Clever how you did that, I like it!

The only coherent English in that sentence was "all total rambling". Add irony to the things you don't get! Actually you probably are on to acceptable drinking hours in the UK and you're starting to sound like I have on occasion when I've had one to many, so maybe that's it. felixbocharov had a...

And then back to my long list of ways that tech companies have all literally changed the world, in both concrete and abstract ways. I noticed you ignored that, inconvenient for you I know. As we've both pointed out to you numerous time, something that obviates the need for 20 trucks at the price...

On my reading list for tonight, thanks! BTW, are you energy-electricity or energy-oil & gas?

What I took out of AntiFragility was all about designing systems that could handle external shocks of the unknown unknown variety. I have no doubt you took out of it exactly what you stated, and if you asked someone else who read it they would say something different from both of us. Like I...

This is getting tiresome, so you think all/most tech companies have no real value or just Apple. Make up your damn mind!

The manipulation issue is very real, for sure. I think it's the only valid argument I've seen on this thread against cash settled products, although I'm starting to grasp the difficulties for MM as well. You can certainly arbitrage a cash settled future with the underlying, pretty much by...

That's not your position at all. You've gone on and on both in this thread and others about how essentially any company that doesn't make something you can grab hold of with your own two hands is an overvalued flash in the pan. If you want to modify that to now saying that it's only phone's...

I've read all his work and don't take "those who take the most risk bear almost none of the consequences" as an idea of his at all, let alone a core one. Of course he is the kind of person who can get you to believe that he agrees with your core view and me to believe he agrees with my core view...

I actually hate Apple products and use Android exclusively. That doesn't mean I find Apple to be of little value. A fine distinction for you, I know. But nice that you realized you've run out of even a shred of a rational argument and moved on to attacking the messenger. Like I said, first rule...

I'm the first to agree that you could be over-leveraged if you can't take delivery of options, but there are a number of scenarios where you aren't over-leveraged by any stretch of the imagination. This haroldg character is certain that only his version of the world is true, you must be...

You need to get out more, the women in my life certainly don't "surf facebook every waking minute". But if they did, there's huge value there, television never had that kind of market share. The entire entertainment industry is a useless thing as well, right? Not real like a truck. And books...

I'm pretty sure sle understands the risks of manipulation. Did you ignore my very detailed response with examples of how you could be risking only 5% of your capital and still not be able to take delivery if you're trading spreads. Again I ask you, how can you possibly consider putting 5% of...

Not sure what your last sentence even means. Add to that the fact the internal inconsistencies in what you post are just stunning and one wonders at your mental state. At this point you're clearly just trolling, which is the charitable interpretation because otherwise you're just shockingly...

Only a special kind of Luddite makes his living off technology and claims none of it is real or as worthwhile as a truck! I tend to agree with the BS call, although I've noticed that people who code call themselves developers or programmers while everyone from the annoying password nazi to...

Your £20 was a £2000 phone before we started moving down the phone cost curve by building what were then expensive phones, and you paid £20/minute to call. And just as SimpleTrades pointed out, just because you don't use all the features of an iPhone doesn't mean that lots of us don't use them...

We did just fine without cars for thousands of years, they're just something you think you need. You're funny in an Amish kind of way, you stopped progressing with the rest of the world sometime just before the internet and think everything developed after you froze yourself in time is worthless...

If your predictions were created and tested on the same dataset how do you not have 1000% returns? You absolutely have to have out of sample testing or you're proving nothing more than your ability to fit data. If you haven't taken a couple advanced stats classes I highly recommend you do since...

So Hawaii isn't domestic because there's some water between it and the other states, and any law that uses the term domestic doesn't apply there?

Pretty sure you misread/misunderstood my post!
