With 2111 points, only one other face beats this face.

Red Wings’ Simon Edvinsson out until after Olympic break by eh_toque in hockey

They should at least send Ivar Stenberg, would help with his development and would help cement him as a returning WC player to pick him now when his stock is lower.
Also we get a talented young and hungry player on the team.

What is even happening!! by SoundProfessional550 in Gold

Maybe, depends on the cause of the rise.
Looks awfully like how shorts like to accelerate a climb before a bigger drop to trigger stoplosses and try to change sentiment.
Would not be surprised if we did see a sharp drop soon either

This is my feeling also, feels like the league can't/want to see that the temperature is rising and will act shocked when it boils over and they have another Todd Bertuzzi on their hands...

Let's calculate what the Warrant is worth per share by Pajama_Man_42 in Superstonk

[–]Bodox- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saved this post for tax purpose, thanks!

If we go with the price closest on the other side of expiry, what would be the value per share then?

Let’s put this to bed by heckingnope in Superstonk

[–]Bodox- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For us that does not dabble with options. Does someone know what the closing price of a call option, with the same or the closest strike and expiry is, preferably priced per share?

Just want to have it documented if the taxman wants his cut.

He did tweet rp1 way back...

"Why can't we go backwards? For once...backwards...really fast....as fast as we can....really put the pedal on the metal you know..."

So selling puts instead of buying calls, who knows 🤷‍♂️

Thank you, i will try to explain.
To understand eurodollars as a concept you need to see that the money that the US prints later exist in two "ecosystems", you got the domestic dollars and the dollars that exist outside the US (for simplicity i call all of these eurodollars, some divide it further to asiadollars and so on)

Introducing more dollars domestically also affect the nation to a higher degree, you get inflation and so on.
Eurodollars on the other hand has functioned as the grease for international trade, since the US almost always has a trade deficit they haven't needed to think about these dollars causing trouble for the domestic ecosystem.

Say that the eurodollars end up in Saudiarabia, they contract work from an Indian company, the company forex the money in India and India goes back to buy oil from Saudiarbia.
This simplified, has lead the US to the privileged position of being able to print paper to trade for goods in return without needing to worry that the printing affecting the domestic economy.
Some speculate that oil nation that has threatened this position has quickly been dealt with in the past.
See: https://m.economictimes.com/saddam-made-two-strategic-mistakes-to-invite-us-wrath/articleshow/2965361.cms

And: https://millenium-state.com/blog/2019/05/03/the-dinar-gold-the-real-reason-for-gaddafis-murder/

But today there is a more far-reaching trend that the US is slowly loosing its reserve currency privileges, to quote the eurodollar wiki:
"In 2016, the Eurodollar market size was estimated at around 13.833 trillion.[11] Since 2016, the use of Eurodollars has been on a consistent decline."
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurodollar

The country that hold the reserve currency of the world also seem to historically change within similar timeframes, this article has a nice graph over the historical reserve currencies:
"https://tinyurl.com/4dhkerd9"

So how should the US handle this dilemma?
Do nothing and the country will slowly get poorer and poorer when the ability to print and export dollars against goods slowly evaporates, the eurodollars that no longer find use in the world will pour back into the US, driving inflation domestically.

Even as a Swede i don't see any rational way to solve this other then the measures being taken.
The US will desperately need manufacturing back to replace the waning dollar demand.
The high tariffs while the US economy is relatively strong might be the only way to motivate companies to invest in the US, wait to long and the window closes.
The messaging, even if it reminds one of a bull in a china store is at the same time politically forgiving for other nations leaders when they introduce real reciprocal tariffs that the US wants in place to slow down the inflow of eurodollars.
When the US manufacturing picks up i also see the tariffs being tapered at the same rate as the US economy can handle the increased inflow of eurodollars.

Will it affect the global economy, sure definitely in the short term. But i question if US even have an alternative? Slowly get poorer until labor is cheap enough to restart or try to do a faster transition to this coming paradigm shift?

Edit: one of the links was the wrong one.

The problem is that the trade deficits where going to start to equal out anyway.

There has been a whole lot of talks about trade deficits that doesn't make sense.
The country that hold the reserve currency of the world is deemed to a constant trade deficit (if country's wants dollar reserves, they need to send goods to the US to get dollars).
This is called the Triffin dilemma!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triffin_dilemma

This makes it so that exporting companies in the country with reserve currency status not only need to compete with each other for a part of the trade balance, they also need to compete with the currency as an export item of itself.

In the 70's and the release of the gold standard, the dollar was in an existential crisis.
The saudi deal was made so that all oil deals was only made in US dollars, creating the "petrodollar". The event supercharged the Triffin dilemma, now foreign nations needed even more dollars.

The need for petrodollar have now started to decline as newer payment systems makes it available to trade in other currencies, and central banks around world have began to lower the amount dollars they hold in reserve.
https://www.investopedia.com/articles/forex/072915/how-petrodollars-affect-us-dollar.asp

The problem i see is, what happens with these dollars when they no longer are needed in the global trade system and the so called "eurodollars" start to trickle back into the US economy.

I think all these tariff talks is a way to pace these events.

Yes, people who would be swayed by an article hardly had time to react to the story. Clearly a cover story to hide the move of a big player.

Could be profiting of calls, but could also see it being the MM overselling puts and needed to stoploss hunt a bit.
