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: 600 Members Coming Up

Saw it in one of the many gold bashing threads on bogleheads. I'm still not sure if a deflationary currency is good, despite thinking about it daily for years :/ "Good for whom" might be part of the answer.

Re: Question on safety of ETFs

Concerns me that the holdings of an ETF cant be sold to the market, ETFs have to rely on "Authorized participants"

I just bought a little FALN. We'll see what happens in the next panic I guess :/

Re: Trump as tragicomedy

Agreed w/ochotona but Trump pushing back against China may cause them to ask their attack dog, N Korea, to stop barking

Maybe the elites/MSM knew the NK threat was never serious, but to hoi polloi like myself ICBMs are unnerving

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.
