Make sure the dollars option is selected and then enter an amount -- as little as $5. If the market is open, go ahead and make your buy.

Good Morning,

I’m reaching out in regards to a comment the Schwab CEO had made regarding Fidelity and the use of internalization. I’m looking for some clarification, so if you wouldn’t mind humoring me;

When I purchase a security through my Brokerage account at Fidelity, does Fidelity have the option to execute that order with their own supply of said security instead of routing my order to the open market?

Can you confirm that this by effect would have less effect on the market price of security, and that Fidelity could potentially profit more based off the spread?

It’s important for me to understand this before trading any further.

Thanks.

Ok, so you successfully rob an armored car.

It's revealed the new guy in the crew is crazy when he unnecessarily executes a guard and draws way more heat on you.

So you want to kill him. Understandable.

Why the hell would you:

A) Take him to a public diner.

B) Tell him he isn't getting his cut of the heist at the table

C) Rough him up at the table and draw the attention of every customer in there

D) Choose to kill him in the public parking lot immediately after

Obviously it doesn't really work out, Waingro escapes, and proceeds to more or less single handedly fuck up all their lives.

They’ve known all along the issues that exist. 🦍 DD Major Confirmation.

This is like an adrenaline shot of confirmation bias that every bit of fact finding 🦍’s have conducted these last 6 months are VALID & that MSM is gaslighting us into believing we are just Reddit conspiracy theorists who know nothing.

This post details some of the things that were happening behind the scenes during Clinton’s administration & Obama’s administration.

These details are from former chief of staff to Ted Kaufman, Jeff Connaughton(JC) in his book The payoff: Why Wall Street Always Wins. (Note JC is a Democrat, so that is why he was only part of White House during democratic presidency’s. Also this book was written in 2012, ~10 years ago)

(Note2 I read on an iPhone so page numbers are different on here than a traditional book when citing)

JC also served as a special assistant to the counsel of the president during Clinton’s 1st term. In between chief of staff & special assistant he served time as a lobbyist.

These “findings” will be limited to JC’S experiences. I decided to share because of the timeline of when they occur & I thought they were interesting pieces to our puzzle.

This post is lengthy, but should be quite easy to read. Honestly most of the work goes to the author because of how concise & easy to understand the writing is.

• Wall Streets Influence in Clinton’s administration
• The Blob
• Naked Short Selling & The SEC

#Wall Streets Influence

Bill In Review: Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Excerpt about this bill:

“A corporate coalition - Wall Street banks and brokers, accountants, insurers, Silicon Valley—wanted the bill, which would make it more difficult to prove securities fraud, passed intact. The bill’s opponents felt it would shield securities fraud by these companies. Particularly troublesome to them were provisions regarding the statements companies make about future performance.” (P171-172)

**Basically it is now harder to prove securities fraud as well as provides safety to companies for including forward looking statements & prospective information. (Hello Enron) **

JC account with this bill involved counseling Bill Clinton himself. Pushing the president that this bill is not good for the public, to which it seems the president agrees.

Here is the part that stands out to me

“If the president has to think very hard before taking on this kind of fight, I thought to m

I didn’t expect it to happen. We have been working together for about three months, they were actually the first regular client I had since starting my own business this year.

Anyway, long short this relationship was turning toxic quickly. They had unclear and unstated expectations and only let me know when I hadn’t delivered on them. The CEO never made themselves available to me except to rake me over the coals (I was hired as a fractional CMO).

So today, as they were telling me how terrible a job I was doing (I have hit all KPIs agreed upon so far) I realized one of the big reasons I started my own company was so I could choose who I work for. And I so I told them that I don’t want to work for someone who doesn’t trust me and I don’t think they should have someone at the executive level that they don’t trust or feel is doing a good job.

They were shocked! I don’t think they’d ever been talked to like that before.

Anyway, I post this to hear your stories of firing a client and weathering the storm. I have other clients, and I don’t think it was a good fit, but still have a sense of guilt / fear as they were reliable revenue.

Edit: thank you for the awards and advice! I’m overwhelmed by the support.

First - Previous - Next

Fleet-Cardinal Krenn watched from the bridge of his flagship as the planet below burned, and he was pleased. The cities of the Unworthy made for the perfect inaugural pyre for the renewal of the Holy Endeavor. They would continue to serve Kra as they had before the Mortification.

He shook his head in thought as he remembered those days. He had been a child when their Endeavor had first begun.

