@HelloShreyas @RoamResearch Roam is the only note taking app that feels both revolutionary (auto linking and organizing ideas) and easy to use. Even my kids learnt the basics fast and use it effortlessly.

What is the point of cancelling all the events and working from home if we are not closing the schools ?

[kumanan @kumanan]

@saxena_puru @csantonja right. Shorting is a bit scary due to theoritcal uncapped loss. I need to get over that fear and may be use stop loss.

@saxena_puru @csantonja Sorry if I am asking really basic questions. Where does the capital for hedging come from if you are fully invested ?

[kumanan @kumanan]

@saxena_puru @csantonja Got it. You sell to hedge. Thank you for answering my question and sharing your knowledge in general. It is very helpful for beginners.

[kumanan @kumanan]

@saxena_puru @csantonja Does this mean you keep 50% of your total capital set aside just for hedging ?

Do you get the feeling that you are getting smarter of late ?

Then it hit me. We have reached a tipping point in the age of information that we are all being upgraded at the same time.

The other possibility is regulatory attention to curb the militarization of civilian vehicles

[kumanan @kumanan]

Tesla is going to see unprecedented demand for using cyber trucks as police cars. (and in countries where law and order is weak)
