every 20-30 days, i wiki some religious concept and spend a couple hours going down a theology rabbit hole

religious history and ritual is fascinating to read about, like the throne concept (cuz ancient religions have detailed concepts for every image/character/ritual:

the market is already designed structurally to make shortselling as hard as possible. Usually it's company management and/or large mutual/hedge funds squeezing shorts though so this is hilarious

I thought you'd put it all in hot chick stuff.

quote:

Shorting, or short-selling, is when an investor borrows shares and immediately sells them, hoping he or she can scoop them up later at a lower price, return them to the lender and pocket the difference. But shorting is much riskier than buying stocks, or what's known as taking a long position.

you pay a fee to someone who owns a stock you want to short to control it for a period of time

so the idea is you borrow an amount of shares, sell them, keep the money, then at some point in the future, purchase the same number of shares at a hopefully lower price, and give the shares back to the original owner

I'm a dumbass so I'm probably wrong, but I think people were shorting gamestop, but other people thought it was a good buy so they bought a bunch up, so the short sellers had to start buying up shares to cover their losses from shorting it, and price just kept going up, or something. And the price just kinda ran away towards infinity

You're betting that the stock's price goes down is the gist of it. That's all you need to know to understand it, everything else is just the movement of money and stocks behind it.

it's a 'handshake' agreement to provide stock to someone at a later date that you enter into because you believe the stock will go down. if it goes up you're hosed because you agreed to provide it someone else at X and now it's up to Y and you haven't actually purchased it yet

capitalism is such a sick hosed up joke of an economic relationship there are very lucrative ways to make money betting against everyone else in certain situations that have to be highly regulated against to prevent (because again, sick hosed up economy)

Youre "selling" shares now that you don't have and "buying" them back later when the price dropped.

IPO: might be reflective of a company’s valuation

Anything Else: it’s gambling.

man
I just made some chicken saag with basmati rice and some paratha bread from TJ's and I am fuckin' stuffed

This is probably the tastiest curry I've ever made though. Really firing on all my cooking cylinders lately.
I wonder if it was the ghee, the more aggressive salting, or holding off on the garlic until the end with the pureed spinach...

someone gives you stock. you sell it. you ahve to give it back eventually. hopefully you can buy it cheaper than what you sold it for. you keep (or eat) the difference.
