That is not completely true, options a by-and-large used for hedging purposes to mitigate losses in the event something goes wrong with your principal. Of course, there will also be long plays in options, but that is not the majority.

This is evident from the fact that there is generally higher implied volatility for puts rather than calls, which implies more contracts on the put side than on the call side. That would not be the case in any other zero-sum investment - say, forex. Also generally the stock market is by nature a long market so the options market should have been long-heavy.

The reason for this is because the options market is saturated with huge portfolio holders are using it merely to hedge against their long investments.
Watching it for about 15 minutes so far, Munro is horrid at interviewing. He has Elon sitting there willing to answer questions, talk technical and Munro keeps talking instead of asking questions and letting Elon talk. Kinda annoying.

Also bugs me that Elon essentially complimented Munro in saying that he felt Munro's criticisms of the model 3 early on were accurate, and Munro just rolls past it without as much as acknowledging it really. Probably just my own issue about that, but when someone recognizes your opinion it is good to acknowledge it with them and be gracious or at least not ignore it.

Freecodecamp Is Building a Data Science Curriculum with Advanced Maths and ML
I'm transitioning our small telecom business to LibreOffice. Not sure if that is representative at all. MS Office subscription model makes little sense for us. LibreOffice works well, and I am happy to see predominantly ODTs and ODSs now in the internal circulation. Files in external correspondence still have to be MS Office.

Having a full stable office suite like LibreOffice was probably the final reason I've switched to FreeBSD on my desktop, and haven't looked back.
This might be the best insight on the page, tbh. Too much risk aversion is only marginally less bad than too little.

> They will hire fewer workers..

Why isn't Amazon hiring fewer workers right now? Is the board wasting money on workers that it doesn't need? If Amazon could hit the shipping volumes it needs to hit with 50% of the current workforce, then it would be hiring ~50% of the current workforce -- if that's not the case, then somebody in the company that's making hiring decisions needs to be fired.

> Price controls don't work to increase net welfare.

A) no one is talking about price controls on final products, they're talking about price increases on one of the inputs.

B) on the subject of wages and worker prices, minimum wage increases have been shown on multiple occasions to increase net welfare. We can debate the theory, but we can also just look at reality and say, "we've tried this before, and when handled correctly, it works."

> Prices are a collectively generated signal produced from a complex network of interlocking exchanges that are based on a vast array of localized calculations.

I would be on board with your argument if the original comment starting this thread didn't boil down to "costs go up, prices go up". You're not talking about a complex signal at that point, you're talking about basic economic principles, and basic economic principles is that in Capitalism, price is what people will pay, not what a product costs to produce.

Even your N95 example shows this point. Why did prices go up for N95 masks? Not primarily because of costs of production, primarily because demand changed. The basic principle economic principle is demand, not costs of production.

If you want to step away from those basic principles and talk about the complicated realities of what people will invest, and how safe they feel, and the size of the payout influencing investment enthusiasm, and so on -- then fine, that's reasonable, but the complicated reality is also that economic experts have looked at minimum wage increases, weighed up all of the complicated inputs that go into final product prices, and regularly concluded in multiple studies that minimum wages don't consistently increase prices or decrease market investment.

> It's entirely possible for price controls to still create losses while the market is not perfectly competitive.

Possible, but definitely not guaranteed.

> but it's nowhere as simple as "the economy doesn't conform to a simplistic model therefore a price floor is good".

Agreed, but "the economy doesn't conform to a simplistic model therefore a price floor is good" is much closer to reality than saying "the economy does conform to simplistic models, therefore a price floor is always bad." You're arguing that the simplistic model isn't applicable, in a thread that was started with you arguing that the simple model was that price and material/wage costs would always move in the same direction. That's just not true, it's both an oversimplification and just bad economic theory.

BlackBerry did try to build a touchscreen phone, the Storm, and it was a disaster. Had less features than the original iPhone, no apps and launched right after the iPhone 3G and the App Store.

Tech-wise they were at least two years behind. The App Store and the iOS API would further widen the gap as it was easy to develop on iPhone (I remember high school kids getting their apps on the store) while blackberry still didn't have a stable and consistent API across it's heavily fragmented lineup.
If you look at the website, it's not the mere fact that it's against unions that is disturbing. That's an ideological point of view that doesn't strike me as unusual. In fact, it's pretty rational to be anti-union if you are among those who stand to profit from that, just like people who can profit from unions will naturally be interested in one and will align most of their ideology with that.

It's the sheer cynicism, condescension, accidental self-parody, and other design choices of that website that make me wonder about the people behind it. It's a postmodern cocktail of horror. Nowhere do they make a good faith attempt to lay out solid anti-union arguments.

The "fastest" way of losing money - which the author says is trading options, is naive. Even with a margin account, your purchasing power is 4:1, at best! Now - if you have _enough_ money, you can write uncovered(aka 'naked') option contracts and open the possibility of unlimited losses at least, but that won't afford you any more leverage.

