Buffett’s a baller.

Is this you Prem? ;D

The 1st reviewer on Amazon had some interesting things to say about the book. One of the comments was about nanobots being used in humans. I recently finished a scifi series “the Old Mans War” by John Scalzi, in which he presents bio engineered humans with nanoblood, which could handle a lot of things from viruses to enhanced protection of traumatic wound sites. The story includes a lot of other fantastic, seemingly impossible now, ideas. It’s a really fun series to read. I just bought “Singularity” as it seems like it will be a fun read and possibly useful.

Because it can't be leveraged 50x with options forcing a gamma squeeze. I'm just showing off my YOLOtard options knowledge ;) and reinforcing why I'm going to largely stick with straight equity purchases.

This book was mentioned in a Brooklyn Investor blog post recently. Has anyone read it? It's only $4.99 today. "I still recommend the same old books for investors, like Security Analysis, but the book that may have had the most impact on me in terms of investing in more recent years might be The Singularity is Near. I've owned this book for years but only read it in the past few years. This really explains what is happening in the tech world. When I read this, I immediately understood what is going to happen to a lot of businesses, so it helped me stay away from them, and made me appreciate the 'winner-take-all' businesses. The moat in this century is very different than the moat that Buffett talks about. Well, Buffett never restricted his definition of moats to old-world businesses." www.amazon.com/Singularity-Near-Humans-Transcend-Biology-ebook/dp/B000QCSA7C/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=singularity&qid=1611091791&sr=8-2

I've trolled a few threads in W S B and most of the time I get no responses. I have never specifically posted a thread to troll the entire sub. There are some subs put aside for more serious stonk discussion, and W S B guys troll these with posts which I think are intended to tease / entice actual investors with their fabulous YOLO gains. The r/BerkshireHathaway mods seem to do a good job of taking down tard-posts. r/BerkshireHathaway r/ValueInvesting r/CanadianInvestor A more constructive idea might be to figure out a heavily shorted stock with a decent underlying business that could be pumped up a bit. If you see something getting shorted that you don't think deserves it, all the better. "Hey guys, this thing is getting hammered by the man, but it's really a great company..." or contrarily "Look guys, the valuation on this shite business is insane, you need to listen to the shorts." There used to be some guys here who did DRM and I'll bet they're working on this very idea. --- Bonus idea: Fairfax is languishing and owns some BB. Why not pump fake that?

NYC renters got float, but no moat. www.mpamag.com/news/new-york-city-renters-hold-more-than-1-billion-in-back-rent-243627.aspx --- This seems like a thread that should be revived.

Can't stop watching. Ever.

How could they resist the politics section? Which handles do you think they're using to post in the politics section? ??? derp

Oops, I missed that. I thought the writeup posted by jasonchin was interesting. People still go to convenience stores for purchases other than gas. A smart operator could leverage locations as the landscape changes for ICE.

Tracy Chapman has written some great stuff. Nicki Minaj's claim to fame is a freakishly large butt. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/nicki-minaj-tracy-chapman-settlement-sorry-lawsuit-1111631/

Can confirm re: Music Appreciation students. I was required to take music history, and I got a lot out of it. It provided great evolutionary context for a lot of the archaeic things we were being taught in Music Theory (Renaissance polyphony and Baroque, for instance). Our class met right before the music appreciation guys and a lot of them seemed to think they were going to sit around and gab while listening to mp3s. Surprise, you get a dumbed down version of music history. One of the many things I learned about higher education is, there are no easy courses. Many students may find some subject matter "easy" to comprehend, but there will always be work involved. If there's no work involved, the instructor needs to be fired. The purpose of higher education is: to learn new material, to learn how to work, to learn how to separate fact from fiction. edit: I haven't read this book, but definitely agree with the concept.

Confined in f minor. Very nice vocal melody on top of a simple V7-i harmony with a brief IV-i and then a V7-i cadence. There are better musicians, on here, who can correct my quick harmonic analysis. Is she planning on becoming a music major? It will certainly give direction to a young life.

One coup attempt a week is enough ;)

Seems to me that money supply would be a reaction to inflation. Tight labor, plus supplies of desirable products not meeting demand = higher prices. More money is needed to support the increased value cost of everything. There's no problem with supplies of most commoditized inputs, and no shortage of labor and the ability to shop for both, worldwide. ATM, there does seem to be a shortage of finished goods in many categories (example: WalMart shelves), but that's more a result of business shut downs or limits in their operations due to the pandemic. I'm not very well versed on Fed / Treasury operations & it all seems a bit odd but I get that its purpose is to ensure clearance of payments in our system. So as long as there are no liquidity problems?

What is not plausible? And for the record, I’m not against the vaccine. I will gladly take it. I’m asking what the benefit is health wise for a low risk individual. I work from home, my wife already had it (three days of symptoms). I tested negative towards the end of her 14 day quarantine and I quarantined for an additional 14 days. Didn’t bother getting tested again. I’m young and healthy. Seems selfish to take the vaccine when it’s in scarce supply. But I guess to the “bUh mY OuTDOOr COncERt” crowd; I’m the selfish one? My wife is a nurse. If I go get tested for covid and test positive she has to quarantine. If I get the flu and test negative for covid, she has to quarantine. If I get the vaccine and experience symptoms of covid, she has to quarantine. If I get covid, have symptoms, and self isolate away from her....she still has to quarantine. If I get covid and have no symptoms she doesn’t have to quarantine because it’s unknown if I have it. If I get the vaccine and don’t get covid symptoms I could still spread it and be contagious. (Per CDC) Effectively she has to quarantine for everything and the vaccine provides no benefit to me or her (if I take). I simply take a dose from someone else when the vaccine is in short supply. Just stop while you're not too far behind. Behind on what? Do explain. Living up to your username. George was frequently obtuse as well. What did I say that was wrong? If you’re young and healthy you are very unlikely to experience any adverse symptoms. The vaccine is in limited supply. The vaccine does not prevent you from carrying covid, nor does it prevent you from being contagious and spreading covid. So far from what I’ve read, there is no additional benefit to getting the vaccine for individuals who have already contracted covid and gotten over it (unknown for me). Longterm studies on vaccine: none Longterm studies on covid: none Is there any significant health benefit for young healthy individuals from the vaccine to warrant getting it before high risk individuals? As it stands if I get covid the worst I’m am likely to experience is bad flu like symptoms for 14 days max. For me personally, it’s easy enough to self quarantine if I get it. Why would I want to take a rushed to market vaccine if I am extremely low risk? If weighing current risk vs current reward is obtuse.....well, I guess I’m obtuse. confirmed
