i was being conservative. do not want anyone to accuse me of exaggerating the president's graft:)

I thought the speculation was TRS related, not buybacks.

They wouldn’t do buybacks near or on the close and they probably can’t buy any back for a while. I believe they can only buy 2% of shares outstanding on the NCIB over a 30 day period.

I don't think so but I don't have access to that detail.

What do you think of the new president of insurance? Seems like he is trying to decentralize insurance decision making away for the corporate office.

Was the same broker used for this trade and the ~400k trade from a few weeks ago?

Sold my NXDT position

I dont take it you've ever played sports then. Any sort of competitor should wish to beat their opponent on the field, at their best. Not whining about keeping people off the field or using technicalities to prevent competition. The rulings are the rulings, cuts both ways. The entire game of soccer is rife with inconsistencies, phonies/divas/actors, dumb rules, and sketchy behind the scenes behavior. The athletes and teams themselves should just be concerned with showing up and leaving it all out on the field.

Shorted MU again, $1000 even

This isn't helping. It's done. Leave it...enjoy the game. While you guys are babbling here about this, you are missing a beautiful game between Portugal and Spain! Cheers!

I mean the red card is political no? Not really off topic because it's a big deal for the USA vs Belgium game. I feel like the discussion still revolved around football and the FIFA rules. I mean it's hard to ignore Trump inserting himself into the World Cup. Anyways it's final. Belgium appeal has been rejected by FIFA so I think most can agree on here that it shouldn't have been a Red Card, the FIFA rules allowed the change, but it was unprecedent and Trump definitely influenced the change which most would say is a negative. Checking out till gametime! Good luck Belgium fans hope it's an entertaining match.

@Viking, sorry for the ignorant question, but if executives keep stressing that employees are under no pressure to write new business - how are they compensated? What determines if one employee receives a bigger raise / bonus than another if it's not the premiums they wrote?

Perhaps so, but everyone willingly and eagerly participated as well. Self-awareness for everyone is what is lacking. If everyone keeps it in the back of their mind...the less likely they will post about politics outside of the Politics thread. Cheers!

I’m afraid the usual suspect injected politics into it again.

Oh my God! Do you guys all have to fucking ruin every thread? This was a nice thread on the World Cup and how everyone was enjoying it...globally...sport that the whole world was enjoying...rich/poor...everyone! Then about 3 pages back this suddenly started to turn political again. Can you guys all for once just leave something good as is? Can we leave the politics out of this regardless of what politicians may or may not be doing? Cheers!

I think you’re comparing Trump’s $2.2 billion of income in 2025 to the volume of trades made by all the traders in Congress, totalling $665 million? Probably not apples to apples. Highly unlikely that the congressional trades resulted in the same volume of profit on those trades. If they made 20% profit on their trades, that would be $130 million. Trump’s grift alone is more than 15 times that.

He also keeps his head down enough so the keeper has no idea he is going to chip the ball over him. Then again, we are arguably talking about the greatest player in history...so we should not be surprised to see something like this. I'm sorry you guys did not get to see Canada at its best if Alphonso Davies played. I still think this Davies' goal is one of the greatest I've ever seen...make sure you watch the slow-motion replay after the goal to see exactly how brilliant it was: He never gives up on the play even like 20 yards away...Canada needed the goal to continue for FIFA qualifications...he scored both our goals that night. Beats the defender, picks the short side past the goalie. The touch and recognition to save the ball is what still amazes me...he turned absolutely nothing into the goal Canada needed! Cheers!

It says the FA reached out to him to see if they'd support the time change. He said no.

3x more than 535 members of congress sounds a little low. You also need to add in all the family deals around the world and the crypto scams and the pay for pardon deals etc. Probably multiple times more than all of the congress corruption over the last couple of decades.

Yeah, it deliberately makes zero sense--it's meta reasoning. Basically, if you can call people cowardly using a really silly argument for not following the rules, then I kind of think everyone should get to play that game!

LMFAO I had to read it three times and then second guessed myself for thinking English was not his first language since the context made zero sense...

High quality gotcha @Gregmal
