My (very Republican) dad is *only* 72 and today i found out some asshole who advertises "free dinners to learn about investment management" had him 100% ready to buy a $700k very structured high-cost annuity product. INSIDE of his IRA account. JFC.
kind of buried the lede here: "The best thing that can happen to [short sellers] is we [Palantir] will lead their coke dealers to their homes after they can't afford to pay their bills."
This man has billions of dollars of government contracts, and access to top secret data.
$PLTR CEO Alex Karp talking about short sellers on CNBC live right now:
“They just love pulling down great American companies so that they can pay for their coke”
Lmaooo he’s really not holding back today ❄️ 🔥
catching up to $ionq analyst day, but for now i'm only 11 minutes in and the CEO just explained that traditional computers "can't even calculate" what 2^1024 is, and even if they could it would take 32 GB of RAM just to hold all the digits. what a scam artist. y'all been had.
when our fund was about 1/25th the size it is now, i heard things like an allocator derisively laughing about a manager whose fund was "just a smart person throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks," so yeah, don't let the bastards grind you down.

twitter at this point is largely a stock scam echo chamber site run by the main scammer. might as well be r/cydy
idk who needs to hear this, but if you are a shareholder in a stock where there is a vast quantity of semi-secret revelation passed around among other shareholders, you are probably not an investor, but rather a victim of a cult leader/scam
i love the extent to which, even after a legendary career, and having had a lot of success and money and praise,

i nearly liked it because i thought for sure it was a joke.
but then i realized you seriously meant "trans is part of the establishment." amazing
with the note that past performance is no guarantee of future results:
since my fund launched (Aug '08), it is up 817%
since then, $NWBO stock is down 96.4%
yet somehow, $NWBO's CEO, Enron Linda Powers, has made way, way, way more money than me over that same period of time
@whstancil
"P.S." this dude has a French Master's degree in Business. what does that even consist of? he's an expert at knowing how to have 6% returns on invested capital and the summers off?
also to be clear, shortsellers have been net buyers of $PLTR stock year-to-date, meanwhile insiders have sold more than $250 million (!!!) worth of shares
shitco rally in context. here's goldman highly-shorted index performance with 27-day rate-of-change in bottom panel. buying these extreme moves worked well in 2020-Jan 2021, has generally been a rough scene since Feb 2021. who knows what happens this time
this place has been wonderful for me at times. i've met so many great folks. people i've loved, people we've hired, people who make art, people who help me be safe, people who are utterly thrilling...kindred spirits of all sorts. but it's probably best not to be here much now.
Elon Musk waging an all-out war to protect members of the KKK after their mask fell off. Absolute trash human.
Any of you paying for this website are just absolutely shitting on your fellow humans.

this decision has nothing to do with gambling. if they were up 5, they'd have taken a knee. but down 10, you are going to lose anyway, so you maximize points, because it's a possible tiebreaker.
@SVVAYED
i don't understand the joke here. i give advice on hormones more often to cis men than to trans- and non-binary people. if you want T, it's pretty easy to find a doc who will give it to you, but there are better ways (that do not shrink your balls) for cis dudes
I have to admit this Tesla fanboydom phenomenon has lasted longer than I'd have thought. In spite of 70+ humans getting burned to a crisp, and even murdered monkeys. Maybe things won't end until someone loses their dick to a steel cervix with an inappropriately large panel gap.

They need to heavily dilute their shares now, for the mission. It will put their messiah back in charge of things, and only then will he be able save humanity with these sex robots that have misaligned body panels.

a long-term RCT would not be ethical. they said "patients are facing a three month wait for care" is the standard, then compared immediate care vs. that. so the study is really pretty minor, in that it was open-label and short enough duration that placebo effect would be an issue
@ArmandDoma
i hate that there are so many trans tankies. love and support to all the transes but please stop being tankies just because the man has oppressed you. sometimes the enemy of your enemy is also an enemy.

it's weird that the people who have allegedly stolen the means of production here and subverted the system for their own gain are somehow so powerful, yet so weak that they aren't even allowed to unionize or strike

love that you can get a lifetime ban around here for saying one vaguely unfriendly thing to a fascist, but committing a felony in multiple nations is just "uh, can you please delete that?"

as an M.D. with a deep background in evidence-based medicine, just wanted to say kudos for this whole thread. everything you said here is precisely bang on and mirrors my own thoughts.

