It is still a nice tool for projecting things (at least to visualize) where you expect the data to be on a lower dimensional hyperplane. I do agree in most cases t-SNE or UMAP are better (esp if you don’t care about distances).

But I do want to discourage vacant lots and encourage tall buildings, that’s seems the feature. We have only so much land and a large amount of people who want to live on it, increased density is the solution.

There are lots of existing wealth tax proposal, including annual taxes on all things above some exception. Realistically vast majority of wealth is held in stocks (or other ownership interest instruments), bonds (or other debt instruments),

If the exception is 10mil (as my OP suggests) then it will have no burden on middle class at all. People with nw>10mil are just not middle class. In terms of asset changes, I don’t think this is true, hard to value assets generally have

Look at sales tax only, since that’s what’s being discussed.

This is very backwards. As percentage of income poor people pay more than rich. If you want to tax über wealthy just tax wealth directly (let’s say 3% on all US citizens and residents on all things values above $10mil).

I don’t believe minus fees. The fees are generally the extra shares when it de-spacs. In fact for spacs that trade below nav they are like variable cash instruments.

They are comparing jj and astro zeneca, both use adenovirus delivery. Albeit very different variants.

It's an example of how real life pricing deviates from Black-Scholes. At the same time the pricing is correct in a sense that tail risks are greater than would be expected from a random walk.

If you didn’t claim depreciation previously then why is it depreciated?

There are bad players who know openings, but there an no good players who don’t know openings. Without opening theory you will just get worse middle game against any competent opponent. Furthermore, if you could just calculate everything ab

To be fair, lots of people colloquially claim to be good at chess but can’t even stumble though a proper opening. The difference between say a class-a player and a rando is massive and easy to tell.

Land and stock have the issue of being inversely related to interest rates and interest rates do rise with inflation.

Right, but I guess many of the people who died chose to risk rather than be stuck with a bill they cannot afford. Being allowed deferred payment is not enough.

Notice how we no longer back currency with metals. Again, hyperinflation does exist, and I did mention in my reply, liquidity crunch does not exist given current policy.
562.
by ivalm 6y ago
But why would there be liquidity crunch? March 2020 showed us QE to fund a credit backstop works wonders. Maybe inflation is the way things go south but definitely not a credit crunch.

No, you’re wrong even in this narrow sense. GME had a weekly move from $61 to $483, or 8x. $VW went $201 to $1005 (actually split over two trading weeks, in a single trading week it was $324 to $1005). So between 3 and 5x. The weed stocks a

5x squeeze for VW vs >100x for GME. Not even the right order of magnitude.

by ivalm 6y ago
GME squeeze is significantly larger in percentage points, that’s exactly my point. Nothing of this size went 100x previously. The short volume was large back when GME was $4. GME moved in 2 days as much as entire VW squeeze. It is entirely

They disabled buying because they need to put up collateral on buys, not on sells (on sells you just pledge the shares you hold). They increased collateral because if a bunch of people buy and go bust by the time settlement time hits (becau

GME went up more than %10000 (100x) in 5 months. The geometric difference between GME and some 10x stock is the same as difference between 10x and no growth .

by ivalm 6y ago
Evidently you don’t understand difference in the size of this run up? VW, the mother of short squeezes driven on unexpected Porsche purchase went from $200 to $1000, eg 5x $ACB had no short squeeze, they had some run ups, with biggest in 20

Can you point to a GME like price action of a non-penny stock ticker? Of course we both know the answer is no. Things shot up, things shot down, of course people who bought the hype lost money. There is nothing surprising here.

Because there were no offenders. DTCC raising collateral requirements on an ultravoltile stock with a high chance of price collapse is just... a reasonable thing to do?