Initially, the Chosen's Holy Endeavor had met with success. Over a period of twenty years, a dozen unclean worlds had been discovered and cleansed, ready for the servants of Kra to purify. Three species of his Unworthy Children had even been fully extinguished! A triumph!

Kra had been pleased by his Chosen Children's attempts to aid his Great Servants, and rewarded them greatly. As their Endeavor progressed, His Great Servants had purified five unclean worlds very close to the Home Systems, each a blank slate, ready to be remade in the image of Kra's greatest work, Krathig-yar.

New homes and resources for the Chosen.

Then, disaster had struck. A large group of Unworthy species had been encountered, that worked together. They began coordinating their forces with others to oppose righteous cleansing. But the true depth of their depravity was revealed when they began employing unholy synthetic life against the Chosen; Thou Shalt Not Create Life, For That Is The Domain Of Kra.

The Chosen had despaired, as their fleets had been destroyed, corrupted by the Unworthy's unholy familiars, and been pushed back to the Home Systems.

It had taken what became known as The Mortification to stop them, so named because it was both a humiliation and a penance. Humiliated by their defeats at the hands of the Unworthy, The Chosen had thrown themselves at their enemy in the millions, using ramshackle, quickly built ships with as little automation as possible to prevent corruption.

It had required the sacrifice of twenty percent of their population to stop the Unworthy, but they had done it. He remembered, as a young priest-captain, watching from the bridge of his ship as their enemy finally withdrew.

The massive funeral pyres on the surface of Krathig-yar after.

Two decades of salvaging and rebuilding their fleet.

But this time, they would not fail. The Mortification had purged the weakness from the Cho

Preface:

If you do not recognize the title of this post, I highly encourage you to read what came before, as the material contained within this DD is a direct follow-up to The Castle of Glass. It’ll make what comes next far easier to understand, as this shit runs deeper than Kenny G’s rectum after the pounding he’s taken over the last 9 months.

Where in GC1, I described to you the ‘what’, this follow-up is here to show you the ***‘how’***. The former was insightful in providing us with the general direction that the company has been heading towards. A solution that would not only eradicate those who made the greatest mistake in shorting the company but nearly every other financial entity that played their role in it.

Yet, understanding the solution is only half of the equation. Make it through to the end and you’ll see why I waited 2 whole-ass months to drop this thermonuclear watery shitfart on these Shortbus scum. So fasten those fkn helmet belts and unbutton your nip pouches. Where GC1 is me to my wife, what comes next, is most certainly her boyfriend.

Hedge Finance Update: New year, new heights!

If you haven’t been following along, here’s what we’ve got in store for the project in the coming weeks:

Hedge Sniper Bot -

A home grown Sniper Bot able to target a contract before launch to action a buy as soon as its listed on the BSC network. The only requirement is holding 100k Hedge, which is a fraction of the cost of purchasing a Sniper Bot elsewhere! Plus, you can stake that 100k to receive boosted blue chip rewards!

Amazing, right? We think so too.

Marketing Deployment -

Through an internal crowd fund sale, our marketing wallet has now reached the goal of funding deployment through three different marketing agencies! (including NinjaPromo and Coinbound - who have worked with MetaMask, Etori, Cosmos, Nexo, Bitforex and a lot more!
These agencies include private investor group AMA’s, influencer marketing, press releases and social media lead generation.

Staking -

Hedge is releasing its staking protocol in the coming week! This will be a protocol spread across two different staking pools. One for holders of less than 20k $HEDGE, one for holders of more than 20k $HEDGE. Stakers receive boosted blue chip rewards from a pool of 15 million $HEDGE! Now everyone can get airdrops! Isn’t that great? Yes, we thought so too.

Published Articles -

We have also been busy in getting Hedge Finance published online, if you have not seen these articles posted recently, go ahead!

Welcome into the deepest parts of the rabbit hole part #2

Part 1 ( https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/pv5xx7/leaked_call_between_cia_dr_kit_green_psychic/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf )

Remember this is a discussion Thread, stay nice to each other. Take a 🍭 and relax.

Let’s start with the core theory which was implied a couple of times before by various gentlemen.

TLDR: Core Theory:

• we got created by these ufo beings.
• They feed on us.
• We are a farm for them.
• Prison planet.
• Interdimensional.
• Different ETs with different agendas
• Some UFOs are manmade

Let’s take a deep breath and dive deep into this rabbit hole.

First of all: let us see. Is this really what Tom delonge, lue elizondo and Ross Coulthart believe?

