    Carbon Credits

    That's not a carbon credit. It's a fleet credit, each manufacturer has to have a certain percentage of their fleet be zero emissions and they can use credits from another manufacturer to achieve that. This makes perfect sense, if you want X% of new cars to be zero emissions you don't really care...

    Carbon Credits

    Absolutely not, that's a pure fabrication by someone.

    The big question is if it's a bad thing or a good thing when Trump criticises your company!

    U.S. tech leaders sound alarm over Trump immigration ban

    You answer your own question with yourself as the racist example! And in a delicious bit of irony you inadvertently point out something very important. If what you say is true, imagine what it's like to be a minority in this country? You've got 2/3 of the population white and you're in the 13%...

    This guy says Snapchat worth $500 million as opposed to the bubble $25billion!!

    Don't get these guys started. According to them there is ludacris inflation, "they" are just lying about it.

    Paying off mortgage

    A million dollars buys you a two bedroom condo in SF or NY, is that really considered rarified property or just a catchy name (not familiar with the show)?

    More evidence that the gig economy is actually making people poorer

    It's not a matter of fair, it's a matter of possible. You stated "People with "poor" mindset will always get poorer. If you have a goal you can always make it, especially in the U.S." The guy in the example I just cited is getting poorer, do you really think that's because he has a "poor...

    U.S. tech leaders sound alarm over Trump immigration ban

    Wow, is their no limit to your ignorance? They made Sundar Pichai CEO of Google to get better offshore pricing? Couldn't have been because he led the development of Chrome and Google Drive? Or successfully led the Gmail and Google Maps divisions. Couldn't have been because he accomplishes more...

    Paying off mortgage

    Realized my mistake vis a vis using the term "investing" after my edit time had expired..d'oh! It doesn't matter what numbers you use or if it's you specifically or a generic you. Those terms simply help some people see things more concretely. I think you missed my entire point. If you have...

    Selling vertical call spread before ex-dividend date

    Just a suggestion, but instead of thinking "I am betting that it won't recover 57 cents in 3 days." you might want to think "I am betting that it won't recover 1.425% in 3 days.", and then look at how often it's realized that volatility in the past X weeks. It's a subtle shift in the way you...

    U.S. tech leaders sound alarm over Trump immigration ban

    I'm pretty damn clear about who I am, why don't you search my back posts? Again, I'd be proud to say I was from India if I was, and ignorant racists like you make me somewhat ashamed to say I'm from the United States despite having spent an entire first career in the military protecting your...

    Paying off mortgage

    My point is you didn't "free up" anything. If you have $500K plus $2,000 a month to put toward something it doesn't matter if you you use the $500K to buy the vacation home and use the $2,000 a month to pay your mortgage, use the $500K to pay off your house and the $2,000 a month to pay for your...

    U.S. tech leaders sound alarm over Trump immigration ban

    Since the current CEO's of Microsoft, Google, Adobe, Pepsi, and dozens of other big companies in the U.S. are originally from India, I'd feel like I was in pretty good company if I was from India. I actually feel a bit bad to be a white American because people like you make us all look like...

    All great points, thank you for that more realistic and nuanced view.

    The problem with banks and wire transfers

    Save yourself a bunch of aggravation and just block the guy. He's so predictable that I can tell who you're talking about even though I have him blocked and can only see your side of the conversation! Eventually if we all ignore him he'll just be ranting into the wind.

    Goldman mulls collapse in gasoline demand

    So that's true for the existing car fleet, but average fuel efficiency of new cars sold in the U.S. fleet has gone up 30% in the last 25 years, (https://www.rita.dot.gov/bts/sites/rita.dot.gov.bts/files/publications/national_transportation_statistics/html/table_04_23.html). That would tend to...

    U.S. tech leaders sound alarm over Trump immigration ban

    Again achilles28, my case in point. Not everyone opposed to immigrants is a racist. However for many it's a pretty flimsy covering for racism and for people like this jackass it's just pure, naked redneck racism.

    Goldman mulls collapse in gasoline demand

    And since domestic production plus Canada and Mexico pretty much covers all U.S. domestic consumption, a run rate calc on the "reserves" doesn't mean a whole lot.

    Paying off mortgage

    How does putting $500K that you had in cash into your house "free up" money? You went from having $500K to invest to having $2,000/month to invest. At best six of one half dozen of another. I'd have to echo several of the posters here, for an investing forum the basic concepts of money seem...

    U.S. tech leaders sound alarm over Trump immigration ban

    "Naturally born Westerners" are naturally superior are they? This is why they pull a racist card achilles28, to answer your question.
