Evil Rich People

it means a lot indirectly, even if you dont own 1 stock.

i don’t necessarily disagree

my point was that for more than half of this country, market swings do little to impact how they live their daily lives

As I said in a different thread, it's a great time to invest if you have some money to invest and can wait out this dip. Lower stock prices mean higher profits once you sell them down the line. I can't retire for 15 more years so we are definitely pulling a little extra from savings accounts and buying up some stocks that are at relatively depressed levels.

that’s great that you’ve got the flexibility to do such things. i probably could/should, but have little motivation to change my standard input

i’m neither buying or selling…just sitting tight

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is hitting back at an accusation of sexual misconduct, saying a news article alleging that he propositioned a flight attendant on a private plane is false and politically motivated.

The denial comes after Insider published portions of a declaration with a woman who says Musk exposed himself to her friend and improperly touched her in 2016, when the woman's friend worked as a flight attendant on SpaceX's fleet of corporate jets.

The woman says Musk asked her friend to perform sex acts in exchange for him buying her a horse. Earlier, the flight attendant had reportedly been encouraged to learn how to give massages.

The flight attendant filed a sexual misconduct claim against Musk, and SpaceX paid her $250,000 in 2018 as part of a settlement that's bound by non-disclosure and non-disparagement clauses, Insider reported.

[ousdahl]

there's also the question of "Whether Twitter bots are being deliberately programmed to manipulate stock trading"

[KUTradition]

is a market really "free" if a billionaire can leverage spambots to help juice his stocks?

Instead of asking a buncha schmucks on here perhaps you should be asking those who were worth about $500 to their name/s and happily got aboard the Game Stop train.
Proof it doesn't take a billionaire to manipulate the market - and profit from it.

I'm still trying to figure out if the "hate" should be directed at the player/s or the game/s.

Interesting thought!

Whatever become of the gamestop Reddit bros shorting the shorting or whatever?

Qusdahl says when the players get to rig the game…nm.

In the meantime…Elon, as your attorney, I like totally advise you to keep posting shit like this

A lot of them still hold their positions. Gamestop and AMC both. Although both are down (to be expected).

I am not sure what you mean by rig the game?

Have you spent any time learning what stock buybacks are?

The SEC and the laws are about a decade behind the times. In keeping with the horse theme, not all of them have left the barn. When they do the SEC will shut that door.

It’ll work until someone figures out the next loophole.

"Billionaires have seen their total net worth soar by $3.8 trillion, or 42%, to $12.7 trillion during the pandemic. "

"The Rich get Richer" should have been the actual slogan for Trump, not "Make America Great Again".

What do you think the main reason for that increase in net worth is?

I'll bet you could google it and find some information if you're interested.

I'll take that as a "don't know, don't care".

I'll give you a hint: some of the answers are right in the article you posted.

I don't need a hint. I read the article and didn't ask the question.

rich people get richer because they work harder and smarter than the rest of us. that's how they got rich. that's how they get richer. that's how they stay rich.

i'll bet very few rich people got rich spending their day on the college basketball sports chat forums gripping that the world owes you.
