That canot happen if the market becomes monopolistic, with every bigtech out there buying every startup worth a penny. The erosion of anti trust in the US created this monstrosity.

You are being confused, vehicles by themselves are not limited, their category is. You can have an electric vehicle that runs at 100kph if you want, but that is not a bike, that is a motorcycle. The problem here is people having vehicles as

Solex got used much longer than post WWII, the engine is very easy to service. I had one when I was 15, and most of my friends did as well. Everyone in the village had either a "solex" or an old "mobilette".

That's really good yes, even double tapping editing does not reset the zoom level. Definitely one of the best mobile friendly site I have seen.

It's recursive as well, you now need to store how many levels of indirection of indices you had to resolve, which will in turn take 20TB to store, unless you store that in pi as well, which in turn...

That depends if you trade cash or synthetic. I think most people trade synthetic, just because it's faster and you don't have to wait for settlements, but maybe that is different if you trade onshore (I am a foreign investor). Any

Absolutely not. For RSUs companies do not purchase at exercise date, they issue new shares (or use previous buybacks). And for stock options, the employee pays the strike, so it's even a positive cash flow.

What are you talking about? You don't need to touch anything about your ETF. You just have to short a single name on the side. Also there is no liquidity issue, we're talking SP500 names here, you'll pay GC, which should be a
