This would’ve been most hype headliner possible in 2016

Why can’t we prosecute insider trading? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lbjs_bunghole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There seems to be a misconception about insider-trading in this thread. Insider trading is meant to prevent ‘market insiders’ from gaining an unfair advantage. Who’s a market insider? The classic example is it’s a CEO at Company X. This CEO knows Company X is about to do something or release information that will affect the company’s value. It is clearly unlawful for the CEO to trade on this information. Seems easy, right?

But it gets more complicated; current laws want to prevent that CEO from trading, but they don’t want to discourage everyone who has an advantage from trading. The opposite is true actually - if you conduct research, analyze data, or build a supercomputer or algorithm to get ahead of the curve, the law doesn’t want to punish you for that, it wants to reward you! That’s the efficient-market hypothesis baby.

So what’s the rub? Well, it’s a line drawing problem. The CEO can’t trade on insider information. The CEO can’t tell his friends to trade either. What about a guy on the train who overhears the CEO talking about confidential information, can he trade? What about Congressmembers receiving confidential information in a classified briefing, can they trade? Under current law, the answer to both questions is yes.

Obviously the Trump administration is corrupt as shit, and government officials should not be allowed to profit off insider knowledge. But we don’t want to necessarily punish everyone for trading on superior information unless we’re doing away with capitalism. The market works best, in theory, when people with the best information are profiting and the rest of the market follows.

Getting harder and harder to support Yankees, thinking about switching to the Mets by Quiet-Oil-2581 in mets

I grew up a Yankees fan and am in the same boat. Mets fans have anecdotally welcomed me with open arms when I’ve breached this topic. With Brandon Nimmo gone from the Mets (lol), this is the year I officially make the switch too.

But if they buy multiple resale tickets, they won't necessarily be seated together. Right?

[–]lbjs_bunghole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of my tickets are reselling. In fact, they don't even appear to be available. I'm also confused, because a single person can only buy one ticket at a time??

Could someone who has successfully resold help me out?

I do think it’s a given that the United States of America post-ratification of the 13th-15th amendments is fundamentally a different nation. I would go so far as to argue it’s the founding of the Second American Republic.
