Re: Stock scream room
Say a company has a net worth (market cap?) of 100 million. 100 owners (shareholders) each with a million dollar share. The company spends 50 million cash savings to buy out half the owners/shareholders. Now the company's net worth is 50 million? There are now 50 owners/shareholders, each share stil...

Re: My Permanent Portfolio Variant

Re: Making Sense of the Never-Ending, Never-Availing Trump Investigation
I wonder if Libertarians had overly strict parents. Might explain why the mere existence of police/authority offends them
Still, I think we would have a utopia if everyone were Libertarian. Many folks just have no interest in philosophy.
