I actually just searched your post history for "billionaire" to try to find your post in this thread where you called him your favorite billionaire but that post was very good also, and this post is gold too. The resident forums communist, ladies and gentlemen.
idk this doesnt really portray Mordin as the bitch here

capitalism is more of an inescapable fact of life that will assert itself in human culture with your permission or not

like toilets

no one really likes toilets, but the people that want to talk about abolishing toilets are insane

they want to discuss a world without toilets and when you try to get them to explain how they plan to arrive at this utopia it becomes clear that the sum total of their plan is to make pooping illegal

I don't really follow forum superstars, but not sure why investing in the stock market is incompatible with communist beliefs. Its just acknowledging that the current system, at least in America, assumes you have to look out for yourself and at least part of that is building wealth through investing. You can not like it but still need to do it (if you plan to retire at any point you better be investing)

I hope Moridin starts posting about how his tenants wrecked their efficiency when they found out he's evicting them with three days' notice so he can start AirBNBing it or something

Also what does Elon Musk sound like

I think gambling on stocks is a far cry from being a landlord (ie a rent-seeking leech)

Like even a communist society would have gambling, and in this case he's gambling against the subject of mockery for this thread (Elon Musk) which seems fine, good even

The markets can stay irrational for far longer than you can remain solvent... as the saying goes.

With Tesla there is a lot invested so sunk cost fallacy starts to take over and investors hope these really are bumps.

Given ole Muskrat thinks cash flow doesn't matter except at end of the quarter I suspect they'll declare bankruptcy before investors clue in that it is a lost cause.

Tesla could be shuttered tomorrow and Musk would just blame the establishment for sabotaging him and his dream of electric anime mobiles and then he'll go home, tug on the pigtails of his Hatsune Miku wig, and gently caress his childlike girlfriend in his rocket bed while shouting, "I'M ALPHA, I'M ALPHA!"

And he bet with 100 shares so a difference of $40/share is a total difference of $4k between where the price is (for 100 shares) vs where he wants it to be in order to break even

3k max. You put the money down and you either lose it all or gain money back

What kind of eve scam is this

Edit: Oh explained above. Options. So it's just rich people's casino gambling. Neat.

An options contract is not the same as buying, selling, or owning stock, it's basically just a bet on what the price will be in the future
