There’ll be other opportunities. Don’t know if the market will pump that fast again but there’ll still be gains to be had. I’m sure a lot of us had missed opportunities

Besides the top 25 are you guys still looking at other projects in the 100-200 range.?
I’ve been so fortunate to have not pull the trigger on a few projects that have dipped 95 percent since ATH.... lol
A ninety five percent discount in a bear market is a blessing... when these taxes hit I’m buying a few ****coins and hope for the best

US government only accepts tax payments in USD, so this forces the companies paying the 3 trillion a year to hold USD
Then you have some major commodities being priced and traded in usd, so this also forces other countries to always have USD holdings..
Regardless of what you believe is backing the currency, it’s agreed that the USD is one of the safer currency’s to hold.
The belief that the government printing the currency is stable is more important than anything. Having the strongest military on the face of the earth will make a country more stable and more attractive for investors.
Deviance exists in all societies, so as long as human being is involved you’ll see fraudulent activity, but labeling the stock market a ponzi is a gross exaggeration when compared to the actual Ponzi scheme you’re promoting

Lol you serious?
Companies that have high rate of growth like tech (google, amazon, Netflix etc) usually don’t pay dividends because they re-invest that money into R&D
Then you have more established companies with slower rate of growth so the company decides to pay dividends to attract investors due to the slower growth rate.
The dividends are a ratio of their revenues, so the company that doesn’t pay dividends (Berkshire Hathaway-buffets company) has more earnings per share compared to the dividend paying ones.
So Coca Cola might pay a dividend they’ve increased each year, but a tech company like Google believes that the money is better spend on stock repurchasing programs and investing that cash into future projects that increase the revenues.
Interesting how you think warren buffets company which doesn’t pay a dividend is a ponzi..

Some shareholder prefer buybacks than dividends because of tax purposes.
Dividends have to be declared every year, but stock buyback will increase the stock value and the shareholder will only take the hit when he gets the capital gain from selling the stock.

Stock buybacks just lower the float.

I can’t find the part in the article that states the lawsuit is due to Berkshire not paying a dividend. Just because in your last post you mentioned you believe the only difference between a ponzi and regular stock is the dividends right?
And in regards to the “artificial bump” in price, it depends on your view I guess.
Regardless if the management decides to reward shareholders with either a dividend increase or a share buyback program, it’s unsustainable if your business is seeing declining revenues and pressure on gross margins, so repurchasing shares essentially can’t hide the issues with the underlying business.

I never said the ONLY difference, don't make up words without quotes. It throws off eveything someone is trying to explain via text.
If you read the story you'll see how his company practiced in ponzi like activity. These are facts which cannot be denied
The New York allegations focus on Reinsurance Participation Agreements — complex derivative instruments the lawsuit says shift all risk of losses from worker injuries back onto those who are insured.
"Victims are led to believe that their "capital" is being paid into "protected cells," which will eventually be returned to them," the complaint alleges. "Instead, Berkshire Hathaway illegally siphons off premiums through an unlicensed, unregistered and undercollateralized Hawaiian entity, leaving New York employers and injured workers without the funds that New York State requires to be available to cover losses due to worker injuries."
Regulators in California, Vermont and Wisconsin "have all condemned this scheme as illegal," the lawsuit charged.
It is what it is...

I read the article
Let’s try this again. In the above statements you’ve placed stocks into two categories, one a ponzi and the other “valid” stock that pays dividends.
If you want to add more information to make it more clear feel free.
At the end of the day we’re not going to see eye to eye on this one.
You’re like those conspiracy theorists who say we never landed on the moon and when faced with evidence their only reply is “that’s what they want you to think”
