Because a short is a sale without actually having the stock for in possession. Combined with stock loaning and sufficient capital, it allows shorters to distort market pricing with something orthogonal to the core dynamics.

I think there's two things here. One is the case of the said underpricing. That's the theoretical role that short selling. The second is that it's a fantastic weapon to use against less sophisticated, less coordinated retail

Or a "suit" as per the typical wall street uniform, and blonde hair? I'd say you're heavily overfitting here.

They're not just some hours it feels, they're some days to a week behind. I've been following this one for a week or two now, and silver was never the mainstay. It was there in small quantities, but generally drowned out by $

Full agreement, but I think danudey's version captures it better than yours as it better captures the current ruleset incentivizing bad behavior. Screw them: Get stuff -> Net Positive Screw them, get caught: Return stuff -> Net 0

He did. He's also probably correct. I'm pretty sure R/D affiliation is a fantastic feature for tracking the end target of any specific donation. A small subset of R's might donate to Biden, but those are likely swamped b

Personally, I feel like all those news orgs should be liable for something. Blatantly lying to a huge audience in an attempt to influence the market to me feels like blatant market manipulation, especially in time-sensitive situations. If a

It does, but as he said, only under ideal conditions. I.e.: No limits to bets and infinite base money. Both of which clearly don't exist.

I'm not sure which part of Asia you're in. Respected, perhaps. Not nearly on the same level as a doctor /lawyer /engineer, social status wise, but not horrible. Revered? I don't think I've seen this where I am.

Probably not. Perhaps if the brokerage blocks didn't cap their momentum allowing the earlier shorts to get out at 120

Go back a bit more, you'll see the 80 percent on borrow fees too.
612.
by esyir 6y ago
Technically not. Shorts have a borrow fee, and if you trust the wsb guys on this number, the current borrow fee on gme is 80 percent per annum. So if I'm not getting anything wrong here, short sellers do have a bit of a clock.

Sounds like that's a symptom though to me. Once they fall out of the mainstream, they get booted out and sent indieland.

That's like 50 percent of their user base apparently, according to reports that 50 percent of Robin Hood accounts own gme.

Trade halts are generally by exchanges and not individual brokers, no?

Eh, if I dump shit all over your yard, then stop doing it, does me stopping invalidate the earlier event?

It probably isn't about the quantity. Its about the shamelessness, or perception thereof

Private platforms, can't do shit about them, yada yada yada. That's bullshit. The principle, and thus the the right to free speech is the fundamental value of a free country. Hiding behind the "they're a private company,

Sounds like bullshit to me. I don't quite believe that there's actually a tax system out there in any major country with inverse progressive taxation.

I don't see how. "yes, we can now subsidise our competitors?"

Probably, genetic factors for health outcomes aren't exactly some tenuous link. Differential genetic composition of the various races has been shown repeatedly to affect anything from disease risk to drug response.

That's simple. Integrate or be removed. Cultures across time have dealt with attempts to supplant them with hostility. Whether you see that as a viable option is up to you.

I think the catch here is that people in academia who like cs/eng rapidly leave academia for the much better paying sde/data science roles. Then what you have left are the people who care less about the code, at least in aggregate

I'll put it the other way though, if you attribute it to any other artist, would the appeal be greatly reduced? Can the art stand alone and be great on its own merit rather than the borrowed fame of its creator?

Heh, my respect for rw media is generally pretty low. Its just that my previous respect for lw media has been steadily getting shaved away. Probably amplified by the way that I'm exposed to far more of it. Unfortunately, I don't t

Sounds pretty similar to me. Both sides involved an attempted violent incursion into a core zone of the government. On bias checks, I'd probably just ask you to do the same first. Hell, I'm not even American. One was met with cele

I will say that these events have given me some respect for the right wing media. They at least were willing to call these riots and condemm them, which is more than I can say about the reaction to blm. From the left media.

Or the incident at the white House that had the secret service moving trump to a bunker for his safety. Note that left aligned media considered this a good thing. Contrasting this to the reaction to capitol hill does not bode well to me.

I'll join you on beating that drum. Statistics are the key skill for making policy decisions. One that the vast majority of the population, educated or not, fail to grasp.
