The downside to having an illiquid portfolio is that you underperform on down days because all of your positions are shitcos that everyone is desperate to sell for any reason
@literaryeric I think that’s probably true for soccer and baseball but it’s less true for sports where an extra large size is key (football and basketball).
You need the kid to be close to full adult height to really know if they have the genetic potential for pro, usually by age 14-15
@CoachDrewScott Especially this early in an FO turnover, FOs will sometimes fall into a “not my guy” trap. It has its positives and negatives, and probably some initial trades will be objectively questionable
@CoachDrewScott It’s tricky. I don’t think you can untie the development wins with the trade/draft strategy. I can see the individual mistakes and see where you’re coming from though
@CoachDrewScott FWIW I think a lot of the depth chart ordering issues you gripe with is partially caused by the fact that the nats have had very good injury luck, especially on the position player side
@unfixed_income@eriksen_tim@leevalueroach But if you got a commission check after doing the difficult process of convincing a customer to buy a GEHC MRI machine, you’re more or less free to spend it - the cash is not really encumbered
@unfixed_income@eriksen_tim@leevalueroach Commissions at milestones is in the spirit of “get paid as the work is completed.” You can’t recognize it because 1) the final product hasn’t been delivered, and 2) the customer can downsize/cancel orders, at which point your commission gets clawed back.