Lue Elizondo and Ross Coulthart implying we were created by these UFO beings

Lue Elizondo providing a scenario where we're basically zoo animals:

https://youtu.be/aSoDKbo8Gfs?t=14900s

Ross Coulthart implying we could be the result of DNA manipulation:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIFTVSacrFU&t=7232s

Are we just genetically-modified apes kept under observation?

For those that haven't been following Lue Elizondo, he has implied that the UFO beings exist outside of our notion of time. It starts to sound like the Earth is a purpose-built animal enclosure or simulation.

——— ok let’s stop here. We all remember the „somber“ quote from lue elizondo. We all know he is a friend of Tom delonge and they was on the same project TTSA and they respect each other and their theories/ideas.

So what does Tom delonge believe in?

• the universe is teeming with intelligent life of all kinds.
• Malevolent ET's are present on Earth have been manipulating humanity for most if not all of our history.
• they may not be aliens as we understand them and are linked to consciousness, or can master consciousness which is the greater reality we haven't learned to tap into yet.
• they are parasitical, they feed on human conflict and negativity.
• they have inspired world religions for the purpose of dividing us.
• They can also implant visions and ideas directly into our minds.
• The state of human society is fundamentally unnatural and the product of this persistent manipulation.

——— I will stop here. I could go on forever. You got the point.

As you can see, Tom seems to be completely out of line. But his core thesis is not so

Hey all, I've written this up as a quick primer as to why the Polygon Network is being slam-dunked by a.. peculiar game design, along with how to mitigate it as best as possible as an end user.

Firstly, if you're panicking that you NEED to follow these instructions - you don't. The SFF game design/exploit is only sustainable for as long as the farmed token value outweighs gas pricing, and maintains liquidity.

Systems like this cannot maintain liquidity for more than a few days at most, at least without a malicious third party spending very significant amounts of money to prop it up - and even in the incredibly unlikely case that there is a malicious party involved, try as we might to believe it, magic internet money also runs out at some point too.

In the below, I'll point out the general causes that led to this - if you've no interest and just want to get trading again, skip to the Mitigation section.

Causes

Sunflower Farm (SFF) implements a game design which in short, can reward you for every single transaction against its' contract. The very simple way of considering this is that instead of earning rewards over time, you're earning rewards per click. Think of Cookie Clicker before you get any idle upgrades - the faster you click, the faster you progress.

However, while games like Cookie Clicker only need to verify your actions locally, Blockchain games which deal with what are essentially financial assets need to implement a higher level of security. There are two ways to implement this, both of which require hitting the blockchain/contract in one way or another;

1) Store a log of all actions completed by the user, and verify them against the blockchain periodically.

Again for the Cookie Clicker example - let's imagine you click 2,000 times. A threshold has been reached, so it should fire off some logs to the backend server which check if you were cheating, or doing anything to compromise the integrity of the game.

These logs range from simple to complex - but a very simple version would be to say, check the clicks per second. If the user hit all 2,000 clicks within 1 second, it's easy to assume they're cheating and reject their save data. This is cheap and simple, and easy to protect against an essential DDoS by requiring a set amount of time between each individual user request.

However, there are some potential pitfalls - an oversight in the cheat protection could let people slip through, or clever users might find out

Now to start- I know that it's an extremely competitive and (over)saturated space, but the verdict is pretty damn clear if we just simply lay everything out on the table to examine in the most objective view possible with all aspects of inflation (numbers; sales, streams, charts, views, etc) set aside from the main factor of pure raw influence.

As often stated, "literally nobody is doing it like him." Not a single other soul in this same way.

• SHINee
  • I could and would honestly need to make a whole 'nother post to cover even a fraction of their impact in complimentary to my argument for why I believe they're the true owners of the "Kings of K-Pop" group title, but basically to put it concisely for here- Taemin coming out of SHINee is like Michael Jackson coming out of The Jackson 5 but on another level.
  • they have the literal best dancer in all of K-Pop, 2 of the top vocalists among all idols, one of the most iconic male fashionistas, and the athletic champion of all idols
  • first group to ever invent and achieve the "rookie grand slam" by sweeping up all the new artist awards of their debut year
  • introduced & popularized colored skinny jeans in South Korea which became fittingly dubbed at the time as "The SHINee Trend" by the general public and mainstream media
  • 'Ring Ding Dong' became K-Pop's first ever officially "banned song" in South Korea during national college entrance exam season because it was too distracting for students from its' extreme catchiness. The lyrics were even cited in Seoul's National Hangul Museum as well.
  • they are considered a legendary classic household name group
  • they are staples in the variety industry and were notably SM's guinea pigs whom always got sent out first to try new shows
  • they are leads in the entertainment industry with most if not all members being actors for dramas, films, musicals, and etc
  • first K-Pop group to be directly compared to The Beatles, and by the CEO of Abbey Road Studios himself at that when they visited the iconic location
  • mentored EXO
  • given the title of "Avengers of K-Pop" at music shows and such long before SuperM existed
  • introduced/popularized the genre of dubstep to K-Pop through 'Everybody'
  • introduced/popularized the genre of deep house to K-Pop through 'View'
  • labeled as "the critic's (favorite) idols" and no longer just a group but "a brand" by professional music critics across South Korea
  • casually hold mere "fan

