But we're not talking about transaction volume. And I didn't say it was a 'problem' - only that it was this situation that created an opportunity for ...

To cover a short simply means to close out your position by buying the stock you initially sold (after borrowing it). It's what all these hedge funds ...

Gonna need some stats here or this thread gets closed.

Right, but the play here - as with so many of these predatory hedge funds - was specifically to never have to cover their short positions on account o...

If someone's retirement hinges on putting people, say, Gamestop employees, out of a job, then they can die hungry and cold.

Reddit is actively discouraging people from buying silver and anyone who thinks otherwise has no idea what they are talking about.

No one's under any illusions about this being about 'saving' Gamestop or whathaveyou. Hell, scratch a company operating under modern capitalism and a ...

I think this is a bad political read of the situation. Or at least, a totalizing one that blinds itself from nuance by instituting a single, far-away ...

This language is so fucking vile, for fucks sake. 'Effected by homosexuality'? Like what, a fucking virus? Does anyone speak of being 'effected by het...

Lol it's a liberal wet dream.

This shit, this shit is gonna become more common. And it'll be done in the name of shielding from volatility and 'market stabilization' or some crap.

I think RH has a tiered system depending on your subscription fee. But they were, for a period, specifically halting any buying of GME. They're puttin...

Did you mean @"fdrake"? I didn't mention margin. But yeah, for the moment it seems they're opening up again somewhat after the furious (bi-partisan!) ...

I actually have a feeling it will be done far more subtly than this - in fact, we're already seeing how the response is shaping up. It's not to crimin...

It really wouldn't.

Just to be clear, I removed your post that suggested that homosexuality is against nature or somesuch. Do it again, and the next thing to be removed w...

I'm sorry the truth hurts your feelings. Will try to be more pc next time.

Which is why, were you able to read, I spoke of those who looked to turn this thread into the one that was deleted. So maybe save the hysterics about ...

This isn't a discussion. You want to wonder if being homosexual is a defect - any more then being a black person or a jew is a defect - you can do it ...

:chin: :zip:

I swear to God if you all turn this thread into one which was explicitly deleted by a mod I will ban the lot of you.

Shipping to Australia means that books regularly cost me that much :cry: Like, if I can get a book <AUD$35, that's a rare and good day.

Wow, I just took a quick look, I didn't realize how hard this is to find. There's a 2nd hand copy selling here for USD$250, but that's kind of ridic. ...

Commenting to show appreciation of the stellar defense of OLP put up by @"Anthony Nickles". My only bugbear is that it is called OLP at all. The name ...

No.

Sounds like an excellent department! Gnosticism seems right though.

Not all clinical psycologists are self-help authors but JP certainly is. From what I've seen though, he seems to have led a revival not so much in Nie...

I don't think JP is so much as 'viewed' at all within philosophy, let alone viewed negatively or positively. Philosophers are apt simply to ignore him...
