I see no schadenfreude in this article. On the contrary, I see this: "For me, this was not sweet revenge but just the toughest decision (to sell or fight) that had turned out so positively!!" I'm not sure why you ask the general question a

Sure. I guess I could post it here, but maybe we could try hooking up at https://bonchat.org/9ff3842f90e90d5e with "katie tiny judd". Or, more conventionally, visit the loom.cc web site and send an email from there (click Contact).

True. When you buy IBM on margin, you're shorting USD. So if they reinstate the uptick rule for short selling, shouldn't they add a downtick rule for margin buying? :)

I won't down-vote you, even though I'm that hedge fund accountant you're talking about. :) Even without knowing all the minute intricacies of how the share lending occurs, my accounting results can still pass audits with flying colors, ye

I believe this is roughly how shorts are handled on the Lima stock exchange, through the mechanism of "Operaciones del Reporte" -- a peer-to-peer lending system on the exchange. These loans are fully collateralized, keeping the risk extrem

These are great examples, and your point is well taken. The https://loom.cc/faq system avoids this sort of nonsense altogether. An asset type such as 2fcb2b81bb96bb51cec88edcb4b9a480 might represent a real underlying asset being traded,

By the way, such confusing issues (pun intended) can never arise in a system such as https://loom.cc/faq . There each asset type has a specific hexadecimal identifier, and the only way to create a liability is to issue a brand new distin

I'm a hedge fund accountant, and my software follows many thousands of trades including short sales. I know exactly how to account for these trades, but I have no idea what's really going on. As an accountant, all I see is that someone sol

Well, the first two points are direct quotes from the essay, but I did add a few more points from other sources. To those who cannot stomach Ayn Rand, allow me to summarize the high points which I have adopted for myself: 1. I can deal with

Yes -- I hesitate even to use the term "intellectual property" because of the possible misunderstandings. To be clear: I oppose the granting of monopolies, maintained by force, as in the patent system. I view this exactly as you do: as

Sure, but this particular article is far better than the trash you describe. It acknowledges some good ideas, notably "the delight that a human being ought to feel at watching another member of our species doing things superbly well." Rec

First I'll speak of property in general, not just intellectual property. Property is for the benefit of its owner. Roughly speaking, you own something if you produce it yourself or acquire it in rightful trade from its previous owner. Soci

I don't see the cause for ridicule here. Putting aside the medieval connotations, a guild is simply a mechanism for sharing trade secrets among a select few. Trade secrets are very effective ways of protecting intellectual property. They

Some people argue that owners of certain plants should be allowed to sell their property, but only on the condition that they give a portion of the proceeds to other individuals who demand it by threat of force.
