Deals like this are all about leverage. Who has the power? The poison pill would force Musk to be a "good actor" in the negotiations. You want negotiations like this to be friendly and not become a hostile takeover.

I would tend to agree with you. I believe that payments is probably the major driving force here but we have yet to see anything that rivals the Visa network for example. Having some concept of money that isn't tied to a government is

What's your underlying point here? That people shouldn't be doing things in python that take up a lot of memory?

Dictatorships over time become police states. In Lebanon there is a healthy history of political satire, thanks in part to the fact that there is no real government. The doctors mistake was thinking that any sort of "freedom" of s

I disagree with your blanket statement on fraud. Pink sheets are a portion of what trades OTC. There are other types of securities like F-shares (foreign listings that trade in USD) and other trusts. GBTC: the only bitcoin fund in the US tr

Pump and dump is as old as the stock market. What is more impressive is the they got involved at the corporate level, getting private companies to merge into OTC shells as well as issuing official SEC filings in target industries (probably

This happened with SKT (Tanger outlets) which is a high dividend paying stock in SDY ETF. The ETF was approaching 50% ownership stake. The fund needs to report their holdings. Not all companies have a poison pill provision. Not all companie

Don't think that's true. ETF fund managers, when faced with a corporate action decision, will always vote for whatever maximizes their shareholders value.

Good observation. Market impact is notoriously hard to measure - especially over a 2-month period like this one. You have to build a more complex model - which includes fundamentals.

Ok so assuming march 14 to April 1. The market was up 8% over that time and TWTR was up 19%. Beta is 1.3 so with a beta adjustment the excess return from musk's buying is about 19-(8*1.3)=8.6%. Is this a lot or a little impact for buyi

Someone can do a basic quantitative analysis. He started buying March 1 (?) I believe. This date is public in last filing. You can estimate the historical beta, and get TWTR return and market return in March. My quick analysis was that in t

On the other hand - the stock was flat over the time that he bought... So not in total agreement with you on the stock impact of his selling. It seems like the only impact is the headline risk - and not so much actual selling pressure.

The missing component not mentioned in PGs essay is the acceleration and amplification of cancel culture via the Internet. Even a decade ago, tribes were geographically local. Today, your tribe is literally global. It knows no borders. Thus

We can also generalize: Dictatorial regimes suck. For all the gnashing, grinding, complaining, partisan politics in the USA over COVID policies, I think the USA came out alright. The detractors will say the USA failed. That 1m people died.

Well I think you said it: lack of crew communication. I would argue that communication is rooted in culture. Is there a safety culture? Is it the culture to go through a checklist of items, even if routine? If there was "automation-exi

Hate to bring up the AF crash in the middle of the ocean from Brazil to France. This was, at the very root of it, a cultural issue. Pure speculation (because it's fun to speculate): this seems related to similar issues in the cockpit.

I don't think there's any one reason: its a confluence of societal, economic and cultural shifts and perceptions about higher education. Many men don't feel they need more education. Costs of education are too high and some m
