Target shocked investors because not only did they suffer from rising costs due to inflation that they are currently subsidizing by not meaningfully raising prices but because they reported rising inventory in discretionary spending categor

The shock from the Target and Walmart earnings that caused the single largest drop since the 80s for both companies was not just the pain of inflation that is adding to their costs but also from rising inventories because consumers seem to

This is actually a good time to switch jobs because you'll be offered a compensation package with equity at relatively depressed prices.

ok? what is the point? they tipped off family but sharing in the gains. sorry i said “their own personal account” and not “their family” which they lazily used to try to hide the trading activity?

i follow the market pretty closely and executives and board members often have pre-defined sales plans that will sell shares right before earnings. not sure if it’s open to employees. personally don’t think it’s fair but it seems to be lega

i mean it’s not clear it could have been all of them. not really the point i’m making..yes it could have been done exclusively using family that the government clearly knows you’re linked to. maybe more difficult with friends.

isn’t this what they use Palantir for?

uhm it’s not even that difficult. they just see if you traded in your own account for a company you work for around earnings. i’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to do it at all but maybe dependent on the situation.

lol well yeah. but the SEC literally has to run one query that shows someone with a big gain buying stock and options before earnings and work at said company which i’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to be doing in the first place whether

I can’t understand the rationale behind blowing up your life and career in which you made $300k+/year for a tiny $1m gain split between 3 people and their families. Why are people who should otherwise be much smarter than this doing in

just because a startup is doing something payment related does not mean “direct competitor to Stripe” and one of the two I saw hooks into Stripe as part of the service. the other was doing something internationally and also was not directly

What is an example of a direct Stripe competitor that has been recently funded? I think the gist of the argument is correct though - there are a few main horses like Stripe, Airbnb, Coinbase, Instacart that get funded by a swarm of SV insid

which is why I said "zone out" was bad phrasing...
619.
by tempsy 5y ago
OP is equating zoning out with doing psychedelics. I completely disagree with that. Psychedelics don't numb and distract liked drinking alcohol. They do pretty much the exact opposite.

It's the ego crush that is the most fascinating. Most of us bury trauma deep inside and do a pretty good job automatically keeping those thoughts from resurfacing. With psychedelics it's as if you're powerless to keep those h

by tempsy 5y ago
Not sure if "zone out" is the right word - that is more akin to disassociation which is exactly what you should not do with traumatic memories eg bury them. The promise of psychedelics is to do the opposite and help you resurface

isn’t the “rigging” mostly a function of the Federal Reserve’s money printer? seems odd to argue it isn’t rigged by showing stocks always go up.

whatever the reason it’s clear they can’t handle whatever volume they are seeing right now. who would continue to use them at this point. most momentum trades are crowded - this implies any new crowded trade will have to be restricted.

I’m waiting for an explanation why Starbucks is on the restricted list. It’s not volatile.

by tempsy 6y ago
This doesn’t explain why the list of restrictions on buying expanded to 50 stocks, including low volatility stocks like Starbucks which is now limited to just 1 share.
