Inverse Jim Cramer ETF closed 1 year ago due to lack of interest, sheesh.
To follow Pelosi, just look up the public record on the government website. It tells you the date and the product he used. Then just look up the chart for that day and look at the price range.
I'll save everyone hours of headache. The only politician's disclosures that are worth anything are Pelosi's. And by Pelosi, it is actually her husband that trades but that she has to disclose those trades as a politician. You can also copy Pelosi's trades exactly if you are into speculation and you can experience first hand how many of his trades end up -30% or more, but over the course of the year they have a chance of gaining. They gain not so much because there is any meaningful insider information, but because he holds the position for 1 year and we are still in a bull market (even as of tonight).
I think it's amusing that folks think that politicians have any sort of capability to be able to consistently beat the S&P 500.
Looking at their performance numbers as a whole, they're nothing special, but the underlying story where they make policy changes that affect the markets, and they're also allowed to bet on that market, just feels so unfair that it's no longer about the numbers but it's about the emotion.
> we are still in a bull market (even as of tonight).
Are you so sure about that? Presumably tomorrow's > 3% crash will mean we've had more consecutive crashes of note than any other period since the Great Depression.
This is truly one of the most remarkable market downturns in all history, and by all accounts it is only just getting started.
> And you are aware politicians have insider knowledge, correct? That is how you beat the s&p.
No, this is how low info conspiratorial voters think it works, because their worldview is everything is 1. a conspiracy 2. involves "money" in some basic way they can easily imagine.
Insider knowledge doesn't reliably beat passive investing and why would politicians even have it? You can see what they're voting for by watching CSPAN.
Their staffers are in the discussions and do you know that they leak information like sieves. A "top secret business discussion" in Washington, are you kidding me?
I'm sure they are in some discussions, I'm sure both staffers and elected officials are in others, and I'm sure elected officials have some without their staff.
> A "top secret business discussion" in Washington, are you kidding me?
There are those, of course; the incredulity you typed isn't evidence otherwise. But I was referring to top secret discussions that affect businesses; for example, the armed services committees have secret meetings about things that greatly affect companies in the defense industry.
There's literally TS/SCI for several departments, including the DOL, to get post-priced strike prices and costs for options before market open. And no, the prices you see before market open and saying, "Yeah! I can see that too!" is not the same. That's PRE-priced in.
> No, this is how low info conspiratorial voters think it works, because their worldview is everything is 1. a conspiracy 2. involves "money" in some basic way they can easily imagine.
There's no conspiracy in acknowledging that politicians sometimes use their influence for personal gain, when it's convenient. That's just human nature.
I dont think everything is a conspiracy, but it is obvious corruption is rampant in US politics, and who in their right mind would think that that stops at leveraging special committee insider knowledge for personal gains?
Hmm. Good argument. Look into how the revolving door works, or citizens united and it's after-effects... if you're interested in even just the bottom of the barrel to get your feet wet on the topic.
Then why do they suck so bad at it? Why is Pelosi not a billionaire if they have such easy access to privileged info? Why do they barely do any better than anyone else?
Author using AI as a form of algorithmic MDMA to get in touch with her feelings. I can see how she selects AI passages of deeper reflection and inspection.
Yes, it feels fake from the surface level to pick from words that AI generates. But the same principle applies to a psychologist's suggestive words during a consultation, IMO.
I really like the MDMA comparison, it truly pinpoints it. It seems like most of the people in this thread not agreeing with the process or even showing their hatred for it miss the point. AI in this specific case is not meant to replace a writer, but rather to act as a tool that a writer (or anyone) can use to get everything off their chest and access to what had been hidden from them for a while.
Now, people have been arguing whether or not this article is an ad. To be honest, I do not care. The story was moving and it highlights the remarkable progress of AI in writing, which is all that matters to me.
I think the title is distasteful, but the title tag of the article matches the hn title and is also the first title displayed above the fold (on a mobile browser, at least).
Stopping prosecution of non violent crime is one part of the equation. We can't overlook the UBI aspect of the stimulus checks, which could have had an impact on lower property crime.
I’m sorry to hear this and it must make you sad every time you think about it.
I think it is very difficult to go through life, experiencing all of life’s milestones in the way we might wish.
Another example is in those fortunate to celebrate a work retirement party. Others may fall ill, take leave and quietly retire without returning to work and have no retirement party.
Life seems unpredictable, unfair. Knowing that makes celebrations of life, when we can have them, much more special.
