Big problem of boost remains the time.. basically most of time we boost notes very close in time to the moment the original one was made..

That is why I thought about creating a bounty to create like a postponed boost, where you can choose when it to happen in the future.

Fun fact.

Many US banks hold long-duration Treasuries that are currently underwater. They don't have to mark their unrealized losses to market because they plan to hold them to maturity.

This works as long as they don't have a highly-volatile deposit base that pulls money out and forces them to sell their Treasuries at an inopportune time and lock in a loss and thus risk insolvency.

The bank my business uses asks for financials every year for line of credit. I want to ask them for their financials to make sure they sre solvent.

Only problem is I don't know what to look for on a banks balance sheet.

If you look closely you can see the current inflation.

Why is the top graph linear after 1971? Why not exponential?

United States' industrial production is one of the saddest macro charts out there.

Whenever red and blue people yell at each other politically in the past couple decades of rising political polarization, like half of it is explained by this. The pie isn't growing.

That is the saddest. It'd so sad I couldn't share it with my wife. I'm glad I got to share it with my favorite macro analyst, Lyn Alden, but still sad. 😔

I like DW. It's biased but upfront about it. Makes it more genuine. Also they mostly try to be intellectually honest.

I like breaking points. Mostly get a couple of viewpoints. Sometimes cringe or lack of polish but orders of magnitude better that main stream.

As a value investor, I find Charlie Munger's recent WSJ-published arguments to ban bitcoin/crypto and thank the leader of the Chinese Communist Party to be embarrassing and sad.

I'm currently writing a research note to 10,000 retail and institutional subscribers on why it's dumb.

Munger has a history of arguing that someone should be able to "steelman" their opposing view if they are going to have an opinion on something, which means being able to articulate an opponent's viewpoint more convincingly than even they can. Recently on CNBC, Munger was quoted on his historical claim and then asked by the anchor to steelman bitcoin/crypto after his WSJ op-ed, and he was unable to and didn't even try to.

He doesn't know anything about Segwit, Taproot, block size limits, whether a base layer should be Turing complete or not, anything about power dynamics between nodes, developers, and miners, etc. Absolutely no clue, and no attempt at a clue.

Such a bad viewpoint doesn't only reflect his old age, but also reflects his inherent ethics at a structural level from inception as a banker. It undermines his entire legacy.

Even on the history of money and its problems in developing countries, Munger would be schooled in a Twitter Spaces by any random above-average bitcoin twitter anonymous account.

It's sad to see.
