  1. I want to laugh at this, and it pisses me off that I can't.
  2. Some hedge funds are registered and regulated, and some are not. What I said was that they were getting rich in hedge funds which are not registered and regulated. We're saying the same thing differently. But that doesn't really matter. Fuck these profiteering fucking crooks.
  3. The * is important. There are tons of hedge funds that are intentionally kept below the registration and oversight threshold. That's not even really worth getting into. A lot of chicanerous shit has always happened in hedge funds. Donnie and Friends profited massively from the last two weeks, on the downswing and again on the upswing, and he created both.
  4. A nice talking point, but they're not stupid. The profiteering occurs in hedge funds, which are not registered with the SEC or subject to their oversight. Yes, it is exactly what it looks like, and no, nothing will happen to anyone. Same as it ever was.
  5. Everyone pointing and laughing at Trump right now is missing the point of the insane amount of money he and his cronies just made with this straight-up market manipulation.
  6. But it's okay, because we have two guys hitting over .250.
  7. The flat-chested Hooters waitress didn't get what she was expecting?
  8. There are no unbiased investors. I'm telling my clients what I always tell them: I'm not in the business of predicting what markets are going to do next, and I encourage them to ignore 100% of the people who do, because they're just trying to sell something. No one actually knows what's coming in the short term, ever, and you don't need to. And I gave my standard advice a couple of pages ago, with the caveat that these are unprecedented times. I would be more likely than ever to completely ignore someone who told me what's about to happen next.
  9. So stop fouling? Edit: I already said I thought the refs got too involved in the second half, but after several early fouls, Florida seemed to understand it and stop giving the refs anything to call, and Houston did not. It's also pretty interesting to hear Coog fans bitching about refs after the absolute gift they got against Duke late. It comes and it goes.
  10. Because I have an aging parent to take care of. When that's over, I'm out of here. I'm going to check out Argentina next month, and next year to Costa Rica, Panama, and Spain. And I'm learning Spanish. I will watch the final death rattle of this failed empire from somewhere else. So, I am doing something. Not as fast as I'd like, but as fast as I can.
  11. Is there a name for what's wrong with you? I don't want to laugh at a guy with an actual condition.
  12. Spoiler alert: they don't know the difference between a Republic and a Fascist State, and when they learn it in real time they won't want their Republic back anyway. I think a lot of us are waiting for these "A-ha! Oh, shit!" realizations that aren't coming. They're going to accept it all with open arms.
  13. Actual question from a client today: "I see the market's green again, so is everything okay now?" Oh you sweet summer child...
  14. I mean, there was a flurry of fouls on Florida at the start of the 2nd half, and everybody here said they were all legit. And I agreed, with one exception. Are the same people saying that the flurry of fouls on U of H later was bullshit? I thought the refs were too involved in the 2nd half, but I didn't feel like they favored either team.
  15. WTF is a conference ally? I only see conference foes.
  16. What kind of grown man has a favorite animal? And it isn't even dogs? So weird.
  17. Yeah, he seems like a massive douche rocket.
  18. And the 4 championships.
  19. Holy shit, wow
  20. And 4 championships.
  21. Oh, good hands, damn.
  22. Ha, these teams could play with 4 and beat us.
  23. Yeah, but Greenspoint said, "ballgame" when U of H was up 12. So this pretty much has to end in a tie, somehow.
  24. Y'all can say these are all fouls, and I agree except for the clear moving screen that was called a blocking foul, but this officiating is ruining the game every bit as much as calling holding on every single play in a college football game would ruin it. You have to let them play at least a little.
  25. Your hometown has never won shit, bandwagon boy.
