Can't we simply punish the scammers, so as to warn others not to do the same? Generally speaking the regulation of the markets doesn't do all that much to protect individual investors. We just (sometimes, rarely) punish people aft

I'm late here, but it's simple supply and demand. How much are you willing to pay to have your trash taken out? I'm guessing you won't pay 100k a year for yours. Someone will come and do it for far less. If nobody was wi

I believe he is referring to the past. The history so far is such that there haven't been many losing 2 year stretches. So far, it also hasn't gone up 500,000% in two years either. So, not nearly as risky as a lottery, and not qui

it went from $2 to $16 (split adjusted). The real difference is that it was much much smaller at IPO, meaning it's pretty much impossible for FB to continue generating outsized returns whereas Amazon actually did much better from 5-10

there are many many benefits to blockchains and cryptocurrencies that aren't covered by things being illegal. For one, when I try to transfer money between banks it takes like a week. When I transfer ether it takes 15 seconds. If you&#

I find them to be hit or miss. I've had things rejected that were just simply not in violation of the rules. I think sometimes they just get a memo or something about a specific section of the guidelines and they take it too far. I&#x2

In what world is $850-$1050 a month not expensive? That's a mortgage in most of the country, for which if you are healthy you get nothing at all in return (except perhaps peace of mind if you get in a car accident)

This is a bet on AI and machine learning. Not video games. NVidia is currently the publicly traded company that best fits that narrative. If you think it will get big, this is the company you buy.

Is it? I personally agree, but I'm not sure the population at large will. People like being in control, and they always overestimate their own competence.

The federal gov't spends less than 2% of the budget on ground transportation (roads, bridges, and even amtrak included in that number). So, no, the road out front doesn't in fact get us back all the taxes we pay

I don't think anyone has said they think they should pay 0 taxes. Just that perhaps 50% is more than is needed, and that we waste a lot of tax money.

Perhaps, but drinking and driving is quite a bit more preventable than being stressed. Certainly people get distracted and accidents happen, but purposely driving impaired is in fact something different. That being said, generally speaking,
