It's very ridiculous to think Ukraine would assassinate a critic (who has more vocally criticized Putin) on Polish soil.

You're saying once the deal is signed the president will say "lol Iran, the gulf coalition doesn't exist, you get nothing"?

> “Well, our expectation is that the strait is gonna be opened in a toll-free way for the long term, and that’s the sort of thing that we’re gonna figure out in these technical negotiations... You know that there are a lot of very important details to figure out, that we’re actually gonna sit at the table and discuss together and figure out a path forward on these details.”

This is the kind of thing you say when the deal is ready to be signed Friday.

It's not name calling. Russian disinformation farms are things that exist. A bunch of people in this thread are desperately pointing fingers at Ukraine and Israel.

He left a bad review at a hotel in Germany. I think it's safe to say Russia couldn't possibly have done this.

I'm not sure your motivations but trying to muddy the waters with nonsequiturs about Israel and Ukraine seems reads like propaganda.

Misleading how?

> When the victim fell to the ground, the perpetrator approached, fired three more shots and then quickly fled the scene. Robert K died at the scene," he added.

Could have been almost anything!

It's like a Fyre festival but you live there!

Isn't this exactly what I said? The "time in the market..." mantra only applies to people who are ignorant or lazy?

Does your "closed system" assertion account for selling options?

Are bearish positions the only way to time the market?

If NYT's source is his tweet[1], he "authorize[s] the toll free opening of the strait", not claiming Iran agreed to it.

"But my 401k advisor showed me a chart!"

Well yes, exactly. Would sanctions not be an incentive in 2030?

They're pretty good at projecting power in the region though.

Are the bad actors gone?

Check out spring of 2020. Rate cuts and QE if he can get control of the Fed.

You need to caveat this with "... if you want to be lazy and ignorant of your port." Otherwise there is so, so much evidence that it is flat wrong.

I imagine: "Under Biden we would have surrendered to Iran and then the world would be destroyed by an alien probe looking for humpback whale sounds."

Maybe in the post-Putin power vacuum they'll have another option.

For the same reasons it temporarily gave it up before?

He didn't hate the Obama deal, he hated Obama therefore everything he does has to be criticized and torn down. If that deal had Iran paying the US, Trump would have said the color of the money was no good. And his supporters would eat it up.

I read it properly but "the implied tax on repayment" was referring to lovecg's comment.

Which is pendantically and functionally very different from the implied tax on repayment.

Taxed on repaying a loan?

Correct, he couldn't borrow $1T from one person with $1T as collateral.

I mean people get mortgages and carry credit card balances and do margin trading and get helocs. If those are taxable I might need to call the IRS.

For the uber rich it is called "buy-borrow-die".

And this is why the idea of a wealth tax has so many tres comas types up in arms.

If the market is detached from reality then you very much cannot. It's like you weren't even listening.

Yeah but he can borrow against it and not pay any taxes.

5% float and index inclusion. Basically controlling both the supply and demand levers.
