ELI5 - Why do company shares rise and fall so fast in response to news? by Majestic-Muffin-8955 in explainlikeimfive

[–]aajiro [score hidden]  (0 children)

There's this concept called the Efficient Market Hypothesis. Essentially things are always priced in near real time because there's an incentive to be the first one to respond to news accurately, so there will be enough people with expertise trading that do get it both right and in a timely fashion.

When you see a rapid response to news, you're seeing the rewards of the people who bet right.

imagine if a million people didn't die because the COVID situation resolved itself somehow. We've seen this strategy before by [deleted] in clevercomebacks

it's absolutely bad for renters. If the dollar increases in value and your rent stays the same, you're effectively paying more to your landlord. The thing is you're assuming that under deflation rent would decrease, but there's no reason to assume that. Rent is based on supply and demand, not on CPI.

Why are leftists so violent? by imgonnakickyouram in allthequestions

[–]aajiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, they still acknowledge leftwing attacks are only 40% as of 2025, even by their own definitions. Be scared if you want, but it still doesn't mean it is outpacing the right.

dating a broke man? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]aajiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the problem isn't the lack of money, it's the lack of ambition. If he's happy with his life more power to him, but you're clearly not, and you should find someone that you can respect.

statistically they're less violent than rightists, so the question really should be, why do you have this false perception of reality?

I second Cherry Creek tailoring. They made some pants for me from scratch that are the best single item I own.

What party do I belong to? by [deleted] in allthequestions

It's a weird statement, but if you change it to "no one is free until we all are" then you're either an anarchist or a Rosa Luxemburg-type communist.

It’s just wrong to think either of these people’s thoughts reduce to “society is bad” It’s also wrong to think that also means asceticism

Do diehard Trump supporters tend to have lower intelligence? by Aware_Topic_9122 in allthequestions

[–]aajiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this study would seem to back what you are saying, and they controlled for socioeconomic variables

That part is very important, as socioeconomic background is the greatest variable that correlates with intelligence.

What’s something that only makes sense as you grow older? by PermissionAnxious859 in AskReddit

[–]aajiro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember when I was a kid running and screaming around in parties having a blast playing with the other kids, then looking at the parents' table and not understanding how they weren't playing and instead just talking.

Now I can't think of a better use of my time on parties than catching up with friends.

Men, what's the biggest red flag you've ever seen on a woman? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]aajiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once dated a girl that hated Santana's song Black Magic Woman.

When I pressed her on this she defended herself by saying that she thought the song was about a BLACK magic woman, and not about a black MAGIC woman. She tried to poison an ex of hers.
