Why are all you Trumpies so ferociously obsessed with trans people? I feel like I could count on two hands how many I've seen in my entire life. I'm starting to realize that much of human behavior is actually inverse to itself: extreme arrogance masking insecurity, anger veiling fear, that sort of thing. Why then are some of you so fixated on trans people? Is there something you would like to share with the class @cubsfan?

In Trump world, any level of taxation is basically socialism at the same time that spending $10 trillion on defense is essential and "You better not touch my Social Security money."

Can I please see this propaganda?

Hmmm... let me meet somewhere in the middle with the Trump bunch. I personally don't like Platner and think it's kind of crazy that the Democrats are championing someone who had a totenkopf tattoo and espouses antisemitic content. Now then, is it crazy that I also don't approve of having a felon as our president? How about not supporting a man who instigated his followers into storming the U.S. Capitol building? Am I crazy for thinking that Trump blowing out budget deficits isn't good for the long-term health of our economy? Here I go trying to bang my head against the wall again.

Charles is actually doing a great job as a King. He had lots of time to prepare.

Ah the jealousy begins - we'll be sure and bring back the Biden trannies just for you next year.

If the deal was digitally signed on Sunday why are they waiting until Friday to release the details? And if they're sending JD Vance out there to fluff the media in advance without providing details, it really doesnt bode well.

Gayest event ever. Lots of half naked men. Too bad Trump didn’t take his shirt off.

Got a bid, and closed Oct'26 LQDA $20 puts sold in Feb to fund OTM calls at that time. They had ~20% premium in Feb.

Blakes just mad he fell for the oil bros propaganda

Word of advice....if you find yourself taking the opposite with just as firm of a stance you're likely just as bad of a rational thinker as the ones you're criticizing.

Has the real estate angle been discussed any where, that would interest me more. Although I don't think it worked out very well when they took that angle with ToysRus

Do you think they did the deal to help a Canadian Company? ex like how Blackberry investment likely was about saving a Canadian company (my guess)? or do you think they understand Canada better? I think there is a lot of hidden value in Andrew Peller real estate portfolio that could be unearthed with Capital that Andrew Peller could not.

One would think oil plunging would be bullish for Indian stocks. FWIW, the rupee is less of a headwind this quarter vs last and the public market portfolio has bounced a decent amount. I assume BIAL valuation will continue to accrete. I added some today too.

All I will say Fairfax often has many headscratching investments! If this wasn't in Canada, would they have bought it?

Trying to argue with Trump supporters is like deciding to slam your head repeatedly into a brick wall. The wall of course never budges, and all you get at the end is a horrible headache.

It's too bad they decided to attack us earlier this year. It's also been hard working with them considering they withdrew from the JCPOA.

Added to my position yesterday. Don't be too hard on me. Remember I'm...

I felt some real sexual tension between Donald and Dana. I'm surprised they weren't holding hands as they walked out. I even thought they might kiss there at the end.

Finally got a bunch of order fills today after trying every day for weeks. Looks like $17.72 was the lowest I got executed on so far

Good thoughts, thanks.

That's my point, there's a huge difference in tax implications. You can sell losers/duds/underperformers to raise cash while allowing winners to compound tax deferred. If you've got $10 million in a taxable investment account and want to take out $400k a year, you could be paying 37% in a high tax state just on long term capital gains, so tax loss harvesting does have value. You'd probably need a lot more than $10 million to really make this worth your time, and there are direct indexing services available, haven't really looked into them.

+ 1 But that big position had better be a life changer for the amount of risk you are taking .... and you need to be willing to add to it at a 50% decline. Gain in the multiple six digits or higher, and a 'win' that pays off the mortgage ... and then some. Make volatily your friend, and you will also make money your servant .... reducing the anxiety. The squeeze balls, not get squeezed SD