So during the small quest chain that the merchant who talks to you at the start of the game offers you, at some point you end up exposing and capturing a corrupt captain which causes the merchant to leave Calradia in fear of his life as it makes the lord/king of that town look "weak".

I was wondering if actually taking the town as a monarch then handing it to yourself would change the dialogue of the quest in any way. So I went through the game without initiating the quest until I finally managed to take Praven as a monarch, only to find out that the merchant does not appear in the tavern anymore.

It seems he will only appear in the tavern if the town does not belong to a kingdom you are the ruler of.

PS: After some quick testing he does appear again after swearing homage to king harlaus.

PS2: Interestingly enough, when swearing homage to a different king another merchant appears. When swearing homage to king ragnar, the merchant of sargoth appears who normally resides in Sargoth if you choose to start there. Looks like they either forgot or chose not to make a merchant specifically for the player-ruled faction.

Makes me wonder if the claimants also lack merchants, or if they will spawn the corresponding merchants that refer to the initial rulers of the faction they're linked to since claimants seemingly don't create a new faction.

TL/DR:  The opportunity to get rich quick by buying GME was January 2020. It was very fun.

One Paragraph TL/DR: The Between January 1 and February 12, 2020, some 1,680 million shares of $GME traded. Of these, around 55 million were shorts closing their positions. There are many interesting stores to tell about the stonk—e.g., why those other 1,525 million traded—but if you’re hodling in expectation of a MOASS, you need there to be some reasonable story of why there are still significant shorts in the stock today. And there isn’t—because there aren’t.

https://preview.redd.it/l5w6wujh45681.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=651883da88d28773ad5b64decbdc2a0a27cdcb3e

Here’s a joke I like:

>Two conspiracy theorists die and are standing before the throne of God. One falls to his knees: “Lord, I’ve spent my life trying to solve the JFK assassination. I’m begging for the truth: who really killed him?” A sigh comes from On High. “The Warren Report told you. It was Lee Harvey Oswald. He acted alone.”
>
>Shaken, the man turns to his companion. “Wow. The cover-up goes EVEN HIGHER than I thought!”

Returning to Reddit after much time away (sorry! Responsibilities to people who pay me actual money), this felt apropos, because, you know, on the will-there-be-a-MOSS-in-Gamestop question, we have a final answer from the SEC.

>There was a MOASS. It happened in January. There are no secret shorts.

****

Yet, on the GME bull subs, folks seem relentlessly committed to terminal unawareness of this basic point. All the excitement about DRS-ing, the tweet of the day, unrelated financial dooming—these only matter if you have a basis for believing that there’s some massive short interest in GME right now.

And there isn’t.

And, moreover, there isn’t any evidence that there might be. (No, hearsay and conjecture aren’t evidence). To the contrary, we have a specific explanation of why there used to be shorts, there aren’t shorts now, shorts covered and closed and went away.

In brief: the SEC has told you (as I’ve previously obliquely suggested) that January 2020 was a classic retail-driven mania. People got excited about stocks, way out of proportion to valuation, and eagerness to buy drove prices way way up. And the combination of prices-going-up and markets going-irrationally-unpredi

I definitely believe the govt will never let the stock reach millions a share. I think they will intervene with an executive order and a max settlement price.

Naked shorting and deregulation/failure to sufficiently enforce current regulation, and fines that are a tiny fraction of the illegitimate gains, haven't caused the world to lose faith in the US markets, so why would capping one stock at $100k or even $10k (arbitrary #s) cause the world to lose faith in the US markets?

DTCC bankruptcy and/or trillions being printed from the fed would definitely have people lose faith in the US markets and economy faster than US capping a stock at 100k (representing one of the most profitable investments of all history).

Ideally not a single $ would need to be printed and it would all be seized from raiding the offshore taxhavens of the offenders... sadly this seems unrealistic as well.

