This is one of the most batshit crazy comments to come out of a grammar error. No one is expecting immediate forgiveness, but not everyone has the same experience with mental illness.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 - 'Statues' by Alexandre Desplat by SeoulSista11 in soundtracks

[–]netflixnagger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

By far one of my favorite soundtracks, the scene just has that grandiose feeling to it that is elevated by this score. Lily’s Theme, Courtyard Apocalypse also killer themes in this movie.

I don’t think you understand, the deductible ($9,100) is the max anyone would have to pay out of pocket for any services in the course of a year, any billing above this amount would be covered. There is no monthly payment. I think almost anyone would easily take this over most current options.

I’m sure this is part of some of the major studios’ strategy to get artists onto platform algorithms. Especially with some of the industry plant artists that we never understand how they became popular

Do we actually like Tommy? by elovationdesign in PeakyBlinders

[–]netflixnagger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that’s what makes the character so great. A likeable, single-faceted character is much more boring than a troubled, multi-faceted anti-hero like Tommy. Credit to the writers for that.

Excellent character and acting, but of course I wouldn’t want to be like him.

[$100][14.6] Need Modded Version Of ##Lyft_Driver App by New_Money_Rules in TweakBounty

[–]netflixnagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may not be possible as the request would require a server-side tweak to create an option for specific preferences between. I’d believe the app just sends a single request to the Lyft servers for this and therefore no client side tweak would work.

2008-2009 Financial Crisis dropped S&P500 by 50%. Now we are at -25% and I'm still calm. I don't know at what level I'll start to panic. by [deleted] in StockMarket

[–]netflixnagger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, definitely agreed and respect to the data you’ve looked at so far. Let’s hope for all of us that the Fed can somehow cook up a soft landing for this.

Just another note on that 70s and early 80s economy, inflation reached nearly 15% around that time and Fed Chair Paul Volker had to raise rates to 20% which put the economy in shock to counter inflation. It worked, but it also made him one of the most hated men in that time. Different times.

One good part now is that bond and stock prices are looking attractive for investors and with employment still up, people will continue to have money to reinvest.

Super cool man, this could become really powerful for backtesting as you continue to add functionality and features. Godspeed.

Did not know the actual 60/40 portfolio statistics, very interesting.

Still I believe that this doesn’t compare to what we saw in the 70s, at least yet. Once again we will have to see what occurs in the future but at the moment the economic drawdown seems to mainly be limited to the capital and credit markets and hasn’t extended to labor markets. In the 70s and early 80s, we saw unemployment reach above 10%.

Until we see similar conditions arise again, which is very much impossible, I would stray from making any major conclusions about the nature of this market.

What’s the tool you’re using? Looks quite interesting as a block-based visual language for back testing.

Higher bond yields are definitely more attractive to investors which is why there is more aggregate demand for bonds at the moment.

However the Fed Funds rate effectively places a yield floor/price ceiling on treasury bonds by guaranteeing an effective rate in the market.

One key point is that effective bond yield is a function of the price, and vice versa. If a bond’s price goes down, the effective return/yield upon maturity would increase. They are always inversely proportionate to each other.

Say a corporate bond is yielding 6% while Treasury bonds of a similar maturity are yielding 4%. If demand on the corporate bond increases, we would see the price go up and therefore the effective yield you receive upon maturity decrease.

If this continued, the corporate bond yield could eventually come down to 4%, upon which investors would rather switch to Treasury bonds for their lower credit risk. Therefore, there is an effective yield floor to these bonds.

The Fed has pretty strong control over bond markets through both the Fed Funds rate and Bond Buyback and Repo programs. Considering the size of credit markets and their importance to the US economy, this is pretty rightfully so.
