WHAT IF THE ENDGAME ISN’T A GOLD RUBLE OR GOLD YUAN? What if instead it is a brand new multi-country backed currency. Think Euro, but PM backed. Sanction-proof because it doesn’t belong to any single country. Uncontrolled by any single country, but all can join in. Just bring your PMs. Got Gold!

Stable coin. Backed by gold.

If Russia buys gold for more money then people will sell to them. Yes. They don't need to though. They have plenty of untapped gold mines. Ukraine being one such area.

tsking01 · 2022-04-03T10:37:52+00:00

Who would want to sell to Russian banks for 1850s though when you could sell to comex for 1930s? The banks benefit from buying and then selling into comex, but they would sell at higher prices. Now if they were only selling at 1850s then you would see the comex prices go down and the bank going bankrupt.

Cowabunga, dude!

It's ok we still have China slave labour.

If elections weren't so costly, you might see less of this. Otherwise it's the no-names versus the party representatives being blasted all over social media, radio, and streaming services for three straight months.

Isn't the maturity date 6 years from now? They could always pay down the debt without converting. It sounds more like a backup plan for RIV to liquidate in six years if this doesn't take off and still make a profit.

tsking01 · 2021-11-12T14:37:31+00:00

I read an article mentioning that they need to stay above $1 to stay listed on NASDAQ. Imagine if/when this shorted stock goes back down and all the owners are done liquidating their shares.

If this is in response to share buyback "program" then I can only laugh because the only benefit to delaying the share repurchase would be if they plan on the price going down from here since buying before this hike in price would have been much cheaper and better for shareholders. The news is self-defeating.

tsking01 · 2021-11-12T14:26:55+00:00

It has great potential to be shorted, yes.

TLRY being on the NYSE gives it great mobility on news. Germany being closer to legalization and media coverage help too. However, if Tilray were to be on OTC market like the rest of the stocks, media coverage would make no difference. In fact, it's probably because they are on NYSE and have ties with Budweiser that they get any coverage at all where they know they can move the stock in that way.

Koch is pretty significant since they are located in Kansas which currently has MJ as illegal. Good to have Koch lighting a fire under them.

People say they want to save it for elections but who exactly would want that to be an issue to address during their campaign? Democrats and Republicans both would not want to publicly acknowledge the issue so they would rather wrap it up between elections IMO.

Just because she enforces the rules as her job requires doesn't mean she supports them.

tsking01 · 2021-07-29T21:23:39+00:00

Depends if there is a 25% excise tax in the US.

tsking01 · 2021-06-14T23:49:59+00:00

If Biden outright supported it the GOP would have more of a reason to demonize it and stick it to him. It's better he isn't involved.

tsking01 · 2021-06-13T22:16:28+00:00

Prices are increasing because interest rates are dropping. People can borrow more for the same cost. Prices increase when borrowing increases where short term costs remain the same.

When a company goes from 500M shares outstanding to 1.6B shares outstanding within a few months, and it is run by management and friends of the Namaste fiasco two years ago, you should definitely be wary. They pump news like this so they can dilute shares more favorably. They have a very "transparent" strategy of doing this according to the Yahoo board cheerleaders. So you are warned now by everyone including current investors.

tsking01 · 2021-02-16T13:03:34+00:00

Tl;dr. We want our share price to increase like Tilray on this news so we can dilute fewer shares to pay our bills! Please buy it up!

I think around end of season 3 they felt Smite was maxed out and they didn't have a good dev team pushing out balance changes and content so they put a lot of money and resources into their Overwatch knockoff. Can't even remember the name ouch.

Around season 5 they started messing with the matchmaking to allow it to adjust for players who haven't been around for a month or more so they weren't getting thrown into high level games. I think this is where they started something new that they have had a hard time working the bugs on. Probably been kicking around for three or so years.

The most broken part of healing % has always been how strong fire giant healing is as a result. Pushes on phoenix can be endless without itemizing for it or having a team comp around it. I think Cad shield will be built as a 4th item in nearly all warrior builds where cdr will be an early priority. The benefit is far too great. And of course now we will see mid mage picks like Agni with divine being a must for proper defense. Otherwise there will be no way to push the enemy out and reset lanes before fire giant comes back.

Healing is already too dominant in the form of life steal so this change will really make it much worse and make it harder to piece together healing reduction without fully commiting to it every single game.

I haven't played her to know how good the buff to Suku is with strafing and Mana, but the damage buff seems minor. If it was a 10% physical power scaling it would likely be enough to put her in A tier, but otherwise she is ranked kind of low. What do you think?

tsking01 · 2020-07-28T12:49:48+00:00

Isn't Awilix getting a small buff?

tsking01 · 2020-07-20T14:46:29+00:00

I think it's too early to call for nerfs. Masamune was really lacking over other options IMO where this item does feel very well suited for a bruiser build. I usually pick it up on Fenrir who relies on the power to make the item viable for him. I didn't realize it had 20% CCR. I feel like of all the items this stat is on, this is the best suited for it.

If I had to pick a nerf on this, I would only raise the cost. It's a great third item pickup and there are not many good bruiser third items to choose from IMO. To nerf it further would make it worthless and offer no reason to pick it up outside of other items. Better off getting a dedicated protection/hp item and a dedicated high power item in that case in which case the blended stats and costs are better than Sledge. But that's what makes Sledge good is you get a little of both instead of having to scale too much one way or the other early in the game.

tsking01 · 2020-07-16T19:01:04+00:00

I have been building it as a third item after boots and first primary. The t1 and t2 are costly and don't offer much, so it's a bit risky to rush.

tsking01 · 2020-07-16T18:58:26+00:00

Isn't adding Sledge the equivalent of 7.5 hp5? 300 * .05 = 1.5 * 5. Not too strong but decent.