Imo GME is the best most asymmetric investment and I am all in. I also believe shorts incurring infinite losses is only theoretical though. I think it'll make sense to hodl as long as possible that way if the govt does cap it you will get closest to or the actual peak price.

To quote DFV, "no precise target, just up".

My Model 3 AWD lease is about to end. While I generally have positive things to say about my Tesla experience, my Tesla hasn’t exactly been scratching my itches as a car enthusiast. So I am currently at a bit of a crossroads, buy another Tesla and get an affordable-ish sports car. Or combine the funds into one nicer vehicle.

The problem with the one nicer vehicle is the fact that it does need to be EV. While I am sure a lot of great EV vehicles will burst onto the scene in the next three years, there’s really only one car on the market currently that feels like it might be an upgrade from my Tesla while also satiating my enthusiast desires and that is the Porsche Taycan.

Now I’ll be honest in saying that I am by no means a Porsche fan. I drove a 997 911 Turbo as well as a 718 Cayman base and I walked away from both cars feeling like they were sports cars on Xanax. They just weren’t exciting for me.

Likewise, I am by no means a Tesla fanboy. I think they have EV offerings that make a lot of sense, but as a car enthusiast I do long for something that feels a bit more special.

Unfortunately when reading comparisons between Tesla’s and Taycan’s they pretty quickly devolved into descriptions that felt too simple to me. “If you want a well built car with a great driving experience get the Taycan” “If you want a good charging network, like technology, and need lots of range get a Tesla” While I knew both of those general sentiments to be inherently true, I felt like they were leaving out a lot of details and that the folks righting these statements were inherently pro Tesla or pro Taycan making it hard to find what felt like an unbiased opinion.

Fortunately I found myself on vacation and in a position to rent a Porsche Taycan Turbo from Turo so I jumped on the opportunity to see whether it would be more compelling than another Tesla and a dedicated sports car. Here are my thoughts below:

While I will generally be comparing this car against my Model 3, I have driven the following vehicles and will be drawing from those experiences as well. C5 Corvette, C7 Grand Sport, C8 Z51, Lotus Elise, Lotus Evora N/A, Alfa Romeo 4C, Porsche 997 911 Turbo, Porsche 718 Cayman, Ford Focus RS, Audi TTRS, Audi R8 V8.

I also find the naming convention for various Porsche features to be a little confusing, so my apologies if I am not describing features using the official Porsche names.

Power

The power on the Porsche Taycan Turbo is actually really interesting to

Just because you don’t like a twist or two doesn’t mean that Jeff is bad at his job. The fact that Survivor is still on air 20 years later and has bounced back incredibly strong after their longest hiatus ever in the pandemic is indicative that Jeff is actually really good at his job.

I’m not trying to change anyones minds about the quality and/or quantity of the twists. That’s not what this is about. Jeff very clearly busts his ass to make this show what it is, Jeff very clearly cares about Survivor, and every decision he makes about the show, big or small, is most likely done with extreme care. There is a reason he’s executive producer. You don’t just obtain and hold onto that title for no reason.

This subreddit is the most extreme of the extreme when it comes to Survivor fans. Of course there’s gonna be purists. But if a purist was the executive producer all these years, the show would not be on the air anymore. And if it was, every season would feel recycled and dull.

We are the 1% of the 1% of the people who watch Survivor. Just because a vocal group of our small fraction doesn’t like some of the decisions Jeff makes, does not mean that he is awful at his job or doing anything terribly wrong.

EDIT: I guess I wasn't clear enough. I'm not talking about the quality of the twists. I'm saying that Jeff is a good EP. Is he the best possible option? Probably not, but neither you nor I can answer that question. Is he a pretty good option and is Survivor going to continue on just fine with him in charge? Yes.

Edit: After speaking with a CS supervisor, if a fractional share remains in a plan holding account that is not enrolled in the DRIP plan by the time the fractional sweep occurs, the fractional share will be sold, based on her phrasing even if a plan holding account is 1.xx shares the fractional might be sold if the account is not coded as being in the dividend reinvestment plan. The fractional share will eventually be sold via sweep even if the request was submitted after hours and the pending sale cancelled if it is not enrolled in DRIP

There were multiple front page posts about this, and some of them mentioned that you could cancel the fractional sale that is created by requesting termination of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan by going into "pending activity" and canceling the sale order that is created.

I followed this method exactly after hours and no pending sale was created, so I called and Computershare advised that the request failed. I submitted during trading hours, and the pending order was created successfully. I selected that I wanted to cancel the order.

Here we are, the next week, and I regret to say that the fractional sale was not canceled. I got a notification with the share amount, the price executed, and the rather large fees the fractional sale was subject to.

