so that your eyes which are adjusted to bright outdoor conditions can see the screen. No filter adds brightness.

This is the answer. Toughbooks are quite reasonable in the used market.

Define tech co. Generally tech companies sky high p/e ratios because of the potential for exponential growth. A lot of the big businesses are being valued like tech companies, yet the potential for exponential growth is not possible. Amazon of Tesla literally cannot grow by 1000x, especially...

That sounds great if you don't do this kind of stuff for a living. That means instead of a simple pair of small wires going to a turn signal, you need a bundle of higher spec, higher capacity wires. Then instead of simply having the turn signal, you need power conversion and a microprocessor...

Public transit is awesome... in Japan. In the US it's too dangerous.

The last thing I want when flying into a new city is to have to spend time looking for and waiting at EV chargers. I'm there to work. I don't have time for fake green nonsense.

I always look at pe ratio and debt. Price to book ratio is worth checking too. Read "the intelligent investor" There are some stocks that are ridiculously overvalued. Fundamentally the reason you buy stock in a company is for a claim on its future earnings. If that claim is too expensive...

It seems that if you have neither productive capacity nor storage capacity you would be at a major disadvantage here.

Like I said... Serious people with solid reasons why the things they're plowing money into will have real value. They're totally going to be able to predict the right time to cash out before it crashes. There's no way these people will keep shoveling in more and more money in a desperate rage...

Don't worry crypto people are serious businessmen and the future of the world economy. It's totally not a trap for fools! As long as lots of people are doing something it can't be wrong!

Debt matters. People who think otherwise are delusional.

Bond ladders are stupid in an inverted yield curve environment. Change my mind.

Agreed. But you need to keep in mind that this is what Bitcoin maniacs are claiming will happen. If Bitcoin continues it's historical price increase we're not talking that far in the future. Only assuming no one else can make the same analysis.

Then why talk about it? One of the things I've found with crypto bulls is that they are extremely sloppy with their use of commonly understood financial terms. I find the market cap more interesting on a going forward basis than the paid in cost but that's because it's useful to think about...

No it doesn't, but what it does show is that you can't assume that the market cap is necessarily anywhere close to the price that was paid in to get ownership of that asset. To quote from earlier in this thread "A quick google search tells me that currently 0.11% of the world’s money supply...

Market cap on it's own is valid but using it the way it was in this thread is not. Other wise there would have been $100 million dollars paid for a deli.

If you're just calculating market cap, that's not a valid statistic at all. See also the case of the $100 million deli https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-26/infamous-100-million-deli-decried-by-einhorn-draws-sec-suit#xj4y7vzkg A market cap is more of a theoretical number, not the...

I wonder what this will do for the banks. As long as they could claim they were going to pay them back and/or occupy space the could keep the value on their real estate holdings up. Now do they have write down the value of a bunch of loans that could crash more banks?
