  1. The problem as far as I can see it is that somehow I'm not making multiple millions in the biggest bull run in a generation and maybe of our lifetime. ugh. ,, but i will say this. I'm coming around to @Captainant and @Brisketexan way of thinking and am determined to put a very sizable bet on shorting the big high flyers of the past couple of years. Just need to figure out the profile, the timeframe, the big bet and how much of a coward I am or am not and what stomach I have to expose real money to a short play betting on a crash.
  2. The ardent capitalist doesn't change his stripes, it appears: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/bill-gates-climate-change-memo_n_6900ef03e4b0a211575dde6c
  3. looking at this....how did Vandy win?
  4. The thing about this is, while you are right, it also highlights the nature of the dynamic at play. Israel is the aggressor and the one with the power (and cue spiderman, with great power comes great responsibility we like to think). But Hamas has near zero leverage. They engage in a truce or deal, they need to be air tight and buttoned up if they want it to stand. At least that's how I think abou it. Anything less than 100% compliance can and will open up the threat to throw out the tenous peace. If that makes the ceasefire a fake one or a disingenous one, I guess we all agree. But if it is true that Hamas is playing some stupid game with the hostages, they are the ones who are poking the bear and putting the truce at risk in that instance. But I guess if the thinking is already one of a foregone conclusion of "israel is just going to blow it up anyways because they don't want the peace" then it's easy to dismiss Hamas culpability in breaking the ceasefire. But I mean, it's a tenous, thin ice cease fire to begin with, you'd think you'd be engaging with the T's & C's with kid gloves and care. I mean, I gave you my opinion. Israel obviously believed and believes differently.
  5. The crash will be spectacular. The question is how to price the put and for what time/month/year? And how ballsy and exposed I have the stomach for.
  6. I thought it was funny. I can see why you called me Helobious earlier this morning. You are validated, sir.
  7. Bill Gates, who wrote a book titled How To Avoid a Climate Disaster, released a memo asking people to tone down the doomsday rhetoric around climate change yesterday, hours before a Category 5 hurricane—supercharged by climate change—unleashed its fury on Jamaica. One of the loudest voices on the topic shifted his ideology ahead of next month’s United Nations climate summit: Gates wants the world to focus less on (but not ignore) near-term problems like rising temperatures and the increasing number of extreme weather events, and more on humanitarian efforts in developing parts of the world. The billionaire is asking those attending the summit to consider investing in climate adaptation, meaning “the areas where finance can do the most to fight poverty and boost health.”
  8. Fair enough. Thanks for answering. I don't necessarily disagree, but maybe I'm a hopeless romantic, and am wanting to see more before throwing it out as a farce.
  9. I don't actually have a fully formed point of view here which is why I'm "asking questions" and seeking input/clarity. I understand the act of engaging with questions and a seeking to understand mentality is considered "trolling in bad faith" in the internet era, but how else are we to engage? I don't think slaughtering civilians by the hundreds is ever okay.
  10. I mean the AP is reporting it now as real. And also putting some of the burden of the cease fire becoming tenous on Hamas for https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-gaza-war-dead-hostages-ceasefire-deal-80b85ee3f650fc67f28bdf83b957f9f4
  11. Do you believe the cease fire isn't real, too? Am I the only one under the guise that the cease fire was real?
  12. Even better-- I waited until there was a semi-reputable link and not the times of israel and isreael post and the jeresuleum news, etc.
  13. Bill Gates is such a turd:
  14. The 2000 era frat tuck is BACK baby!
  15. Here is what I want to say. Brian, do you, Brian Fantana believe the chicancary being reported (not very widely) about the fake hostage heist is true? Decisoning tree based off that response: if it is true, do you think that's a legitimate breach of ceasefire by the terms?
  16. Finally a single, non-partisan source (but I'm still skeptical because no AP or mainstream sources are reporting): https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/red-cross-condemns-staged-recovery-113635726.html Let's say this is accurate, then what? Sounds like Hamas was the first to breach the ceasefire terms and invite reprecussion, right?
  17. No I am literally asking because the only reporting I've seen are obviously Zionist/Pro-Israel publications and don't want to unwittingly be propagandonized here, I'm talking about "The Times of Israel" and "Israel National News" type outlets.
  18. But what if she starts owning the MAGA. Goes from heel to kayfabe. Weaponize her for our interests and to help us win. It's like signing Deoin Sanders away from SF for the the Cowboys superbowl run.
  19. Random thought that is really amazing also...I got into a rabbit hole of Charlie Sheen after his new documentary on netflix and didn't realize that Charlie Sheen had HIV. Maybe I knew but forgot. Either way, that lead me to some of his lawsuits (like not telling his partners) and apparently, someone correct me if I am wrong here, but there are vaccines or medicines you can take that has basically cured HIV. It's no longer a death sentence and people just do their thing and take their meds and they live a long, normal, healthy life. Talk about a miracle if you grew up or peaked in an era with the spectre of AIDS being the scary, killing thing that seemed to be incurable.
  20. Has it been verified that Hamas actually did keep up their end of the bargain and the fake hostage thing was misinformation? Surely Hamas wouldn't put Walter's old underwear in the money bag and botch the agreed upon exchange by doing some fake hostage tomfoolery and breaking the terms of the ceasefire and inviting a response, is my first thought, but there has been little reported about the follow up.
  21. Saw this in NYT today as far as the bubble conversation: The guys who hate stock buybacks will appreciate this:
  22. It's a good question. I personally think that when the bubble pops, there will be a rubber band snapping back to hire people for growth again at big firms, but that will be shortlived and the AI era is going to have a very disrupted employee-to-revenue ratio that will be orders of magnitude lower than was previously possible and we NEED a solution for that from a social and human being perspective asap.
  23. 14k today, another 15-16k in January. Today was everything but-AWS (Amazon proper- Jassey), in January AWS (Garman) is in play.
  24. Mamdani rules.
  25. Is this all because Israel claims Hamas faked hostages? https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c891ex72nj7t