IMHO...that "fastest" method to lose money(in the markets) is the commodity futures market. You get 200:1 leverage there, almost no rules, and it's open 23 hours a day, 6 days a week. The securities market and derivatives within are small fish by comparison. If commodity futures don't scratch your itch for losing(or gaining) money very quickly, you can also trade forex with similar leverage. Both of these market types make securities and options look like the kiddie track at the go-kart park.

As a smart but not necessarily brilliant teenager getting on the web in mid-late 90s- Maybe Christmas 1996 I- well my family really- got a computer that could get on the internet, search engines were mediocre at best. I did have a family friend come over who was an old hand at the internet and knew all the tricks of the day- using operators like AND, OR, NEAR, NOT etc- and he was able to yield much higher quality results, but I was personally never able to replicate his abilities.

Google and Pagerank changed all that, but up until then, it was all very tricky and each search engine had its niche- Yahoo with its directory, Ask Jeeves had a user friendly interface, lycos and altavista had some niches of their own as well that I can't quite recall- or maybe they just each had brief shining moments in the sun. At one point I had desktop software that was a meta crawler that would enter a query into each one. The full text searches on keywords that may or may not really be relevant to what you wanted were really not all that good.

That's one reason I still consider Bush II to have been a worse president than Trump and probably the worst president of the last 100 years (at least). Trump was far more of a clown, but Bush II did more damage. Trump also would never have happened were it not for Bush II.

Bush set fire to America in order to set fire to a trillion dollars in Iraq and accomplish nothing (except indirectly creating ISIS). It's just staggeringly awful, and it's embarrassing that nobody is in prison.

People who had the spare cash lying around to "buy the dip" of the March 2020 crash (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_stock_market_crash) caused by coronavirus panic and held their stocks until now have enjoyed 58% growth of their investment even when picking dumb index funds (e.g. S&P 500: 2237.40 at 23.03., current 3826.31).

Crises of this magnitude always benefit those with liquid assets / cash who can afford to buy out those who have to exit out of (financial) pressure and ride out the crisis. The 2008ff crisis was just the same - whoever bought a house at fire-sale foreclosure rates back then now has a lot of net worth.

GameStop appoints chief technology officer and two additional executive hires
Here’s my take on what happened to Robinhood this week.

The FTD rate on GME has been extreme even leading up to the massive price spike. When the price rose to $300+ these FTDs could have only increased, and started carrying some very heavy liabilities, into the billions of dollars.

If a short seller was going to get called and failed to cover, anyone who held those shares long were at risk. But actually the clearinghouse is the one who has to make the buyers whole. First, any collateral held in the clearinghouse from the short selllers would be used to cover, but it wouldn’t be nearly enough. Then funds are drawn from a collective pool, but not exactly evenly from all participants. As I understand it, the brokerages that bought the shares that FTDd would have to pay a somewhat higher proportion of the shortfall.

I think this is essentially why Robinhood got the 3am call demanding $3 billion. The risk of a hedge fund failing was a multi-billion dollar contagion about to the hit the clearinghouse. They needed to cover that risk and they hit up the brokerage who was buying the majority of the shares.

I don’t see how Robinhood itself was at any risk of default. I think they got caught up in it because their counter-party was insolvent and the clearinghouse knew it.

It wasn’t a risk of Robinhood not being able to pay for its Buy orders. If that was the case they could just shut of margin trading on GME and be done (no buying GME on margin, or using GME as collateral for other margin buys). Basically buying the mandatory “FTD insurance” on GME became prohibitively expense.

I’d love to see a public accounting of the reserve fund algorithms, and who else they asked to pony up billions of dollars that morning.

I think ultimately when the clearinghouse itself became at risk of a multi-billion dollar contagion they pumped the brakes on the stock in order to keep the hedge funds alive. The massive FTD rate is a solid indicator of clearinghouse risk. And it wasn’t Robinhood’s FTD, but they were on the other end of the trade.

I have plenty of criticism of the blockchain hype, but IBM does this for all buzzwords regardless of how useful the underlying technology is. It is all marketing to get executives at large companies to cut large checks. Once those checks are cashed they drop everyone and move on to the next buzzword.

The current buzzword is hybrid cloud. Which is awesome for IBM because most large companies already have some on-prem and cloud resources. So IBM inserts a bunch of people into existing processes and resources and claims credit for creating a hybrid cloud for their customers.

but of course, this is not an answer; it's an explanation in the style of the surreal way in which I have chosen to make sense of the larger world around me.

however, who am I to chose how to make sense of the world? who am I to say that mytholgy-engineering has anything to do with the reason for the creation lots and lots of romances set in the british pre-victorian era?

in order to be taken seriously I must provide sources, backing, it is not enough to explain my thoughts cogently. I must show other ideas that support what I say. I must acquire a reputation and then, only then, I can say whatever I want.

But how does one gather a reputation such that whatever I say will be read mindfully and not just dismissed right out when I start to make reasoning leaps all around? the most direct way is to simply repeat what other people with a reputation have said; to preach to the choir.

I have a few questions on how locates work and shorting:
-I hear that the buy side just sprays locate requests to brokers every day without necessarily having an intention to short a particular stock with that broker on that day. So brokers naturally accept the locate requests
-Fail to deliver from brokers is very common for shorted stocks from what I hear. With associated fines.
