Think of a market maker as a used car dealer. Alice has a car that she wants to sell today and Bob wants to buy a car, but he won't be ready to until next week. The dealer will buy Alice's car today and hold it until Bob wants to

Isn't the SE $400/500 for the same storage of the iPod Touch at $200/300? If you don't need cellular $200 seems like a big price to pay for the upgrades.

I agree. I understand paying remote workers less than someone on site since there may be productivity gains that come from that. However, remote is remote. Once someone is a remote employee it should make no difference if they're in Ma

That seems backwards to me. When I lived in suburbia grocery shopping was always a "trip" 5+ min drive, find a place to park, walk through the parking lot into a large store, etc. Grabbing even one thing meant at least 15 min of o

How does anything on your list stem from owning vs renting? Presumably if you were renting - you would still garden and you or your landlord would still maintain the lawn - your landlord would still maintain the house - you would still be l

A lot of people who don't want to lie (which may not be illegal, but I wouldn't recommend it personally) will get a starter pistol. They're cheap, small, safe (don't fire rounds, just blanks) and legally have to be decla

Conversely, I am pretty much subsidized by other people's vehicles. Where are you getting that from? Car specific taxes generally don't even come close to paying for roads, especially the roads bicycles are likely to be using. I

No, you absolutely can, and I have. However many times a trick like this will have a completely unbelievable story. The point isn't to get you to believe the story, it's to distract/amuse you. Think of it like a ghost story.