I called Computershare just now, according to the representative there is NO WAY to cancel the fractional sale order if submitted online. The request to cancel WILL fail. If you have had luck canceling this way and it did not execute I wish I was in your shoes right now, but at this moment I wish I had followed my gut and called to move to "book"

So yes, as in the post title, you MUST call to move to "book" with your "plan" shares to avoid giving the fractional to the hedgies.

Before you say that your fractional share wasn't sold, please consider if you made the request under two weeks ago that the fractional sweep might not have occurred with your account or you might have re-enrolled in the DRIP for that account with a subsequent purchase

Chapter 40 – New friends, old enemies

Disoriented, Shida rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, her alarm loudly blaring in her ears. How long had she slept for?

With effort, she turned herself around so that she could get the annoying device to shut up while simultaneously checking the time on the terminal. It was the fourth hour of the day. Of course, it was. She had set the alarm to this time herself, after all.

After staring at the time slowly ticking up for nearly two minutes, she finally groaned and strenuously pushed herself up from the uncomfortable futon, which formed the only barrier between her and the cold, hard floor.

The accommodations on Congloarch’s ship left a lot to be desired, since they were basically cobbled together from the equipment made for a very different crew that usually inhabited the vessel.

Not that she couldn’t make it work, but it wasn’t exactly comfortable.

Absently, she skulked through the cabin on her way to the washroom, dropping her current change of clothes on the way. Then she stepped into the way-too-large-for-her sanitary unit and turned on the hot water, feeling the fluid flow over her with strong pressure, while she supported herself by leaning against the unit’s wall with both hands.

Her wet mane, made heavy from the water, hung down around her face in dense tufts, forming a thick, dark curtain that blocked out the world around her as the water rushed over her. She stood like that for a while, letting herself be doused before finally finding the energy to actually wash herself off.

A few minutes later, she finished by rinsing out her hair, pressing the water out of it between her fingers while turning off the flow and turning on the drying function instead.

The warm air blew in her face and through her hair, quickly taking away the damp feeling the shower had left behind and leaving her warm and with a fluffed-up mane. Since she really didn’t want to trade in this warm feeling for immediately being cold again, she skipped the next step of just standing around and waiting for things to happen and instead opted to immediately get dressed again.

Leaving the washroom with quick steps, she walked back out into

I just wanted to raise awareness of this mod, as it once again saved my seed (OK, that's a bit dramatic but it easily could've, as it did do it in the past) that I've put hundreds of hours into. Basically, it allows you to introduce newly released content into already explored parts of the world and it does it in such a wonderful, non-cheaty way. If you're firmly against mods, you can install it, use it and uninstall it, as it doesn't "taint" the seed - all that it does is what the vanilla game can do.

It was specifically made with tar pits in mind, but the author is updating it constantly (in fact, it was last updated yesterday) and only today I've noticed it also allows to reroll unlooted chests in the Mountain biome for a chance to get >!onion seeds!<, which I was really struggling with until I used this mod again. First time I used it was for tar pits and it worked wonders - the tar pits were there as if they were always there. They didn't float in the air, they weren't glitched, they didn't overlap any points of interest (like Fuling bases, stones, birch forests, etc.) that I already explored. I was honestly gobsmacked how well it executed the command.

You can very finely tune what you want to do. Or, if you don't want to get into the plethora of parameters, there are simple commands to introduce just tar pits or onion seeds.

What I'm most excited about though is the ability to regenerate all explored zones apart from ones that you specify with coordinates or that are a specific distance from your character, or in a specific biome, or at specific coordinates and distance, or... This means that you never have to worry about abandoning your mostly already explored world when new content gets introduced, because you can preserve your builds and reset everything else to a state as if the world was just generated.

It's the only mod I use as it doesn't feel like cheating. Just some peace of mind.

Applying mods to Valheim isn't exactly straightforward, but if I've done it, I'm sure you can, too. Just remember to back up your world before you use it, as it could wipe your builds if you use it improperly (that would probably only happen if you started playing around with the more complex, parameterised functions though, so you would probably be well aware of what you're doing anyway) - check that it's all there after utilising it.

Hey guys,

I've decided to put together an update regarding my Bank of America thesis (I called this shit in May). I realize that there's a lot of new people on this sub so I thought it was worth sharing a recap as well as an update as it looks like we are close to or at endgame. I have also come to the conclusion that Morgan Stanley may also be a bagholder in the Gamestop saga. I want to stress that nothing is financial advice, and I have no idea when things will turn south. Again I'm human and I do make mistakes, and if you have anything to support or refute my thesis please share so we can get this right.

