This is in most cases not a hedge. In these situations people usually divest stock and invest in precious metals and AAA bonds, a "flight to safety". ...

That's a debt equity swap which is common for start ups and scale ups.

Do they own the stock or is it non—issued stock? I can't find anything in their website because for some reason that's blocked. In any case, they coul...

Thank you for obsessing about me. :heart:

Where's the insult? I didn't call you anything, I said you act like a denigrating asshole and then apparently feel it's necessary to whine about it wh...

Well, I found some time to look up the contract with the EU. https://globalnews.ca/news/7607304/eu-astrazeneca-contract-vaccine/ (there's a link at th...

It's not a loan it's like one, which I just used to describe a specific aspect of the relationship between the company and investors. I call it perpet...

Cheap reply that. That was in respect to the theory that numbers are embedded in nature. I know enough to point out your earlier statement doesn't nec...

market cap only reflects the expected performance of investors. That in itself doesn't affect Gamestop's performance. Look at it this way, when a comp...

Except your conclusion doesn't follow from what I said. We can choose what we call the result of 1+1 but we can't change what it is in fact trying to ...

Without knowing what's in both contracts there's no way of knowing who is in the right here.
January 29, 2021 at 20:14
the short answers are no, no and no. The market price of a stock in no way changes the capital of a company and therefore has no effect on its solvenc...

It shows which companies have what short position in what stock above a certain threshold. So it doesn't directly show net short but you can probably ...

Short positions of certain sizes have to be reported to the competent authorities in EU. Don't know about the US: https://www.afm.nl/en/professionals/...

Yes, that is correct, the alternative was asking even more margin (above 100%) but that has the risk of causing a fire sale because it quickly reduces...

Yes, sorry, language thing. In Dutch borrowing = lenen and lending = uitlenen. I still get them confused at times.
January 29, 2021 at 12:45
Requiring cash on hand or 100% margin for a volatile stock is entirely reasonable and banks and brokers can freely set these margin levels as they see...
January 29, 2021 at 12:17
I don't get your conclusion based on what I said. Why don't you walk me through the argument? You know, legitimise your reaction.
January 29, 2021 at 06:52
Actually the jury is out on that. The names we give to numbers are ours but even without names nature doesn't change in such a way that I can ever add...

some people will do the choosing as others will do the suffering. Aka, the capitalist and government versus the worker and tax player.

Clearly you're an idiot who doesn't speak English.

You've been talking race, in response to a point I made about discriminating based on skin colour while simultaneously accepting there is nothing real...
January 27, 2021 at 21:02
also, maybe stop equating skin colour with race, racist.

This is a complete non sequitur as you conveniently ignore the point Why we're discriminating matters. It's why I don't drink bleach but do drink scot...

It's not a philosophical or economical discussion. It's raw politics. And what currently is happening has about 20% to do with MMT. See this fine arti...
January 27, 2021 at 19:31
You're operating under the moronic assumption that every discrimination on the basis of skin colour is wrong. It isn't. Doctors discriminate on the ba...

ah, the affirmative action is racism canard. Or worse, the correcting of injustice is injustice itself! Racist much? Come on, trot out your "I don't s...

You're moving from jaw width to facial width-to-height ratio.
January 22, 2021 at 14:53
Such as jaw width being related to level of aggressiveness.
January 22, 2021 at 14:34
I know. And Peterson concludes things from it that do not follow from the study.
January 22, 2021 at 14:33
Studies support women changing preferences in how men look. The link between jaw width and aggression is totally spurious. That's driven by the fact w...

I didn't say it was a shoe in, I'm saying it's not Biden that won the election. Other people did it for him. It's the Squad chosing not to make waves,...

Biden did shit except show up and not stumble. It's people like Stacey Abrams that won this election for him.

Maybe that straw that broke the camel's back? Or perhaps he's thinking "job done" after all the court stuffing they managed?

It's just a flu. Your data is false because the numbers are inflated. You're a fool to believe the CDC and fake news media. The WHO is bought and paid...
