@CalebFranzen What I mean is that it becomes a mature instrument of trade, instead of an instrument of speculation.

@CalebFranzen I have a theory Caleb. Personally I hate that we ever invented crypto. However, isn't it actually BETTER that crypto prices don't actually go up or down, but remain stable (mean-reverting), that is surely better for wide-scale commercial and trade adoption by sellers and buyers.

@leadlagreport Since there are no fundamentals involved with it, the price of any crypto currency is based on the "greater fool theory", hence, those millionaires were simply lesser fools.

@DeItaone According to energy and defence analysts, it will take up to 6 months for the US Navy to clear all mines in the Strait. Also, insurance companies will have a permanent premium on all shipping going in and out the Strait, meaning oil will NOT return to "old" prices for a long time

@EpsilonTheory Look how calm and economical the French fencer is with his movements.

@EpsilonTheory As an ex-fencer I can tell you the US fencer is using weird and unnecessary strokes of the foil, perhaps to confuse the opponent. This is what we used to call Hollywood sword fighting. The micro-seconds wasted in those silly moves is what makes him vulnerable.

@2kaykim Hello, your posts have been showing up in my feed. I actually wrote a blog about this phenomenon in stock markets: "The stock market is rigged - in your favour". alphasciencefund.com/quantitative-m…

@SJosephBurns This is really good. I love this. Because if you really understand what he is saying, the stock market is "rigged" in your favour. I wrote about exactly this: alphasciencefund.com/quantitative-m…

@TimKoltek @jimcramer Two more: Insurance premiums (on shipping in the region, will account for at least a $40 premium per barrel in the near future.

@TT_stocks_ @jimcramer The real cause is correctly what you say but it is worse: it is INSURANCE PREMIUMS for shipping in the region. This is the real reason why oil will carry at least a $40 per barrel premium in the near future.

@jimcramer @jimcramer The explanation why oil will stay this high is INSURANCE PREMIUMS for all shipping going through the region. This will account for at least $40 per barrel in the foreseeable future. Regardless if the US stop the attacks.

@baayelblue @DavidSacks It's worse than that. Trump cannot be this dumb: *Any* disruption of world oil supply affects the *global* price of oil, regardless if the US is directly affected or not. US Oil companies sell oil at the *global* oil price, directly affecting consumers right across the US!
