Saying “we gotta get Greenland” when the people in Greenland say they don’t want to join the US. Then refusing to rule out using force. If you want to say that no exact act of treachery has been committed, then substitute “treacherous words”, which also harms alliances.
My wife got into trouble whilst unknowingly using OneDrive. She had a lot of photos on her laptop and they were being uploaded to OneDrive until it hit a limit (1TB?) and then started nagging her to upgrade to more storage. I had to disable OneDrive and move the photos back to her computer to resolve it.
Heads up on this media source: part of Hunterbrook's business model to give investment funds early access to the news, so they can trade ahead of it [1].
Now that is not to say that this story is false, or even that the business model is necessarily bad, I will leave that up to you to decide. But this media source has a different set of motivations than most readers are used to. You'll notice that the news is about two US companies that are easily shortable, DHI and LEN.
Usually big established companies that've been unfairly beaten down and financials don't have any red flags. I look at social chat/analyst chat also but mostly only to see if/how many people/bots are talking not really to see what they are saying.
For example, I hold oversized bags of Boeing, Pfizer, and Google right now (these are new-ish positions ~3-4m in)
If I'm wrong, I try to get out asap. If I'm right, I try to never sell.
I agree that it is not economics, or at least that their argument about economics does not suffice.
This is not a challenge and I am genuinely curious to hear your perspective: in what way does Greece teach their youngest generation to not want to have children?
Dozens of different ways, I should think, but foremost among them is by example. If you mother only had the one child, or maybe two... you don't grow up to have seven yourself. But then they send young children to school where many or most of the teachers are childless women. Their television programming will portray most women as childless, and those without children as being the happiest, and so on. I don't know anything about Greek comedy entertainment, but if it's anything like that of the rest of the western world, there will be all those groaner jokes about how horrible having a family is.
There are other childless cultures where these aren't the major factors in childlessness, but Greece doesn't strike me as one of those.
Would you mind continuing your tangent? I have a set of friends who really like Oster and I don’t know much about her. Feel free to email me (address is in my profile) if you don’t want to discuss in these comments.
You have the best post on this thread. One question, since you seem pretty knowledgable: I thought margin accounts were covered under SIPC? Can you send me a link on how with a margin account we are unsecured creditors? I found this one but it didn't really mention being unsecured:
https://www.sipc.org/for-investors/investor-faqs#how-are-mar...
Not an expert on SIPC either, but if you have less than $500k on your brokerage (including a max of $250k in cash), you should be fine either way (just like with FDIC insurance). The only possible exception is if you allow the broker to lend your shares, but even that may be covered, I don't know. If you have more though, the assets of an account with no margin are segregated, held 1-1, and are not allowed to be lent on, which simplifies the situation (barring criminal actions by Schwab, which are very unlikely). Not sure of the exact legal situation, but I remember that in 2008, this was considered relevant for funds that platformed with Bear Stearns, and caused funds to deleverage (ironically accelerating the situation)) in the weeks leading to its collapse/takeover.
Again, this is almost certainly not relevant, but it was a pretty simple action for me to do and quelled my paranoia.
