"Worried about a bubble? Could I interest you in a ponzi instead?"

With the direct indexing products many brokerages have rolled out lately, you can now also create your own subset, superset and/or re-weighting of an index and invest in that.

I've been visiting the Vasa every few years for 3 decades and there has never been a time when museum goers were allowed onto or into the ship. I haven't been to Stockholm since the start of the Covid pandemic but I very much doubt that has changed.

They do have some rooms on the side with mock-ups of some of the ship's quarters - maybe that is what you are remembering?

The people farming the healthy food are not a big enough voting bloc for this to happen.

Are trading blackout windows enforced in any way other than threat of dismissal? I don't think there's any external repercussions to trading during an applicable blackout, and trading on NPMI is illegal regardless of whether it is done in or out of a window.

With a mortgage, the side-lined young people who couldn't afford a house at 3.5% interest rate still can't afford the same house after a 10% price drop at 5.5% interest rate.

More than this, you can have the funds in your brokerage account backing cash-secured puts. I'm not sure if Robinhood allows their customer to write options, so that may not be the case here.

More perspective:

- A year ago 1B USDT would have been more than 5% of it's market cap.

- A year ago 1B USDC would have been 33% of it's market cap, today it is 2.5%.

A lot of stablecoin mintage has occurred over the past year.

I last had this happen 4 years ago at a pharmacy that was having network issues. But now I no longer have any cards with embossed letters so the imprinting fallback would not longer work for me. I supposed they could fill in the slip manually which seems equivalent to a card-not-present transaction but without the instant confirmation?

If you think the magnetic strip looks cool, wait until you see a credit card imprinter!

I doubt that. If you're in an ATG squat, I think your desk height would need to be below your (squatted) knee height - probably well below it. I'm about 9 cm taller than dgan and doing a quick test I think a desk height of even 17 inches (43 cm) would put my arms and shoulders in an uncomfortably raised position, so realistically I'd need the desk height to be about 5-7 inches (13-18 cm) above the surface my feet are on.

It doesn't really mean anything in layman's terms. It's a transparent lie: If one were to actually take it at face value it would imply that Tesla plowed $1.5B into a "store of value" whose liquidity they were unsure of. It would make no sense. If they wanted to test liquidity they could have quietly bought and sold just the 10% position before YOLOing in the $1.5B.

Tesla simply sold just enough BTC to book enough profit to meet quarterly EPS estimates.

Maybe they meant to say 0.4, without any qualifier - i.e. that the rate went from 0.7-0.8 to 1.1-1.2? A change from the lower end of the old range to the higher end of the new range would match the 70% increase in transmissibility.

(though that would require an increase of almost 0.5)
