  1. Harassing short sellers using tax law can certainly make stocks go higher. (Aka produce inflation.)

  2. The Chinese stock prices are below their 15 year average. If you want to see a giant stock price bubble, look at the US market.

  3. Yeah, better invest in a stock of a non-authoritarian regime and the managers of that stock will then invest in the authoritarian regime for you, without you having to think much about it.

  4. The countries will not be cracking down on anything here. The corrupt individuals who run the countries have their own skin in these investments.

  5. You forgot to post a link where you can apply for adoption by your dad (after a small advance fee for legal expenses, of course).

  8. Yeah, people act as if it's some crazy capitalists who invent these guildelines. Why would they? It is all political bullshit bingo in hope of winning votes (and more importantly, bribes from their corporate sponsors).

  9. What's happened: since US entered the trade war in China you see an incessant stream of anti-Chinese propaganda. I'm not a fan of how they run things down there, but it it obvious for a neutral bystander that the "predicted apocalypse" news are political bs.

  10. Well, from what I read to avoid the over-quota dairy tariffs as an exporter you have to go through only a few official importers designated by and rubbinsh shoulders with the Canadian goverment. And those importers also have deeply entangled interests with the Canadian domestic dairy market and politics, and they are not even keen to raise their imports to be anywhere close to the quotas. So as a small US daily exporter who wants to supply hte Canadian market, those tariffs actually hit you with full force - which would explain why the exports are so low in the first place (30% not, say, 99% of the allocated quota) while the prices remain so high.

  11. You cannot answer that question by looking at past data because for that you would have to know what would have happened if the intervention did not take place.

  12. He doesn't really intend it though. This is just stilly pep talk to appeal to his woke pals in government, he probably got some corrupt deals through by pretending.

  13. With governments able to disown you willy-nilly, make wars, and make YOU pay for their wars, there is no real FI, unless it is you who are holding all the guns. And even then you'd have strong competition.
