Of course, but that doesn’t mean Apple’s stock would be declining without the buybacks.

Actually all harassment is a crime in the US. Just insulting people and saying lewd things isn’t harassment, though.

The parent isn’t discounting male on male crime, in fact quite the opposite. He was responding to a comment about maybe men need more protection than women. So your analogy to the police discounting black on black crime isn’t correct.

Apple’s P/E has been pretty stable since 2008. Moreover, the average P/E of the S&P has been higher than Apple’s over this period as well. Apple hasn’t been a growth company (in Wall St’s eyes at least) for a long time.

Why should the stock price be declining? Also companies do buybacks when the stock is cheap, not exepensive.

I used to write pretty complex 2d games in RPL on my HP-50g in high school and man, the density of the code was absolutely amazing. For some reason that I can't quite explain, using a stack based system can produce shorter code than an

Veblen goods (which you good argue an iPhone is) are very sticky and very profitable. To say that veblen goods shouldn't exist is kind of missing the point.

What is exactly wrong with share buybacks? Clearly they have more capital than they can deploy effectively right now, so they plan for the future by putting some powder in their gun. Share buybacks serve three main purposes: 1) increase the

Of course, but also quarterly reports help you predict the future.

I wasn't aware technology had progressed so far that retail consumers have access to this kind of software for live video. I would be very interested in what kinds of software these people are using.

I stopped after that. Is Super 30 supposed to be like the Avengers or something?

Helicopter rides aren’t that expensive. Uber Copter offers rides starting at like $200. Also, if you want something safe, you can pay for it. If you don’t want to pay, accept the consequences. Nothing wrong with giving people choices.

They have an excess return compared to the S&P 500 of 200% in the last five years. That’s hardly ten years ago, and the story for Domino’s is still very strong. There’s tons of market share left to eat up and many international opportun

Dominos has out performed the S&P 500 by like 200% in 5 years. In the last year it returned -2%, so that’s not good, but still a positive story overall.

I mean, they’re not terrible. I think I prefer them to other Pizza chains. And they have a dope app.

What's the notional value of all negative nominal yield bonds? Surely it can't be that much? Though, if you expect rates to go ever lower, I guess you could argue that a negative nominal yield bond could be a good investment.

Why is that weird? Having money allows you to loan the money to people that don't have it, and they're gonna pay you for the privileged. Or, in another words, money you get today is worth more than money you get tomorrow. Both of

Holding cash almost always has a pretty bad negative rate, i.e inflation. Real rates of bonds might be negative, but they should always be bigger than inflation.

Variable rate mortgages still are a thing. And it's not like there's anything really wrong with them. You are getting a better rate (compared to the newly issued fixed rates), but also getting some rate exposure over the duration

It's called "short selling" because you sold it, and no longer own it. Also, in economics and finance, the term "investment" almost always refers to an asset in which you have long exposure.

There are euro hedged S&P 500 ETFs. One of them is this: https://us.spindices.com/indices/equity/sp-500-eur-hdg But, if I may ask. What is the specific reason you don't want currency risk? The dollar has

Is there any reason why you want exposure to Europe in the first place? Maybe you just want American equity exposure without the currency risk? If so, you might be interested in ETFs that attempt to track the S&P 500 EUR Hedged Index. O

Why is he talking about subscription software being illegal while also talking about how Adobe sucks? If he was happy with his subscription, I doubt he would have written this post. Yet, being happy with a subscription has a little to do on

That doesn't sound super unreasonable to me. Imagine if Amazon suddenly was a different company with a different name, holding everything else the same. How would this affect cashflows and sales? The difference in sales between this hy

Why would you think that your comment is relevant to their sales going up 20%? Maybe they would have gone up more if they didn't have a counterfeiting problem, or maybe they would have gone up less, I dunno. But fundamentally sales goi

Why would you expect it to go up? The market was already pricing in the expected sales and clearly the number in the spreadsheets before the second quarter report was higher than the real actualized value that was released.

They have minute data and a bunch of free fundamentals for US markets going back to 2002. If you want to trade equities, they should have everything you need. And if they don't, you can buy proprietary datasets for a reasonable price,
