Race is not part of the score. The fact that you make mention of race says you aren’t reading or processing the article properly.

Not race. The privelege score does not include race.

I’m probably richer than you. That makes my kids smarter and harder working than yours.

You are all over the place. US companies want to make money. There is money to be made in China. China has rules about technology sharing - which if done honorably would be fine. However it’s not. The technology is transferred and then stolen and then it’s too late. There is no way to sue to...

Because they are using the money to lever it at a brokerage account and then trade it. Of course debt like that would be very low quality paper.

They can’t. This IP issues are either codified in Chinese law or the government encourages it.

Because they also got access to one billion potential customers.

It will hurt Americans more than Chinese. They lose an export market but there are many products you cannot buy outside of China. American manufacturing has been gutted that much! Especially in consumer and electronics areas.

Yeah. Exactly. Should the president of the US be saying “ buy stocks now!”? Of course not. No financial advisor can say that. You are just anti-Obama so you are looking to criticize. If he didn’t say “potentially” and stocks did go lower you would criticize him for that.

It’s probably java related. Etrade pro isn’t that great on my “awesome” expensive dell workstation

Well even those comments were considered controversial because what if the market had gone lower. Many thought it was irresponsible for the president to be giving stock market advice.

While I am pro-trade war, I do not think the American people will win. Trump will claim victory like he did with his re-negotiation of nafta. But how’s that foxcon plant in Wisconsin going? Or the carrier plant in Indiana.

This is a very dumb article. He says China needs a deal more than the US. But the next 4 paragraphs are about how US farmers are getting screwed.

You might qualify for a mortgage without income. I got my mortgage based on assets. The thing is that the bank had to hold my mortgage on their books (they can’t sell it via an asset backed security). What will it cost you to hedge your account to avoid a margin call at all costs? That would...

I do something similar but you would rather have your liabilities to have a longer term than your assets require. So you would rather have a mortgage on the property funding your brokerage account. A margin call against an illiquid asset is how many firms (including GE and citadel) nearly went...

The call price is higher because you are expected to earn interest on the capital savings. If you can’t lend at the implied interest rate then the call is worse. A typical retailer can’t lend nor borrow at the implied rate. Not that these are normally significant issues.

Theirs. But in 10 years it would be ours. They need exports. It creates employment which prevents revolution. Americans will suffer - but much of the middle class seems to be good with this. America will do better if Chinese imports are reduced.

When I said OCC, I was meaning the financing rate implied by the option which is like an average of the good banks financing. The option is going to assume you earn interest on the cash saved (the strike price). If you can’t earn that rate you will be slightly worse off.

I doubt 1/8 are really attempting suicide. The successful suicide rates would be much higher (like 5percent of all high school students).

That only holds if you finance better than the OCC. ie you can put the extra cash to work at a higher rate than libor.
