You know, investing is supposedly complex, but it doesn't seem *that* bad.
international tradewar? short eth
dollar down? short eth
dollar up? short eth
vol up? short eth
stocks up? down? sideways?
short eth
investing in crypto? short eth
When you think about it, this might actually all be a genius move: it's hard to have international trade wars if we simply no longer have international trade. No trade balance difficulties in a world where no cargo ships across the Atlantic.
" Hm, maybe shorting Nvidia was a terrible idea apt to curse you for six generations. Well, I'm out of ideas and cash.
I guess I can scrounge this old crypto wallet for spare change, see if - - oh huh, an airdrop?
. . . Sorry, this is worth how much? "
Crypto is silly.
@robinhanson VFX gets more lifelike, costumes reach high art, sets can be built to match a vision and all that gets fancier with *technical* knowhow. But, I mean: Plots have been workshopped since first human around a fire said: “Okay, imagine if … “. There’s no way to better it with tech.
" Let's see... Lost money selling puts on vvx, lost money buying calls on xsp, lost money shorting usdjpy, lost money being long the nikkei... Down 93%.
But, looks like we're up 1223% on /this/ so once again that'll be about 14.5% on the month.
Do this another 11 times... "
Then: " Hmhm, I have some spare cash. I should probably find out how to open an investment account. It can't be impossible. and then you... I guess buy like, stocks? I wonder how that works. "
Now: " Hm, ES RV is low contra A. IV, how do I arb the uncertainty of the universe? "
( "Oh fuckit I'll just my last throw 20$ into crypto and call it a day, I don't know how to do-- how in the NAMES OF THE STARS did that make a 17483% return.
Well, okay, time to just . . . uh... transfer that out of this exchange then. " )
( " Okay *that* was a weird glitch but THIS time I'm savvy to currency risk and I'm simply going to short this obviously overvalued bond, pfh, what could go wrong huh "widow-maker trade", what a funny term, I should google tha-- OH GOD " )
(" Okay, that was a weird glitch but surely if I just account for the difference in currency pair valuation contra changes in macro-economic terms between economies I can adjust my portfolio to ensure an equal weighing in all three curren-- what the hell's a margin call? "
( " Huh, so I just like... sell puts and line goes up? How is this a difficult job--- what just happened to my account why are all my 0s in the wrong place now " )
@JonasHerby@NielsFuglsang En specifik juridisk uenig i disse specifikke sager med disse specifikke fonde er afgjort.
Da det generelt er skattemyndighederne der ligger sagerne an forventer jeg personligt at de er prøvet foran en upartisk, effektiv domstol.
Det kræver rationel regulering (og en retstat!)
@JonasHerby@NielsFuglsang ( Jeg er udelukkende minimalt sarkatisk i den her twitter samtale der ellers intet har at gøre med mig fordi en udtalelse fra en gut med “fokus på regulering” burde være lidt mere oplyst omkring relevant regulering og definitionen på noget der reguleringsmæssigt er umuligt )
@JonasHerby@NielsFuglsang ( Afgjort efter et 12 års retsforløb og hundrede advokat-timer er vel næppe en finte der var “umulig”, men netop et hul i reglementet der blev udnyttet indtil det så blev lukket. Det er angivet i links at gennemsnitlig behandlingstid for ligende sager er 5+ år per fond per sag )
