Even worse than it being wrong, is that by nature of the tool it looks right.

In a speculative market, which is the reality in which we both exist, share value can absolutely be divorced from a balance sheet. As you’ve pointed out, that is the case here.

So what is the speculative value to an investor? Why ISN’T it zero?

If you have a theory better than “investors believe he’ll use his position as president to increase the value of his own holdings if he wins” I’d be curious to hear it.

Maybe it’s by making presidential decisions contingent on “friendly actions” like buying shares if you’re a foreign nation or even a domestic interest. Maybe he’ll award government communication contracts.

Super interested in an alternative explanation, though.

Oh for sure. It’s effectively been a proxy for election betting since it’s inception. Investors know if he wins it’s a vehicle for people to buy his favour by adding demand pressure. As long as Trump thinks he might win, he has to keep his position.

I’m all for dunking on Trump, but you (or anyone here) should read the article.

It didn’t trigger because the price was tanking. It triggered because it was going up too fast.

It was on news of Trump saying he wasn’t going to sell.

LITERALLY 1484

No efficient way.

As a non-US person, it blows my fucking mind how frequently y’all haul out a goddamn Ouija board to channel the founding fathers on any issue. What would George Washington think about ChatGPT? Uh probably that it comes out of a box possessed by the a demon and then he’d ask if you owned a comfort girl he could borrow for the night? What a valuable exercise. Much wow.

“Address Unknown”, a twilight zone/detective noir tv show within the universe of Max Payne.

If you can see it, you’ve already downloaded it. You’re just chosing to retain it.

People hold emotionality against people differently based on gender, so yeah, I do.

The minute she starts to sound like “my bitch ex-wife” that’s going to do something visceral.

It’s not right or fair, but it is.

Yeah like the programming language

Compilation error or run time errors? One is a gift and the other is a curse.

Any language in which whitespace has syntactic value is intrinsically flawed.

Can’t speak to your specific issues, but that’s why yaml will always suck.

If you’re deploying weapons on your own territory to reduce the operational capacity of an invading force then it’s by definition defending your country.

If you have a problem w/ this you’re going to have to cycle to the next argument because this one is nonsense. NEXT.

Yeah when I showed the cop the graph of my speed before getting in my car to be 67000mph (speed of the earth around the sun) to 67080mphwhen I was driving it he couldn’t see the difference so I didn’t get the ticket.

Or sometimes choosing a common-sense reference makes sense.

Which isn’t to say THIS one does, it doesn’t, but the absolutism of “it’s nerf or nothing” is a tad extreme.

I salivate whenever I hear about these ancient mega arthropods. Like, gigantic and armoured, whatever. But by modern standards, blind and incredibly stupid. And in that atmosphere you’d be constantly so well oxygenated. I don’t know why but I’m convinced these big fucks tasted like lobster.
