The collateral limit getting triggered isn’t a particularly big deal: it just means that MSTR needs to quickly furnish more BTC as collateral or they’ll be in breach of loan covenants. But they HAVE a ton of BTC, so there’s no effect on the

Start sleeping more, eating healthier, exercising more, and working less. Cut down on weed and alcohol if you partake. This should hopefully help you feel well enough to get a different job which will be less stressful and pay better. Good

Thanks for your input. A couple follow-up questions though. Why would the price on the low valued puts go way up though? Is it now, after the squeeze, MORE likely that GME goes bankrupt? And even Hertz, which is _literally bankrupt_ is stil

If you really think through the implications of every individual in America owning a pony, it gets a lot more interesting than that! It means that everyone in every city would own a pony -- would that mean that perhaps a proxy ownership sit

The thing is, everyone _could_ get a pony, if we decided that doing so was a priority. Ponies cost about $1000. If it mattered enough, the US government could ABSOLUTELY afford $330 billion to get everyone a pony. It's not that tremend

Although I think you're trying to use these examples to highlight that regulation can indeed be valuable (and to insinuate that such an idea should be obvious to anyone), I think that even these examples have subtlety. See the followin

Thanks for clarifying that here -- it took some close reading to understand that. With an otherwise nicely detailed account, the mislabelling of the axes is jarring. I would definitely expect a positive number to correlate to more sleep dep
