    Can you hedge real estate?

    Wouldn't the best hedge, still be to just buy Blackstone? The only problem is at the CEO's age, you risk Schwarzman being replaced by some diversity hire who then leads the company to woke-broke. I think one of their best hedges was during the height of TGFC housing disaster. He bought IIRC...

    5 Predictions for Real World Assets in 2024

    I watched plenty of FIAT banks go under (live) since TGFC. Some of them were large investment banks that are no more. You would think no fiat firms have ever gone bankrupt before.

    A Billion $ Scam

    I may not be a senior citizen (yet)... but god. I keep getting hundreds of 'investment spam/scam' junkmail sent to me every day. Of course, when you try to hit any (I dont want anymore) button, they just send even MORE because they KNOW you are active. It's a never-ending process of updating...

    Bitcoin ETF?

    Mutual funds really have got a bad rep ever since low MER ETFs have come on the scene. I don't really see many wanting to push a horse carriage back in front of a highway of ICEs.

    What are you presently reading?

    So, I finished a couple of books this weekend. Right now it's 20 after midnight and I am already done with TastyTrade's Unlucky Investor's Guide. I thought it may be a little too basic, but I am glad I still gave this one a shot. I was surprised at the good content in here, a lot of it is not...

    MSTR buying even more bitcoin...asset bubbles are everywhere!!

    Most Canadian CEO's who bought BTC for the company balance sheets, ended up buying it high, and then selling it at market bottom. Each claimed this was to move to cash for.... reasons? Yet just prior they stated their cash on hand was in excellent condition for markets! Saylor is one of the...

    Sam Bankman-Fried found guilty on all seven criminal fraud counts

    Why is everyone so skeptical when someone says they are all for effective altruism?

    The US is now in recession

    That is such an old boomer tech. Everything is done using the teleporter these days.

    MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Holdings Top $8 Billion With Latest Purchase

    It's very simple. He's using a depreciating asset like worthless FIAT, and swapping it for one with superior stock-to-flow that even beats GLD.

    MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Holdings Top $8 Billion With Latest Purchase

    Tether is the #1 reason I won't over-leverage. Murphy's Law always holds true to me...

    Crypto Macro Trends for 2022

    Ouff... Well, at least CME Group just posted that they are allowing micro-futures contracts on Solana in January. So that may be worth something when it goes live... Nope, sorry. I just made that part up :) Gotcha!

    More Crypto Fraud

    Doesn't that make it more secure for those who had a hacked account? People who phish like to get in and run with your cash ASAP. They don't like waiting around for you to notice what's happening...

    Crypto Macro Trends for 2022

    I've been hearing the old ETH-Killer propaganda story ever since the days of ETH-Classic. But, THIS TIME IT'S DIFFERENT? (here we go again) :rolleyes:

    Alright, I FINALLY completed reading the manuscript for your story just now. That was a lot longer than I thought it would be. lol I'm not a daytrader, but it was a good refresher of terms that I never use in swinging LEAPs. I also have purchased a number of classic books from the era, getting...

    What are you presently reading?

    I started reading it through the night. May finish by later today after an X-mass party. I also have another older book on Taxation that I plan to finish up tonight. I also completed "How Money Became Dangerous" this week. It ends with Salomon Bros sending him over to Orange County to clean up...

    Crypto Macro Trends for 2022

    To be honest... I used to code contracts using solidity. To be fair, I have very little time these days for coding (or other joys in life), so I mostly stake my Ether and collect my payouts.

    Crypto Macro Trends for 2022

    Sol had its chance and failed to be the killer it claimed to be. You are swapping out 'security' for a boost in 'speed'... Not exactly the smartest thing to do in the world of finance... Not only did it lose its advantage in 'staking', but in the near horizon it will have to compete with...

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    I had tried to short PUTs on CAN a few months ago, but didn't get a fill at where I wanted. Well, I am trading most in your excel sheet so I'm ok with not getting TOO greedy. What the hell happened to Valkyrie there? It's an actively managed fund, I guess they should have just left it passive...

    BlackRock's Revamped Spot Bitcoin ETF Model

    Why exactly? The Canadian government has approved BTC and Ethereum ETFs to be purchased inside FTSA and RRSP registered accounts for years now. But then again, we've had the Roth and Roth-IRAs thing going years before the US decided to copy those ideas too. And for a really sad point, the world...
