There are 5-6 million Jews in the US, that’s a small demographic any way you cut it. You could say it’s a large demographic in New York City, but I don’t think you could say that about any other part of the country. Americans as a whole (no

Also you could have sold long dated call spreads for most of the year - effectively shorting the stock with some profit to show for it. Edit: you’re also more likely to have lost money buying Tesla over the past year vs shorting it, so it

That’s not really true. The stock is flat over the past year. To be a musk investor now, you have to accept that you’re late to the party, and enjoy buying into rich valuations with a lot of hype baked in.

With such a high rate of ICO fraud, how can you blame them? They don’t want to be held liable in the numerous lawsuits that are to come. They also shouldn’t be burdened with doing due diligence for every ICO to dertermine if they might be a

The amount of cash they have now isn’t comparable to what they had when Steve was alive. They have huge takeover money now. I think they’re saving it for a rainy day ie the next crash. Current valuations are historically very high, and it w

I can assure you that most robinhood users don’t have the slightest idea of what trade routing means. Also, I doubt there are many accounts placing big enough trades routinely for routing to have a material impact.

They sell to Bain because it’s easy, makes the shareholders happy, and the board and executives get rich from it. And to your second question, an interesting read from the FT https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.ft.com

Saying they turn companies around is being generous. They typically don’t buy companies that are in the dumps, they buy companies that are humming along and might have room for improvement, cut expenses by firing employees, raise debt, and

Hopefully someone will buy at least the name out of bankruptcy and rejuvenate the company. There is definitely value to be had, we haven’t seen the last of ToysRUs.

That's interesting. I just heard about a guy who is in the returns auction business where he'll take all your returns and then get rid of them without you ever having to get involved, then you get a cut after he sells the product.
