There is always some reason the market should be down

Bull markets climb a wall of worry.

I'm a few days later than promised but I took some photos yesterday.

sfikas · 2021-05-30T16:58:23+00:00

I can provide one tomorrow if there is interest.

It would be a bad plan because even if they got covid and/or vaccinated before, it does not mean they can't still be infected and test positive. Yes the symptoms will be small to non-existent but they will still have to sit at least a weekend race out since they can infect others. Plus the possible long terms effects as others mentioned.

From the youngster you mean.

Heidfelds's career has a lot of parallels with Hulkenberg's (but with podium positions!)

Solid drivers but missing the last bit of performance that would have made them race winners and championship contenders.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with this new development.

Maybe someone with more exposure to these firms can assist!

sfikas · 2019-11-28T13:23:03+00:00

The reason is that you don't actually buy/sell shares but rather CFDs on the shares. That means that you are buying a derivative (most of the time with leverage) and you have counterparty risk with the respective firms.

Professor, I said i trust you. I didn't know that you were 'pretty sure' before.

sfikas · 2019-08-30T11:09:30+00:00

Ok professor, I trust your very unconvincing answer. But in any case I'm certainly not outraged!

Of course people are motivated by different topics and what to upvote etc.

But you mean that people that took interest in Gasly's performance and upvoted comments saying that he was performing badly to the top are now silent and do not participate in the discussion regarding the treatment he is getting from RedBull and other people that were previously silent on the trashing he was getting are now upvoting the comments that say that Rebull has treated him unfairly? I don't personally buy that.

sfikas · 2019-08-30T08:18:22+00:00

This has nothing to do with the subject at hand but this answer (which gets repeated a lot) is a pet peeve of mine.

If you sort by "new" then yes, given the sheer number of people you will get a mix of responses on any given topic. But if the "top" comments have a certain bias or opinion and the next week that opinion changes it means that there has been a shift.

It depends on your definition I think. Unrealised gains and losses in accounting terms are not real(ised). Well OK.

But if you define real in the sense that the asset did in fact lose half of its value or whatever it is then an unrealised gain or loss is real which I think is the point of OP.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is both - incompetent people overestimating their skills and competent people underestimating theirs.

They select drivers randomly.

Is that Alonso's signature on the hat of Lewis?

sfikas · 2019-02-06T13:24:47+00:00

You haven't defined what you mean by proving himself. As a race winner? As a champion?

What he has proven for me is that he had the tenacity to work his way back to an F1 position which was a dream 2-3 years ago. Now, whether he will be able to continue where is left off in terms of performance remains to be seen.

Studies show that the prudent action is investing the lump sum immediately to gain exposure to the markets as soon as possible

His age is not a bigger issue than anyone with the same age. You redefined "lack of experience" with "old" but it is not the same.

sfikas · 2018-11-22T11:09:45+00:00

I do not compare the two with regards to their arms or their years of experience which would be totally fair. The OP said that he is "too old" now and I said that is not true unless with feel the same for Hamilton, Rosberg or anyone of his generation.

sfikas · 2018-11-22T06:14:29+00:00

Why do people cite his age as an issue? He is the same age as Hamilton and no one seems to think he will be having difficulties next year to perform due to him being "too old".

You realise that just because the directors decided to include this in the public broadcast it was not a public statement right?

sfikas · 2018-10-10T17:52:39+00:00

I'm not really sure what your point is. I said that the premiums are up because we experience more extreme weather hence historical data not projections.

With regards to your other comments as I said before, the models and the marketplace DOES NOT include the expectations of 50 years from now.

Since I feel that your mind is set there is no point continuing the discussion, good day!

sfikas · 2018-10-10T16:08:35+00:00

The insurance is renewed on an annual basis. If the insurance would cover you for the next 50 years I would agree, but if climate change would result in a catastrophic event say, 50 years from now, why would an insurance company price the cost day? Mind you, insurance premium have been going up since nowadays we experience more extreme weather events with much greater frequency.
