Banks are not taking huge losses because a huge fraction of loans to PE work out. Imagine believing PEs are just constantly scamming banks out of their money. Yeah sure. Its just that people have this carricature of PE in their head plus we

The highest marginal wealth tax rate in Zurich is 0.47% and 0.9% in Geneva starting at 2-3mn CHF. It's not irrelevant at all If you now earn 4% on your capital and pay 0.9% wealth taxes that is like a 25% tax rate on your unrealized ga

The outcome is not as clear as you make it to be. The Norwegian wealth tax hike resulted in a loss of about $600mn of tax revenue. We will see at which point the british will end up on the laffer curve.

All my accesspoints and routers run OpenWRT. Love it. At some point I even ported OpenWRT to my unsupported tplink device. IIRC I hacked together a devicetree and made some small modifications to the tplink loader code. Funnily enough when

Sorry I meant lender. Anyway my point is that if you become a lender for a nontrivial sum of money it might sense to hedge that risk (insurance, credit risk entrustment, ...)

China owns 2.1% of the total outstanding US debt. If you include their holdings through Belgium and Luxembourg it is maybe 5%. That is something but nothing that should make you lose sleep over. Japan owns about 3.1% of the US debt as compa

Option markets are quite often more liquid than the underlying in India which is why Janestreet was able to pull that off. Retail folks use options to gamble. Apps gamify access/trading. It's really odd like that.

Hardly. Socialism is about workers/communities owning the means of production. Research labs these days are mostly funded by the public. That's just about allocation of government resources.

POSIX doesnt even define long opts. I conciously dont follow POSIX these days. The standard will adapt once enough pressure has built up as they mostly document existing things instead of innovate. So I need to apply pressure.

Shares of near-bankrupt companies have strong option-like characteristics, similar to out-of-the-money call options on the company's survival (because they are worth zero if debtors are not able to be paid off, nonzero otherwise). If y

The funniest part about Norway rising the wealth tax rate so extremly is that bow revenue from that tax drastically fell. I guess they need to read up on the Laffer curve. The second funniest thing is that a huge chunk of rich norwegiens le
