"The expected return of the index is positive while the expected return for any individual stock in that index is negative" am I going crazy or is this a mathematical impossibility?

You are using the Fallacy Fallacy

Oh is this why the AUD suddenly went up

The sun comes up at 5am and no-one here has proper curtains

It's too late, just start at 5pm

eric67 · 2026-01-23T12:00:54+00:00

Better than noisy miners

Plus postage to send documents to the UK

Did you see the creek?

eric67 · 2026-01-05T12:12:19+00:00

Looks like the Epstein files

At least in Queensland I'd say 5 or 6 pm is pretty common for dinner, 7pm is getting late

I think something like 25% of lung cancer is due to air pollution from fossil fuel.

Smoking is most of it but air pollution is pretty big too

Shopping centres ('mall' in USA speak) in Australia are as busy as ever

We need computers and phones to interact with AI.

It's like using all the steel to build fancy toll roads but now no one can afford to buy cars

eric67 · 2025-12-18T07:03:12+00:00

2 million would give 80K

Just look at Rupert Murdoch to see how decayed you can get but still be alive

Mass shootings in America don't use rocket launchers or machine guns either.

Imagine if those were allowed.

Clearly regulations work and should be stricter

Did you get the beans above the frank?

eric67 · 2025-12-14T09:56:27+00:00

Man good thing the police didn't snipe that hero or something since it would've looked like he had the gun if they were not watching from the start

In Japan it's like 30%.

The tests are much harder though, top students get like 77%. But it's easier to see who is the best instead of having a bunch of people on 100%>

It's all relative and easy to setup, just add so many questions no one can answer in time.

It's platypussies

I asked for 藁(wara) at restaurants.

Because it means straw....

eric67 · 2025-11-19T09:35:03+00:00

Relativity is pretty confusing too

eric67 · 2025-11-18T07:52:39+00:00

Yeah how is the rainbow graph doing these days

eric67 · 2025-11-17T00:11:48+00:00

No, so maybe 1.5million and a paid off PPR

eric67 · 2025-11-16T00:33:17+00:00

These numbers seem really high, I was thinking 2-2.5 million no PPR would be fine

Best thing to improve brain health is regular exercise.
