@stoked_on_waves@JDVance States are not gerrymandering, they are not arbitrary lines draw on a map. They are the fundamental entities responsible for most government within the *United States*
@DoctorOfBeasts@ClarkSquareCap GLRE’s performance has been terrible because its investment portfolio has been terrible. Insurer investment portfolios aren’t supposed to have down 20% (2018) and 30% (2015) years. But unsurprising with a guy who spent a decade shorting AMZN at the helm 😂
@LosGatosTrader@ClarkSquareCap Hi David - GLRE’s performance has been terrible because its investment portfolio has been terrible. Insurer investment portfolios aren’t supposed to have down 20% (2018) and 30% (2015) years. But unsurprising with a guy who spent a decade shorting AMZN at the helm 😂
@HedgeyeDJ years to mature), you’d have ~1.7tn / year in int exp vs population of 330mm = ~$5k / year per. It does look much worse if you use labor force vs total population though
@HedgeyeDJ I hate the ever increasing and incredibly wasteful US deficits as much as anyone, but don’t follow your math. Even if all $33tn of US debt was refi’ed at 5% (in actuality, it’s primarily fixed and the overwhelming majority was issued before the recent rate move and will take

@liensofnewyork@modestproposal1 Perhaps content’s useful life isn’t as long as you’d think… in any case, my point was that your heuristic of high P/B = ROIC is irrelevant is incorrect. I don’t have good reason to believe that NFLX’s accounting misrepresents fundamental returns, but that wasn’t my initial point
@liensofnewyork@modestproposal1 Your position now is that what's expensed should have been capitalized? If not, where did all the other investment go (if not to the balance sheet)? If it's not a capital light business (which I think we both agree this isn't), returns on capital are important
