You shouldn't short a stock on the basis of you not liking it or based on X bad business practices. You should only short it if you believe that the market will perceive it as over valued, and the valuation will go down. That's it

It's all about risk. Humans are terrible at understanding probability. There must be a threshold where it becomes ok to take on the risk (e.g. driving a car everyday for most Americans). So where is that threshold? Another way to think

Is the sound faster than the shockwave or same speed? I think same speed. Might have been a previous explosion that triggered the look before the main one.

Not to mention the psychological effects it has. Research has shown Instagrams rise strongly correlated with rise in teen suicide rates. TikTok seems worse. Only a matter of time before people realize it's like cigarettes if not worse.

I haven't read getting to yes. But I read "never split the difference" and highly recommend it (caveat the author thinks getting to yes is not the best approach).

I recently purchased a V10 (25mph max speed) for NYC. It is indeed amazing, but I don't think its accessible to most. You have to have protection gear which can be a nuisance, perhaps after you get confident you can wear less while bei

I think its because fraud justifies CC companies charging their fees - i.e. consumers want peace of mind, so they don't complain when CC takes 3-4% cut from merchants on transactions. If fraud was non existent then CC companies couldn&

A non trivial part of the economy depends on oil prices staying above a certain level. Producers and Services companies in particular. That's a lot of jobs. We are likely looking at further lay offs and mass defaults on bonds. Also pos

We’ve run ~2.9MM tests so far. I think it’s likely testing capacity will get there by mid to late may. Especially if we find cheaper and faster anti body tests (which is a huge focus right now).

While I mostly agree with #1 and #2 - not sure what this has to do with the crises we're in. The core of the current financial crisis is that demand has evaporated over the course of a week or two and / or businesses can't op

Being a part of society implies a social contract and some social control, it’s not black and white. Right now environmental impacts are not priced into many of our products (e.g. meat) and services (e.g. travel).