At the bottom of this page, I also included a collection of my other posts. All my digging is fair game as long as you reference it properly (I'm looking at some of the trash YouTubers)

Hypothesis:

Morgan Stanley and Bank of America are both bagholders in the Gamestop Saga.

Bank Of America recap

What we already know:

1. BofA is the main Prime Broker for Citadel & 1 of 2 for Susquehanna and will be responsible for closing said positions if they cannot close
2. BofA has/had a significant Put position to potentially reset FTDs
3. No Bank or Hedgefund has/had more GME containing ETFs than BofA.
4. BofA's head of client equity solutions left to join Citadel after the Jan squeeze.
5. ~20% of BofA's locations have not reopened since last March
6. BofA issued a $15 billion dollar bond in April to raise cash
7. Several high-level executives have resigned or have planned to.
8. There is no new purchasing of BAC stock, only selling by their executives
9. In August BofA released a prospectus with the purpose to raise $123 Billion Dollars in liquid assets
10. The number of securities sold under agreement to repurchase greater than 90 days doubled from Q1 to Q2 and maintained its stance to Q3.

What is new?

1) Sudden meeting with the heads of Finance and Yellen.

Yesterday November 2nd it was reported that Janet is meeting with several heads of the financial world. The timing of this is no coincidence. I can't help but think of the meeting where the heads of the banking world congregated prior to the Global Financial Crisis. F

John Bogle é praticamente o criador da estratégia de investimento passivo em índice. A galera que segue isso gosta de se chamar de "bogleheads". Tem vários por aqui no reddit.

E ao longo do tempo ele virou basicamente a favor do buy and hold passivo. Ao menos é o que indica essa matéria da Forbes chamada The ultimate buy-and-hold. Nela John Bogle recomendou que, ao invés de fundo (ou ETF) de índice, é melhor comprar 50 empresas e carregar para sempre. Nunca vender nem rebalancear.

Confiram:

>***'Bogle recommends the ultimate in buy-and-hold investing: a completely static portfolio.*** He would buy the 50 largest companies in the S&P 500 and then never buy another. The portfolio would ignore the constant small adjustments that Standard & Poor's makes in the index. If a stock were lost in a merger, Bogle would not replace it.'

Interessante que o racional para ele fazer isso era basicamente economizar corretagem, taxas, custos, impostos, fricção, etc, coisa que o fundo de índice tinha (hoje com os ganhos de escala os custos dos ETFs de índice são muito baixos lá fora).

Hoje temos um conhecimento mais profundo que 20 anos atrás, é muito melhor conhecido o fenômeno da assimetria de retornos e a vantagem que uma carteira própria traz em termos de convexidade.

Continua:

>'Do you miss much performance by mechanically buying only large companies? Quite the opposite. At our request, Professor Jeremy Siegel of the Wharton School calculated a hypothetical return (before transaction costs) if someone bought the 50 largest S&P 500 stocks on Dec. 31, 1950 and held on. Average annual return: 12.6%, a fraction of a point better than the market (which Siegel defines as all listed stocks). He then created separate buy and hold portfolios for every year since until 1996. Result: the buy-and-hold approach beat the market three-quarters of the time and it never underperformed by more than 0.6% a year.'

Foi simulado comprar as 50 maiores do SP500 em uma carteira estática e carregar para sempre, e bateu o mercado na maior parte do tempo.

Muito provavelmente comprar 50 empresas aleatórias (pegando várias menores com mais potencial de crescimento), ou 50 lucrativas, vai ter returnos ainda maiores que comprando as 50 maiores. Conforme comentei, ele sugeriu isso pois o objetivo era apenas economizar em taxas e evitar o Doação de dinheiro para a corretora do índice, se levasse em consideração a assimetria da distribuição dos retornos provavelm

Crowdfunded video games. By now, most people have probably heard of at least one Kickstarter disaster. Obviously there are more high profile controversies like Mighty No 9, Shenmue 3, and Yogventures to name a few, but these tales are a dime a dozen in the industry. Even when attached to the most veteran talents, there’s no telling what will happen after a game is funded, or if it will even release at all. By all accounts, Unsung Story is by and large yet another warning sign to excited backers about the realistic dangers of crowdfunding. And if it weren’t for the efforts of another developer stepping in to save the project, it’s doubtful the game would receive even the fraction of attention it still retains nowadays. Yet, in an industry filled with many abandoned and failed campaigns, Unsung Story has managed to live through its disastrous development and seems to still be alive over seven years after it’s initial launch.

