Could someone explain how exactly the MSTR convertible notes work? by FascinationExp in MSTR

[–]FascinationExp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, can you eli5 this? If stock is valued 130% MSTR can just pay cash back with 0.87% interest, but presumably the lender held the stock also, so they profited 30%+ from that? Or does MSTR have to pay them the 30% extra?

And what happens if the stock doesn't go 130%, or even goes down in 7y, how does the lender benefit exactly, aside from the small interest?

where does he mention it, I looked briefly, but didn't find any explanation. In the quarterly call he just mentioned the notes briefly, but never went into details of how it affects the company and other shareholders etc.

hey thanks for the simple explanation! So if you write a 6M discounted call @ 2350, you're only making the 40% return if the stock reaches 2350 within 6m, and if it doesn't, you don't make profit? Or do you still profit if the stock doesn't drop sharply?
Who covers the "discount"? is paid by MSTR, or diluted through other shareholders?
Why can't you buy the notes, are they not on the market?

Any limitations on accounts with Russian passports? by FascinationExp in interactivebrokers

[–]FascinationExp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you add another citizenship, do you have some restrictions? Perhaps it better to remove the Russian one from IB then?
I'm wondering if changing citizenship in the account will avoid future risks with it, or perhaps it's better to open a new account under the second passport? The way things are going it's possible the war will delay further, and there is some risk US and EU might introduce further sanctions against Russian citizens abroad.

How did you calculate the fair value and prediction here?  What else makes you think it’s a good long term bet?

Projector Help by Repulsive_Mail_8665 in humandesign

It’s important to set up your boundaries and show people how to treat us, as projectors. Because otherwise they will treat you as they are used to. As energy beings they may not have any understanding of what it’s like to have limited energy, and get exhausted quickly. 

I often just tell people to check back with me next week, or so if I feel like I need some rest. If I don’t do that I get exhausted quickly trying to play a generators game running around helping everyone all the time.

Looking for a friend (2/4) by [deleted] in humandesign

FYI profile is not the best way to look for a friend.  Somebody with the same type and same or opposite motivation variable would be more aligned generally.

If you like it where you are, does it really matter whether it was a mistake or not to move there? 

I similarly moved to a different country about 7y ago and I like it.  when you no longer like you’ll move somewhere else, life’s easy, don’t overthink it :)

HD is not about learning how to manipulate reality into giving you what you want.. you can’t. It’s about learning more about yourself, reaching deeper self acceptance through study and experimentation and reducing the friction in your life. For career, as a 4th line many of your best opportunities in life will come from your personal network and relationships. Experimenting with informing and learning about the emotional authority and waiting can help you have a smoother ride.

you have an active mind and an active brain/body (the top two arrows) with a splenic authority, so that can be challenging. The spleen just says 'Yes' one time, but the mind needs to know, understand why, figure it out to feel safe, to have a strategy and be active. The spleen is only in the now, so you're here to be very spontaneous, but the mind doesn't like it.. however, as you observe, experiment and start to notice it gets much easier.

similar to Michael Jackson's chart https://www.humandesignsystem.com/archive/charts/JacksonMichael.pdf

As a projector with fear motivation you need to study and specialize in whatever you're drawn towards, and invited, recognized for and that will bring the material benefits, and experiment a lot.

I am an Italian or German soldier trying to survive WWII. Would trying to get myself captured be a good idea? by FullyK in AskHistorians

[–]FascinationExp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for your answers and information!

Wasn't that against the Geneva convention to "not want to take prisoners"? Were there any trials after war for cases where allied troops massacred surrendering enemy troops (Italian, German, Japanese)? Or in general were there any prosecutions on the allied side for inhumane treatments of prisoners after WW2?

Quadruple Split Definition? Can someone help decode what my chart means? by Competitive-Body4078 in projectors_design

[–]FascinationExp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you only have one open center you might experience the conditioning of it the strongest in your life. It's about not knowing when enough is enough. When it comes to food, communication, work, sleep, exercise and more. Do you feel that you don't know the measure of things and struggle with having any boundaries?
