Very oddball in what they chose as the underlying as well, often not at all what you'd expect given the name of the instrument. IMHO it's not a serious product. They needed to gamify it and make it easily accessible, this "build it and they will come" mentality of everyone in the finance world...

We'll let the right folks sort that out. It's late for you over there now but I'll get started on it in the morning. I did some exchange work when I was in the military with some of the finest examples of your countrymen, a few of which are now in various civilian LE positions. I'm sure they'll...

Dude, you can stop now. Everyone is quite convinced that you're completely off your rocker. No need to keep trying to convince us! Maybe put a little of that "Black Sash Kung Fu" (yeah right) time into some research on UK law (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Vict/24-25/100/section/16) and...

Again, great job convincing the world that the COVID deniers are completely unhinged. You've accomplished that in spades!

So I've come to the conclusion that our village idiots here are actually disguised agents trying to encourage wearing masks and taking COVID seriously. How can that be? Let's assume that there are some intelligent, well meaning people who are on the fence about this. They decide they'll listen...

Once again, I didn't discover this, I'm just trying to help you out by conveying it to you. It's not open for debate, if you do a search even here you'll see dozens of people describe it and if you were willing to actually pay Green Trader to talk about it he would describe exactly this. Happy...

Even most Americans aren't aware that a large number of the United States' prisons are run by private, for profit companies. Some of us believe that provides a perverse incentive against criminal justice reform and it's without question that it creates a lobby against anything that would reduce...

I don't think you got my point. Berlin was a split city during the cold war. The 2/3 of the city's population that was West Berlin wouldn't have received the BGG shot, they were part of West Germany. East Berlin was about the population of the other cities you mentioned. So if the shot made...

Only one person crying in this thread, take a look in the mirror my little snowflake friend. BTW, I served my country for more than 20 years. You can certainly disagree with me, I put my life on the line to ensure you could do that, but you sure as hell don't get to tell me I'm anti-American...

You're forgetting that West Berlin was about twice the population of East Berlin, so the BCG shot portion of the city is similar in size to all the other cities you mentioned. Not that we could come to any useful conclusion anyway without analyzing population flows since reunification and...

Maybe someone can write a movie about all the reality denying morons dying. It would even be plausible given a more virulent disease that impact all age groups equally post COVID when they've all turned anti-science into a political party.

Then there was Lord of the Flies......

That must be a depressingly cynical worldview to have. At some point we all lived in caves and life was nasty, brutish and short. Since the world is zero sum, every advance that has happened since this has put some poor human further and further negative from that point? Or if you don't want...

Those people are all dying of something else, the COVID diagnosis is just an aside. Haven't you been listening to our village idiot? Now if they just start ensuring none of them get enough oxygen, it will kill those virus critters good.

Can you say "projection" @Turveyd?

Yeah that herd immunity thing sure worked great with polio and smallpox and Dengue and Malaria and.... not to mention the percentages of native American populations killed by novel viruses when they were first exposed. Although I think it did eventually work with bubonic plague in a manner of...

It may be easier to grasp this concept (for @Tradex and others) when you think of a bond. Imagine I buy a 10 year bond and hold it for 5 years, receiving interest payment the whole time. Then I sell it to someone who holds it for the remaining 5 years. Did I lose, since he got interest for the...

First off you didn't actually address my question? Second, no-one is disputing that there are things that are zero sum games in life and even in investing. When you write or buy an option or futures contract that's generally a zero sum game. That doesn't mean all markets are. The amount of time...

If you place someone on ignore they can't see your posts and you can't see theirs. No need to make a production out of it, just click the button.

It's a pretty massive mistake, one that smart people unfortunately make far more often than they should, to try to collapse complex social constructs into physics problems. Creating value in the business world is in no way the same as putting energy into a closed system. Go back to my example...
