Facebook To Restore News Content After Brokering Deal With Australian Regulators

There are fears the Fed has lost control of the bond market: Cashin

 https://youtu.be/dmV7TE437a0


*the federal reserve needs a retool and the only recourse is a political one (congress & president.)
When that will happen I am not sure.
the federal reserve never controlled the bond market; it was just a participating buyer and money circulation front for a military industrial complex to get their way rather than international pressure swaying the American markets.
Overall, the guess is who is the dog in this situation and who is going to wag the tail? [imagine if there was no government stimulus, would the rates (deravative of money) rise as fast?]

*seller should take highest and best offer. 

if the construction company has guilt of selling at such a high price, the offer could include company shares for the buyer (with minimum holding period or other seller options of the shares.) 

I will be watching to see if the construction company goes public/ipo. 

Why Is Short Selling Legal? [update]

 https://youtu.be/djt9mPq_Hck


*@seneca983 a targeted percentage of outstanding shares does become more philosophical as it is political. Overall, if the company controls the number of shares in circulation then what is to say that a stock should be more or less than what that company says. That becomes political and what the governing body (like the federal or state government) can say what the company can issue for shares and how much the public at large (for public companies) to issue more or less shares than that actually exist that the company promises to buyback (if ever in the future.) The politics becomes a stakeholder (not just stockholders) issue of what the company does in benefit of society. In example of GameStop: it is retail gaming where the profit margins are thought to be thinner than other business types; a rise in share price recently could have been an opportunity for GameStop to issue shares and collect money for improving the balance sheet and cashflows. Likewise, society would be better off if GameStop have done so as the company would have less debt (or better debt efficiency to weighted cost of capital) or more investment that would create employment.

Why Is Short Selling Legal? [updated]

 https://youtu.be/djt9mPq_Hck

**

max short should be 100% of outstanding shares [for legal limits]

seneca983 [asked why]

​ @seneca983  I assume that is how many shares are in circulation outside of the host company's control. Overall, just letting the market forces do their work. Keep in mind that GameStop shares were oversold short (more shares short than existed in circulation;) the cap of 100% assumes the maximum short selling saturation versus buyers and the host company's capacity to issues more shares (subsequent offerings for raising cash.) 

For GameStop, the optimal situation is to issue more shares if the weighted cost of capital is too high (pay off debt to improve cash flows) the shares would increase in value as there would be a better net value for the company; even if there is a new project such as online storefront for gaming. 

Why? Do you have a better formula?

We Need a Digital Dollar to Counter China, Says Rep. McHenry

 https://youtu.be/g6ufVTJfe2s


*the only way it would work is if the dollar equaled one dollar. there is already a digital coin pegged to the dollar: usdc, busd *(binance usd pegged coin) and usdt (how ever much trust there is in tether left.) it would be a shame if the pegged digital currencies of today appreciated all because of a mismatch that the federal reserves crypto coin would be (presumably fed coin.) There is a chance it would fail because there might be just enough dishonesty with physical cash that is pacifies the local players in any social system. I wonder what congress, the IRS, and the world bank would do? (besides their bosses in "high rooms" of counting everything in the world (yes, that is a physiological disorder.)

tonyotag's reply: ?? depaltform what?? [I do not know if you are commenting on the right video]You do realize that the electric ports can be programed and made to transfer more information from the vehicle to whoever wants to know where you are or where you have been to (besides your smartphone?) Therefore the central point of making an interconnected network of people tracking is just a paranoia of a few individuals *(human or not human) that always want to win at what we humans think as investing or decision making.

by G90

@tonyotag I thought we were agreeing; I was trying to reinforce your point. But now, I honestly can't tell. My point is, you can't remotely track or disable a 1970 GMC truck. But you can do that to a Tesla. In a world where deplatforming is becoming commonplace, this centralization of control over cars (and access to mobility) should concern us.

tonyotag reply: 
ok, sure.
keep in mind that there are plenty of innovations that are patented and not even patented that can stop or harm a 1970's GMC truck (it would stop the combustion process; even with no electronics of the 21st century embedded.)