Another Successor

Final Fantasy Tactics (FFT) is considered by many fans of the franchise to be one of the best spin offs the series ever produced, and a stellar game in its own right. A tactical role playing game with a complex story and combat system akin to the likes of Fell Seal or (more popularly) Fire Emblem, especially Three Houses, FFT is beloved by many to this day for its interesting innovations on the genre’s formula, compelling story, and as an overall solid first step into the genre. While the sub franchise would see a few more installments throughout the 2000s, the Tactics series would dry up long before 2010 as Square moved on to new projects and several of the original game’s creators left the company.

So when Unsung Story: Tale Of The Guardians, calling itself a spiritual successor to FFT, was launched on Kickstarter in 2014, it immediately ignited interest among fans. Even better, the company behind the campaign, Playdek, announced it was being supported by Yasumi Matsuno himself- the director behind the original FFT and had a heavy hand in numerous other titles such as Vagrant Story and Tactics Ogre. The creator had already teased he was working on such [a project in

Hedge Finance Update: New year, new heights!

If you haven’t been following along, here’s what we’ve got in store for the project in the coming weeks:

Hedge Sniper Bot -

A home grown Sniper Bot able to target a contract before launch to action a buy as soon as its listed on the BSC network. The only requirement is holding 100k Hedge, which is a fraction of the cost of purchasing a Sniper Bot elsewhere! Plus, you can stake that 100k to receive boosted blue chip rewards!

Amazing, right? We think so too.

Marketing Deployment -

Through an internal crowd fund sale, our marketing wallet has now reached the goal of funding deployment through three different marketing agencies! (including NinjaPromo and Coinbound - who have worked with MetaMask, Etori, Cosmos, Nexo, Bitforex and a lot more!
These agencies include private investor group AMA’s, influencer marketing, press releases and social media lead generation.

Staking -

Hedge is releasing its staking protocol in the coming week! This will be a protocol spread across two different staking pools. One for holders of less than 20k $HEDGE, one for holders of more than 20k $HEDGE. Stakers receive boosted blue chip rewards from a pool of 15 million $HEDGE! Now everyone can get airdrops! Isn’t that great? Yes, we thought so too.

Published Articles -

We have also been busy in getting Hedge Finance published online, if you have not seen these articles posted recently, go ahead!

Hedge Launchpad:

This will give Hedge holders access to Whitelists and Pre-sales of up and coming projects that the team researches and chooses to support through the Launchpad.

The Analytics Platform:

As some of you might know, we have onboarded two new members to help with our data analytics platform. The Hedge Finance data analytics platform will be an all-encompassing data analytics and trading platform for BSC (and later cross-chain) tokens built exclusivel

Preface:

If you do not recognize the title of this post, I highly encourage you to read what came before, as the material contained within this DD is a direct follow-up to The Castle of Glass. It’ll make what comes next far easier to understand, as this shit runs deeper than Kenny G’s rectum after the pounding he’s taken over the last 9 months.

GC1 - https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/ok2e0b/a_castle_of_glass_game_on_anon/

Where in GC1, I described to you the ‘what’, this follow-up is here to show you the ***‘how’***. The former was insightful in providing us with the general direction that the company has been heading towards. A solution that would not only eradicate those who made the greatest mistake in shorting the company but nearly every other financial entity that played their role in it.

Yet, understanding the solution is only half of the equation. Make it through to the end and you’ll see why I waited 2 whole-ass months to drop this thermonuclear watery shitfart on these Shortbus scum. So fasten those fkn helmet belts and unbutton your nip pouches. Where GC1 is me to my wife, what comes next, is most certainly her boyfriend.

Phase I - The Foundation

In asking how RC and Co plan to execute their order 66, you must first understand why any of the following is even worth considering. In doing so, we have to take a look back to Overstonk.com and see precisely what they did and why it worked for them. Not from my own words, but those of the CEO of the company, Robert Byrne and Dale Kimball the judge who dictated the ruling in the company’s favor in regard to their blockchain-based dividend that squeezed their own company.

In 2017, Byrne held a live presentation discussing the functionalities of Blockchain and why it prevails over the dumpster fire we currently call our stock market. This fucker was onto something...but just how much was he onto? After watching the whole presentation there are two specific moments in which he explains just this. https://www.deepcapture.com/2017/07/patrick-byrnes-cato-institute-luncheon-address-cryptocurrency-the-policy-challenges-of-a-decentralized-revolution/
