Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:Probably not as the preacher could have been inciting or causing a public nuisance. After all, why the hell was he filming this with a go-pro unless to bring action towards someone? Is "he was a public nuisance" an affirmative defense against assault? Would most people not believe, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the opinion of their father about one of his co-workers? Am I taking crazy pills?

That's not quite right as a description of short selling (you borrow shares and then have to return them at an agreed time, you're not racing the close of the sale or whatever), but short-position investment is very fertile schafenfreude terrain. There aren't a lot of investment vehicles where the upside is mathematically limited and the downside unlimited.

I don't disagree. Selling shares because you think you can buy them back more cheaply later is legit whether or not you have an obligation to give someone else some shares in the future.

im pooping! posted:I'm not entirely sure how you can drop into negative numbers. It's not like it can happen with anything else aside from straight up gambling. Even if cash were devalued to nothing incredibly rapidly, it's not like you would owe the government money, you'd just have no cash. I'm sorry if it's a derail, but I don't understand enough about the stock market to see schadenfreude in some guy owing over $100k because of reasons I can't comprehend. Short selling involves borrowing shares, selling them, rebuying them, and returning them to the original owner. If I borrow 100 shares of $XYZ from you and sell them for $10 each, I have $10,000 and a 100 share liability. When the short position becomes due, I have to give you back 100 shares. Those might cost me $1,000 to rebuy if my bet paid off, or they might cost me $20,000 if the shares rose to $20 in the interim. And if they went to $50, or $100, or...

chitoryu12 posted:I mean, they were lovely enough to make an album and then sell the one copy for $2 million for no good reason in the first place. Why is that lovely? Lots of artists (sculptors, painters, etc) make single-copy works that are priced at what the market will bear. "That lovely Warhol didn't make a scan of his painting available with millions of others for $9.99/mo!"?

Choco1980 posted:I like how you chose the one artist most famous for making scans of his paintings and selling them off. You're going to ruin it. chitoryu12 posted:Honestly, I can't think of any musical artist who makes such awesome music that an exclusive album by them would be worth $2 million. Worth $2M to whom? It's not like there's some objective scale. People buy very-limited-edition cars for crazy prices, and it's not because it costs millions in parts to build them. They'd rather have the car/album than the money, and the mere scarcity makes it more appealing to some people. $2M could be a week's earnings for some people, and I think there are lots of people who would spend a week's earnings on something special to them even if it weren't unique.

chitoryu12 posted:That's the kind of price that's usually for ultra-rare or one-of-a-kind collectible items, like John Lennon's personal diary from 1969 or something. This is literally a one-of-a-kind collectible item! (And unlike many other works there is a contract binding the artist from producing more copies.)

(I said earnings above, not salary, quite intentionally.)I heart bacon posted:the tax breaks more than made up for his donations People keep saying this about donations, but I've never heard of a tax regime in which donating all of a sum of money leaves you with more money than not donating it and paying part of it in tax. Can someone drop a link or something? None of the finance people I've asked seem to know of any either, but they aren't tax specialists. It would seem to be a very popular thing though, and I'd certainly like to get in on it!

Yeah, step-function things like that need small steps or stuff gets weird. I don't think any of that relates to charitable donations, though, because they don't affect gross income.
