Goldfinch is doing ok. It’s a financial system—what do you expect?

One, why would you ever want more of a growth company that is shrinking 13 years in with no exit in sight. Two, you miss out on 3 years of upside relative to a 4-year grant. It’s a terrible deal, but I see why they’d want to give it.

I’d love to count profits and losses relative to the best possible outcome in hindsight rather than the difference between what was spent to obtain an asset vs. what I got for it, but generally that’s not how the IRS sees things. A loss is

Fed’s expected to raise interest rates in response, so perhaps it does.

I think you’re way off on the psychology of participants. Lots play poker. Bluffing is normal.

Nobody said anything about profits. If airbags are failing because of inadequate workmanship, people should know.

> There is no "intended" value of the Euro with respect to other currencies. This is completely false. For example, the ECB targets 1 EUR = 7.46038 DKK.

Yeah GP seems to be missing something. PhD programs at top schools are somewhat hereditary at this point. It’s so competitive and there’s too much stuff to just know how to do; spending time with a family member who’s done it before is a

The priciest part I believe is the people taking care of the monkeys. I’d wager it’s easier to send them in unmarked crates.

Above 8% is YoY. Last release was May 22 at 1% MoM adjusted, which is 12.6% annualized.

Can you quantify this?

I don’t think fully separate systems is a common goal. Rather, people are building alternatives that make different tradeoffs to the same end. e.g. a DeFi market may have global liquidity, 24/7 operations, but adds exposure to smart co

Why can’t there be more than one financial system? Isn’t diversification valuable?

It sounds like junior employees are not coming in, and some are struggling. Anecdotally I’ve seen that too. Maybe some in this company do not know what they don’t know. Is the right thing to do just to let them fail? I don’t think so. The r

State failure means loss of control over territory. Not conservatism or violence or car-centricity. It’s completely untrue to say the US is a failed state.
