  1. I wonder if the board will grant a waiver for Trump to sell shares
  2. Edinburgh I drove over the middle one last year
  3. That’s not business. That’s a cult
  4. People can be exhausting. It’s one thing to offer your help and support, it’s another thing to try and be a substitute for counseling, therapy, or psychiatry. It’s good to be there for others, but you have to allow the experts to help as well. Knowing where that line is important, and it’s healthy to have boundaries so people don’t abuse your good will.
  5. What’s a realistic penalty for Hush money conviction? Any jail time or just probation?
  6. I appreciate the substantive response with links and information. It's much better than the original source material from cuckoo town. To you point, there is legitimate concern about the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 that amended the Bankruptcy laws to exempt derivatives. The reason it was enacted was there were legitimate concerns that by not allowing derivatives to close out contracts, systemically important financial institutions could not cover their positions, creating a daisy chain of collateral calls, leading to the house of cards coming down. Of course on the other side of the argument, people argue the same exact safe harbors will cause systemic risk and the house of cards coming down. (I'm not going to lie, reading about how the industry lobbied for this for a long time doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies) These are fun reads. https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/10985175/AdamsSafe Harbors.pdf?sequence=3&isAllowed=y https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2419460 https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2351025 It appears Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act (Orderly Liquidation Authority) was created to address the Lehman Brothers situation so that mess never happens again. Covered Broker-Dealer Provisions under Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act I haven't had time to dig into the entitlement holder thing.
  7. No way Trump wiggles out of another one the legal system working for the rich per usual
  8. Snake Diggity was not referring to the CNBC post. Hence the confusion
  9. What law or policy are you concerned about? What about derivatives rewards the very few? Do you believe there is a concerted effort to take everyone’s money?
  10. It’s Cum Rocket aka GRHorn. He’s a cancer the mods will not excise.
  11. It appears the drug addict found the next best drug. Attention and he needs a hit so bad every week
  12. The empirical observation is there is speculation in the markets. The conspiracy theory is the central bank or cabal is doing so to subjugate humanity or steal your money. I get it. Wall Street is bad. If there is a vote for more regulation, I’d support it, but everyone is playing the same game, some are just more actively participating.
  13. The thesis is simple idiocy deep fried in conspiracy. People speculate in the derivatives and stock market. No way! I don’t know why you’re trying to gleam kernels of truth from conspiracy theories.
  14. Then they will be replaced by members that will bend the knee. Same as it ever was.
  15. I’m willing to bet that the board waives the 6 month lockup
  16. It’s pure influence peddling Jeffrey Yass is a huge TikTok investor which is why Trump probably flip flopped on banning it.
  17. It is pure anti-Fed goldbug conspiracy nonsense. The Fed wasn’t invented to confiscate gold. Central Banks are not stealing your money to control you. The derivatives market serves legitimate purposes for legitimate people. Crop producers use futures contracts to provide price security. Companies use swaps to guarantee foreign exchange rates. Do parties use derivatives as highly speculative gambling divorced from reality? Sure. The same is done with stocks.
