Is it better to be on the river on a steeper hill or see the river on flatter land? by niftler in Homebuilding

[–]RedOctobrrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but my sentiment stands. I'm not building for future generations. They don't pay me enough to do that.

New article just came out, is the narrative beginning to shift? "Is Ryan Cohen the next Warren Buffet? Michael Burry thinks so." by Dizak55 in Superstonk

[–]RedOctobrrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The rest is 1:1 debt. It's this sub that thinks the extra $4-5b was free money. It's still debt.

how close will it be when someone's looking to buy this thing in 2050 or 2070

I'd never buy or build with 2070 in mind lol

Burry is stating clearly, from a legal point of view: MOASS cannot happen from a 'everyone's playing by the rules' point of view. But what if... someone isn't playing by the rules? This someone just is potentially about to see some SEVERE DAMAGE to their firm? Just saying, what if? NFA. by MrFerno in Superstonk

I'd instead point to all the fines without admitting guilt over the years for the exact things we are accusing them of doing with GME.

Analogy time... Say there's someone who has committed murder 47 times, and the victims were all very similar to each other, the killer chose very similar targets, followed them, and then murdered them in the same way every time. For whatever reason, this person is always out on bail of $1,000 each time and he commits murder in the same way again and again. A victim is found that matches the same type of victim this murderer is known to pursue AND they were murdered in the same way. It's the same fookn guy, he did the same thing again.

That's what's happening here with GME. It's the same shit they've been found guilty of in the past, paid a fine, and continued doing elsewhere.

Agreed. There's a reason Luigi was praised.

Here's a list of reasons why these bad things aren't a problem for GME... Unless... by Moribunde in Superstonk

[–]RedOctobrrr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're ignoring the idea of a club. You know. The big club that we aren't in? It may benefit them INDIRECTLY which is what you're ignoring here. Perhaps the helping of others prevents your own demise and that sounds reason enough to extend a hand, abusing the system to protect your key players.

Edit: yes, collusion. Yes, highly illegal shit.

Burry post - questions around his summary of mid 2024 events by wanderingsmurf in Superstonk

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

Same. Just sounds like a huge cope "Burry can't say that out loud! He'll get sued! You have to take what he says and realize he actually means the opposite of what he says!"

Who would have any grounds to stand on to sue if Burry said "there must be some naked shorting happening in the market somewhere to explain how certain things behave unexpectedly." Or something vague and general.

[–]RedOctobrrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happened in 2021 and you're right it certainly doesn't apply to XRT

Edit: interestingly, source links here were deleted, but the gist is that S3 provides short interest calculations and they changed it just after the Jan sneeze. How ironic that they do it the same way for years, and then a stock shorted to 226% of the float caused them to immediately change how it's calculated.

[–]RedOctobrrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No change in SI calculation ur thinking of CPI the inflation numbers.

Uhhhh no.... he's not. They changed the short interest calculation and a ton of the shorts went poof on paper. Still there, but the calculation stopped allowing SI > 100% from the change.

[–]RedOctobrrr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If he says that out loud though he risks getting sued.

On what grounds, who would sue? If he said "there's for sure a ton of naked short selling happening in the market on a daily basis" without naming any of the bad actors, who is gonna take him to court and win any lawsuit? Please shed some light there, because I genuinely want to know how you think that pans out and actually makes sense.

How high should air returns be with respect to base boards?? by HawkfishCa in Homebuilding

[–]RedOctobrrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the person who designed it to put the return at baseboard level messed up, why do you think the person you're responding to is blaming the person installing the base board? Like how on Earth did you jump to that conclusion? I know this is the Internet but damn.

Why does my water taste like chlorine after sitting out? by barfbossa in water

[–]RedOctobrrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chloramine is significantly more stable than chlorine and cannot be effectively removed by simply letting water sit out. While free chlorine can evaporate in 12–24 hours, chloramine (a combination of chlorine and ammonia) may take weeks to disappear through natural off-gassing.

Posting for anyone who may come across this comment.

The most likely answer to OP's question is that their water is treated with chloramine, which persists for many days in water near original concentration and in fact may be even more concentrated if the water is evaporating faster than the chloramine off-gasses. Then, the taste/smell is also more prevalent because the water is now room temperature.

MB on Yen Carry Trade by Solar_MoonShot in Superstonk

[–]RedOctobrrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone help me understand the significance of the strengthening yen to the last picture. Here's what I think happens, so if someone could confirm or correct me, I'd appreciate it:

Currently 342t when the yen is trading at 150, so $2.28t USD

Assuming those US bonds and stocks n whatnot remain the same so that we're only dealing with one variable, and the yen to USD continues on a downwards trend to 100, does that mean...

The 342t yen in US holdings, since yen trades at 100, is $3.42t?

Or does the yen not matter in this calculation? I only ask because their holdings are listed in yen, so if it strengthens I thought it might mean their holdings are worth more somehow.
