A positive step, to be sure. It sounds like further study is warranted, especially once the active ingredients in kratom are isolated and concentrated. The coca leaf was used for millennia, but became socially harmful in its concentrated

I wonder how much of its effectiveness in moderating addiction comes from the fact that the active ingredients have not been isolated and available in concentrated form. Already, people seem to be studying different strains. Is it only a

Algorithmic trading is the epitome of a meritocracy. I'm highly skeptical of anyone offering a degree in algorithmic trading other than as a historical perspectives. It's an evolving field and extremely cutthroat. I would liken

There are probably a lot of young, childless professionals who can afford it now (with little additional savings) and plan to eventually sell and buy a home elsewhere. They may not be adequately diversified or prepared to stay in their hom

We've avoided a major depression so far, but our institutional knowledge only spans a couple generations. There are very few people left who lived through the Great Depression. That there is active debate regarding policies that will

When you play poker, luck will win you a hand but skill prevails in the long run. I have a feeling Bitcoin will end up similarly, where much of the value will eventually transfer from the initially lucky to the pros. It will be interestin

That's the irony of credit, plenty of it when you don't need it. It seems that the more money you have, the quality of investments that people approach you with increases too.

Baby boomers had the luxury of low housing prices, a massive stock bull market, and low education costs. There was never a better time to start a business -- overhead was low. The generation coming up now has to hit the proverbial lottery

That $1.6 billion was my back of the envelope estimate based on costs I found in the news. Apparently, there is a unnamed source quoted in the Tribune that the cost would be under $1 billion. Also, these skates are the width of an electr

If they build the tunnel at $20k/foot, the cost would roughly be $1.6B. The line will supposedly run every 30 seconds for 20 hours per day. That's 876k trips per year. If they charge $20/ride and it fits 16 people, it will

From their project page, the trip will take about 12 minutes and cost half that of a tax. So, that probably means ~$20.

The investment bank syndicate often takes on some or all of the risk of a failure to sell a new issue. Also, in the equity markets, there is a legal and regulated way for the syndicate to prop up the initial price to maintain the target s

He strikes me as the sort of person that loves confrontation. He's a raging narcissist, but he's also brilliant and highly opinionated. I find that I often disagree with him, but I appreciate his perspective. I don't much

I have long held that the ability to rationalize one's actions is the root of all evil. IMHO, this is orthogonal to religiosity.

The slippery slope argument seems to come out quickly against Socialist policies. The danger of any populist/mob revolt is the unsavory type that wins out and the tactics they use to consolidate and retain power.
