Re: When will indexing blow up?
I could see a future where people who start companies don't incporporate, {etc} This is quite astute. I like it. One of the difficulties that would have to be overcome is that of obtaining capital. Investors would need some mechanism to guarantee their equity allocation. That doesn't sound unsolvab...

Re: Great article on the new politics
I think the militia types were a small part of the article, more of the sizzle than the steak. You'll get no argument from me about their potential effectiveness if directly confronting the US government. The govt does not do a lot of things well, but one thing they are great at is killing you if th...

Re: When will indexing blow up?
Understood.
But, there has to be a market share inflection point, when the index funds have no underlying price discovery and things go crazy.

When will indexing blow up?
I get this free market and ramblings email from Jared Dillian, which I enjoy. Today's was about indexing being a time bomb. This is something I have thought for years. When everyone owns the index, it will no longer be a safe thing. I could not find a link so here is the actual text. Thoughts? Here ...

Thanks for the report, Vinny.

Great article on the new politics
This is a long article in Vanity Fair that is a great read. I am posting it as a placeholder so I can come back later with more thoughts. It’s more about where the right wing is headed but also about the center. The right wing is not, as Vinny wrote, what the Republican Party does or says. And a lot...

Re: The Results of 6 months of Options Trading (Covered Calls/Puts)
Doug Casey, a lifelong successful speculator, likes to trade options. He likes the small easy gains. I can’t remember which way he trades except he says he plays the role of the casino and the other parties are more the gamblers. He also says most people can’t/shouldn’t try what he does. I found a ...

Re: Ohio Disaster
Well, that video exactly illustrates my problem with Fox News. TC doesn't have anyone on record saying the things he is projecting onto the Biden administration. Yes, the administration is looking for racial equity problems everywhere. But there isn't much reason to think that someone said, hey, tha...

Re: Biden’s ‘aggressive’ use of a tax loophole he’s trying to shut down
I can’t view the article, but I’m familiar with the concept. I think your former boss was way too conservative on that. I agree. His other partner had no formulas like that for the salary / Sub S split. Were you a Sub S? If so, what was typically your split? In recently reading how health insurance...
Re: Fox News
If FNC was a church, it would be called Our Lady of Perpetual Outrage. It is unwatchable for me, and I agree with their positions. It seems like it’s designed to rile up old people, and is successful at doing just that with my parents. They have it on all the time, like it’s another utility in the ...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
I went into a big chain hospital today. No masking requirements for entry or otherwise. I gather that this is still not the case in some US states? In my part of Western Massachusetts it is always masks for anything medically related. I think that might be the only places where that is the case. No...

Re: Are you positive or negative on the future?
Here is a 6 minute video by John Stossel on the subject. It features the constantly wrong Paul Ehrlich (Population Bomb), Greta T, and a guy, Marian Tupy, who argues the other side and has written a new book, Superabundance.

Vinny, do/did you watch Big Bang Theory? No. My TV watching is fairly much confined to C-Span, the Yankees, the Celtics, Providence College basketball, MLB Network. No TV shows. The main character, Sheldon Cooper, is a lot like you describe yourself. In many ways, the more I think of it. You might ...
