Very perplexing behavior from Musk, I must say. Bitcoin's energy consumption has been front-and-center for a few years now and even more so when the bull market got hot. How does Musk decide to throw $1.5 billion worth of Tesla's

I know virtually nothing about real estate and this question might seem dumb. I hear people are paying in the excess of $100K over asking prices on homes in some areas. Are these exuberantly high prices offsetting low interest rates for buy

Are you saying that these insane leveraged trades won't be happening if elected officials are compensated more? That is a preposterous assumption! You're right, trading isn't the issue. Greed and abuse of power are, however.

I find it funny that we only talk about blanket bans and increased regulation when the poor start accumulating wealth. We saw this when GME was going through the roof and Lee Cooperman went live on CNN to bash retail investors. Similarly, w