as someone who has coached a decent amount of girls' and coed club soccer, i find this absurd. there are absolutely girls who will fuck up same-age boys
the Israeli government is denying the passage of humanitarian aid to 2 million civilians. this is indefensible. this conflict is not a righteous side vs. a bad one. it is innocent civilians on both sides being slaughtered for the sake of hardline assholes.
every stock this man touches turns to shit. it's absolutely astounding. the single best contra to ever walk the planet. clueless each time to the bitter end.
I did not see the link in
@cpiller
with the $sava response. They point out that simufilam MOA is supported by many independent academic institutions. It does not matter that Dr. Hoau and his small lab invented a drug with little resources and did not follow perfect data
the number of people Israel ever held accountable for the murder of Rachel Corrie is, coincidentally, equal to the number of people Israel has ever held accountable for the murders and manslaughters of journalists over the last 2 decades
to the contrary, an oxford cloth button-down worn with no jacket, and oversized sleazy frames that the dude paid a lot of money for solely as a marker of the status he desires, is an absolutely *perfect* 10/10 no notes look for capturing that dude's essence
To put together not only a good outfit but a good wardrobe, you need to figure out how different design languages fit together like puzzle pieces. An oxford cloth button-down shirt (Ivy Style) worn with no jacket (90s business casual) does not go with oversized sleazy frames.
Hey $NWBO bagholders, look at $SAVA bagholders. So many people, myself included, told them this was inevitable, but they chose to listen to the pumpers fabricate rosy scenarios and make up tales about "evil shorts" instead. Management got rich. Shorts got rich. Longs got broke.

@AriDrennen
context. if she was 172nd in the state as a freshman, already on girl hormones, yet competing against boys, of course her results were rough. it's like how y'all tried to claim Lia Thomas went from "550th to 1st" which was total BS; kids do get better from FR to senior year
Am I taking crazy pills or was there literally nothing incrementally positive in that $ENVX quarter? It read like something from $IWSY back in the day, just a ton of jargon about strategy, etc. and nothing tangible. Other than excited sell-side dudes, why was the stock up?
@quantian1
amazing. this is absolutely the epic level of petty grievance i once held against the office of financial aid at uchicago. the difference is that i was an 18-year-old then.
were people always this bad at understanding the world around them and we just never heard about most of pre-Internet, or has the Internet been a tool of mass brainwashing and cult formation?
@DeadLiftCapital
i know people who aren't in finance or business who just utterly cannot conceive of why anyone worth 8 or 9 or 10 figures would just relentlessly fuck people over for a few more dollars and honestly they are right to be puzzled and appalled

this is utterly nonsensical, Matt. my short position in $SAVA could easily be covered in a day. I don't say things about SAVA because I'm short it. I'm short it because, as an M.D. well-trained in evidence-based medicine, I know there's no evidence the drug is effective...

@MsRozzieReBelle
@AriDrennen
that's brilliant. being forced to have sex hormones discordant with one's gender really sucks, for both trans AND cis people. great example
@epsalon
@AriDrennen
to be clear, there is a mountain of evidence that care for trans adults & adolescents is safe and effective, and essentially no evidence it is not. nice to have one more study in that direction, but i don't think this really changes a lot. it's clear trans people should get care.
Nice of Bret to use his appearance in front of millions of listeners on Rogan today to talk about how he is now an HIV/AIDS denialist. He finds the evidence that AIDS is not caused by HIV but by the gay lifestyle to be "surprisingly compelling."

the best thing about threads is when you block crazy-ass people, their wild ramblings no longer appear in your timeline
the most "difficult" thing about this number is that it has 309 digits, so it will fit in a single Thread post, but not a single tweet unless you pay Elon $8.
A journalist going after a billionaire's wife because the billionaire is acting like a jerk is very 2024: a good illustration of how having record extreme wealth inequality promotes a whole set of anti-social consequences.
if there is an upcoming purge where everyone who has ever posted a terrible take is going to die violently, it does help explain why

is so committed to marrying/having kids only with "a doctor who is also the the most offline woman in the world."
Thousands of children killed this month and even more people online screaming from the safety of their homes that they deserved death for being born in the wrong place. I promise I keep lists and when war finally comes to this cursed land, I’m going hunting.

@benryanwriter
@BrynnTannehill
as an M.D., this study doesn't add much. benefits are significant but could have a large placebo component due to short-timeframe + open label.
however, the "just asking questions" folks have warned about alleged harms for years, with no medical evidence. it's time they shut up
@Templar736
@KatyMontgomerie
He shot up a school where staff, including a now prominent state Republican politico, is alleged to have covered up a child rape scandal while he was a student.
If you think that is an indictment of Katy, or of trans people in general, that is your own bigotry.
"notes":
1. Elon is a pedo guy. the right to say that has been firmly established in U.S. court.
2. Jeffrey Epstein hooked Kimbal Musk up with a girl.
3. Chaya Raichik is a terrorist.

Bill's whole shtick at this point is consistently siding with the far right while trying to pretend he's just a nice guy ignorant of any wrongdoing. Same reason he supported Vivek for President. Same reason he attacked trans women. Ivy league billionaire with a "populist" routine
Wow! 🤩 AFP-backed “conservative family values” state rep candidate Daniel Kalmbach loves to pArTy! 🥳
What are these mushrooms that someone paid him for around the time he went to EDC (giant rave in Orlando)? And why does he keep buying red balloons?🤔
