Some have misinterpreted my thoughts on tariffs. I am totally supportive of President @realDonaldTrump using tariffs to eliminate tariffs and unfair trading practices of our trading partners, and to induce more investment and manufacturing in our country.

I am advocating for a 30, 60, or 90- day pause before the tariffs are implemented tomorrow to enable negotiations to be completed without a major global economic disruption that will harm the most vulnerable companies and citizens of our country.

If a country does not negotiate in good faith, then @realDonaldTrump can bring the hammer down, but doing so without giving time to make deals creates unnecessary harm.

I welcome the counterpoint.

@BillAckman Assuming I am an investor in PSH, how should I interpret any potential conflicts of interest arising from the existence of two distinct entities operating with seemingly similar investment strategies( simple, predictable, cash flow generative, dominant companies) Thank you.

Slowly and then all at once... @BlackRock recommending up to a 2% Bitcoin allocation is massive. The world's largest asset manager now sees $BTC alongside tech giants like Apple and Tesla. Institutions are here.

So long as someone agrees with you, you aren't likely to detect his or her weakness of reasoning, (in less polite words, to realize that he is an idiot).

This is Lebanon.

A most beautiful country.

MicroStrategy is powered by its #Bitcoin treasury operations. We sell volatility through our ATM offerings, strip BTC risk, volatility, and performance from our fixed-income securities, and transfer that performance to our $MSTR equity holders.

VERBALISM
I am tired of the selective use of "human rights" while abetting, financing, and supporting Genocide, Apartheid, Dispossesion, Ethnic Cleansing, Terrorism, etc.
"Violation of Human Rights" = "Regime not friendly to NATO".

This *is* what science looks like right now.

Does this sound like real science? Even at a passing level? Just see. Read it.

“People studying misinformation lean left for two reasons:”

Extraordinary claim. Supported by….? I mean…Huge if true! I would have thought there would be complicated effects of political economy in science funding as well. But there is no discussion of any such effects.

It’s just two causes. Who knew.

“1. scientists lean left, regardless of specialty, because they care about facts.”

I mean….damn. I don’t even understand the argument. It feels like “because” is doing all the work here.

No discussion of history (e.g. The Mansfield Amendment), incentive structures, institutional dependence. Just a bald assertion known as an appeal to authority. The author is a professor, after all.
.
“2. misinformation today primarily comes from the Right ("they're eating the dawwwgs!") which makes it worth studying and fighting against for people leaning left.”

Appeal to ridicule. Strawmanning. Yes, Donald Trump is no scientist.

But the Institutional Left has been wrong all over the place, no? On sex, heritability, public health, viral origins, migration externalities, and prediction of elections via failure to adjust for preference falsification at scale.

What is this? I don’t know. It’s not the science you grew up witb that changed everything and illuminated the world.

My point is not to vilify Dr LeCun. It is to point out what institutional science NOW looks like. It used to look totally different.

But in 2024, it looks like exactly like this.

[Howard Marks @HowardMarksBook]

Professor Elroy Dimson said, “Risk means more things can happen than will happen.” For each event in #economics, if only one predictable thing could happen, there would be no uncertainty or risk. But as we know in life and in #investing, uncertainty and risk are inescapable. –HM
