    psshhh... people have such limited perspectives. Zoom out a little you'll find the REAL upgrade in air travel is flying private. You cut travel times in half easily as you aren't treated like some combo of potential terrorist and livestock. I only got to experience this by working for...

    I was planning to, but then I'd have to pay my lawyer for that which would break the boycott. I'm stuck and don't know what to do.

    I'm convinced that tying market movements to the news is almost always a fool's errand. The media is even less trustworthy on market actions than they are on politics. Flooding your brain with irrelevant information and false causation claims doesn't help one make good decisions. I placed some...

    Pull up the chart and zoom out. It's barely noticeable on a 1 year chart, much less anything longer. So no, that's nothing close to a big dip.

    Gold is a poor long-term store of value. It is good disaster insurance. BTC is like digital gold in terms of insuring against local currency inflation, but it's also a tremendous growth asset. There is risk of it going to 0, which isn't an issue with gold.

    Building a Manufacturing Conglomerate Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    I'd say it really depends on comparing the potential investment against the current debt arrangement. If you have a good growth opportunity that will reliably yield 10x returns then by all means go for it. If it's a bureaucratic "find some place, any place to use this money" situation then...

    How does the Economy Work? Economics Unleashed: Powering Your Business and the World

    Agreed. Normal folks were held hostage, and we all paid the ransom. Unfortunately, paying ransoms without a thorough reckoning encourages more hostage taking. It's a real dilemma.

    How does the Economy Work? Economics Unleashed: Powering Your Business and the World

    I'll agree that the 2008 response was effective in terms on softening the economic blow and encouraging a quick bounce-back. But this occurred at the cost of SIGNIFICANT moral hazard, corruption, and cronyism payouts. We did not have effective reforms. The vast majority of those who got rich...

    Shoes off in my house, but I'm more puzzled by people wearing their slippers out. Not just in the yard to check the mail, but shopping and what not.

    Should I buy this Business?

    INVESTING QUESTION 
    Don't price in any growth potential. That's all potential upside, and while it may be the main reason to give it a shot, current value is based on how the business has actually been doing. And businesses absolutely can be worth less than 0. It can be a bad deal even if they're giving it away...
