selling some of his Bitcoin holdings while buying the call options
This kind of hedging strategy is EXACTLY what call and put options are for. Repeat after me: Options are a hedging strategy and not an investment by themselves.
If this was a story about someone who had sunk all their savings into options as an "investment" then yes, it would be a fool-parted-from-money story, but it isn't.
Cuba has never been communist any more than China or Russia. They have always been ruled by a moneyed power elite. That's not Communism, it's capitalism dressed up as Communism. It is essentially jumping straight to late-stage capitalism without enjoying any of the benefits of the early or middle stages.
This is a typical mistake, to confuse a type of economic system (capitalism) with a type of government (oligarchy), mainly due to being misnamed 'communism' in the above examples.
an older friend shared an insight with me, that it is the young people who have all the vitality, energy and enthusiasm. the younger people are the ones that will be creating the wealth and (directly or indirectly) looking after the older generation
In classic economics the theory is that the older generation who have accumulated wealth during the energy and enthusiasm of their youth then spend it on being cared for by the new generation. Your assumption seems to be that the first generation did not save any wealth yet it's somehow the responsibility of the next generation to simultaneously generate their own wealth right away and care for the prior generation?
Yeah, but the author's idea of 'stolen' is pretty much anything they do not like. The author (and site) single out health services as esp evil and 'destroying the youth'.
When the football team coaches are paid in the millions (the top 25 coaches' salaries are 5M+) then yes, money for supposedly class tuition is being stolen.
Last time I was in NYC I had the exact opposite problem. Sit down restaurant, linen tablecloths... cash only. No sign or warning at all until after eating and being told 'we don't accept anything except cash'. There I was with cards only. Had to borrow from the friends I was with. No idea what I would have done if I had been alone or none of us had cash.
Chinese pronunciation is the only weird thing about the language. Otherwise, there are no irregular verbs mainly because verbs aren't conjugated in the first place. There's no gender assignment to any words like in French or Spanish. The sentence order is like basic English structure: subject - verb - object.
If you go live there full time it's fairly easy to learn to speak.
So, like Japan? Not organized? Japan is the epitome of "organized".You're a fool.
What are you babbling about? Japanese consumers do not have a unified credit score like the US but they definitely do have credit reporting with the bank and similar financial institutions they use.
Does this assume that the country from which the immigrant originates is sophisticated enough to have credit scores? Does it assume that an immigrant already in the US and applying for citizenship already has a work authorization and is building a US credit score?
to give one seat away? Pending someone being physically fit enough
Can you even imagine the outcry? Official Federal government space trip lottery tickets for sale, no fatties. How many no-no's does that tick off... Non-ADA compliant... body shaming... probably someone would even make it out to be racist.
A group of counterfeiters had a problem with their printing press and it started print $18 bills. So they figured they'd go to the local Walmart and ask for change. The Walmart person said, "Sure, how do you want it? Three sixes or two nines?"
And then there was the guy who went to Walmart and tried to pay with a $2 bill. Got the cops called on him by the clueless employees.
Seriously, you might think you're so cool by annoying the other users but I for one am concerned for your health. Do you need medication or some other kind of help? It isn't normal to paste that stuff into every article.
Their property taxes will skyrocket and thousands of new people will be in walking distance to the starbucks, mcdonalds or other chains that take their place.
What chains, exactly, is the guy in the article worried about? Do you think managerial level people are going to pass his boutique barbershop to go look for a SuperCuts?

Since when does being officially licensed in Russia and China mean "independent" any more than the other OSes?
that claim politicians, celebrities and other leading figures were "sexually abusing and consuming the remains of children, often in satanic rituals.
Seriously, if you think this is true then really isn't it a case of not getting your medication more than a problem with youtube?
Too much bukkake, not enough creampie.
Wrong...

and fines up to 2 percent of a company's global turnover
Assuming it is in their jurisdiction to get such information on a global scale, what exactly is "turnover"? Is this some newspeak term for income?
"loyalty to leadership at Facebook runs deep" vs "People now have burner phones to talk shit about the company"
Which is it???

This lawsuit is going nowhere.
What are you talking about; it's going straight to the bank account of Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro.

You should try Sweden where there are no dorms. You need to try your luck on the free market to get lodging.
Sign me up for a very small apartment with several Swedish co-eds

He stole the milk because he was poor and his baby was hungry
Maybe he should have signed up for WIC instead.

Because the only other option is probably New York City, which is already full of tunnels.
New York City's union rules make California's environmental regulations look like amateur hour when it comes to holding up the works.
Boeing's future includes flying wing airliners or at least blended wing body airliners. Fuel efficiency will eventually demand it.

What do people do when they don't have the money they need?
They turn to crime.
TFA is about retirement funds. How many granny gangs have mugged you lately?
See subject: I'm so sick & tired of /. BULLIES. You shitweasels have nothing better to do than HARASS, STALK
Hypocrite. You're the most harassing, stalking bully I've ever seen on this site and I've been reading it consistently since about '98.
