What used to happen before there were poison pills, was a corporate raider would say "I want to buy this company, and I offer 100$ per share. If not everybody agrees to sell to me, but I get more the 50% of shares I will replace the bo

This thread was not about deductions, but about the government pre-filling your tax-returns with data it already has about you. Parent was implying that does not exist in Germany, which isn't true. Or are you actually saying that the g

Nah, every bad thing a company does is securities fraud. With regards to this, this quote is more relevant. Maddeningly, people continue to think that it is somehow illegal insider trading? “You bought a thing without telling anyone, and

Stock purchases are settled after 2 days. If the buyer goes broke before that, the seller would be left holding to bag. To mitigate this risk you need to post collateral.

So this might be the place to ask this. The list of articles by Matt Levine on Bloomberg has button at the end that loads 20 older articles, when you click on it. Now since Matt is on parental leave I want to read some older articles, let&#

Exactly. That's why I was reading the article. But it is only about the business model.

Well... that is certainly correct in 99.99% of cases. But does it really apply when you write a "Do Nothing Script"(!) with the intention of automating the steps later? If you follow the "rules" to the end you just end u

Wow. My first downvoted comment ever. I don't really understand why? Just because it mentions Trump? The comment is neither pro nor anti Trump. I just try to understand, why this is a move in the trade war by China. Judging from the to

I'm with peteradio, I also never understand this line of reasoning. Let's say the company has earned 1,000$ and the tax rate is 50%. Your expenses X are 100$. So 1,000$ - 100$ = 900$. Of which 50% (450$) are tax and 50% (450$) are

Since there is a lot of discussion about alternative solutions to the keyword lookup problem I was wondering, why Tries were not mentioned yet. Since the current implementation has to do a string compare after the hash, wouldn't a Trie
