I am quite surprised that the generational gaps are as small as they are

It's very odd that Match Day alone posts a not loss.

Inflation trending down. Bears are gay. Stocks always go up. I can not count past 30.

The last time this did NOT happen was followed by a recession.
Completely spurious relationship.

Reply to USA Inflation v. Gold [OC] by rosetechnology
Unless you also put a major Stock index into the graph this is extremely misleading. Yes investing in gold will outpace inflation, but there are so many other investment options that have done much much better

That's a fair point, but in practice we only have 2 parties and each one coalesce behind "their guy" and whatever party has more Representatives gets their guy.

I think that this story has gotten an incredibly outsized amount of media attention. A congressional formality took an extra week than normal to get done. At the end of the day, that was about all that happened.

At first I noticed the obvious - Soldiers in the northern army were generally from the north; obvious.
Second glance - Look how important Lincoln's decision to allow northern border states to continue slavery in exchange for remaining in the Union was.

Reply to ELI5: If a company is public and a person owns 75% of the shares, can they be kicked out/fired by other board members? by OrdinarilyAliveHuman
Technically, but almost always (if not 100% of the time) the person with 75% of the shares will also have >50% of the board seats and that would never happen.

He has other investors who went along with him, but since they joined him, they presumably agree with what he's doing

His co-investors will be the other board members, and presumably they agree with him or else they would not have joined the venture.

Oh you're probably right. Its incremental potential revenue

It looks like you are not considering ad revenue from un-paid non "verified" active users which would still presumably be the main income stream.

Since 1978 my investment has gone 10X while CEO pay has gone up 14X. A 40% difference.

That's kinda the point. When I invest, I WANT my investment to passively rise and you to have an incentive to work to provide me that growth.

Reply to Can anyone provide an honest reason to be bullish right now? by [deleted]
The fact that the majority of WSB is bearish is by far the most reason I have to be optimistic. Fuck your puts. The market is already down. You fuckers are late to the game and deserve to lose your shirts.
