    There seems to be a correlation between people who posts as Anonymous Cowards and their inability to read or understand the article. Totally agree with you.

  5. Re: Science != Biomedical Research on Can Bad Scientific Practice Be Fixed? · · Score: 1

    It's not the first time I see physics researchers criticise others fields for not being as strict as theirs. They usually have a tendency to oversimplify the other fields without taking in consideration practical factors such as the impossibility to obtain large samples or repeat an experiment many times in the exact same conditions.

    Are you really having this argument ? It is obvious that we won't build a rail track on every road but at the same time denying that taxes will shitft some cargo towards trains and create new rail tracks does not make any sense !

    This is because you associate capitalism with evil: in many cases debt can be a useful tool. For a rich entrepreneur it can allow to diversify his exposure to a single business without realising the capital gain tax for example. For people with good ideas, it allow to allocate the capital to something with a higher return on investment. This is why finance is actually useful, it allows some allocation of money more efficiently than if you tried to do it with a single entity which becomes invariable corrupt. The post above my previous reply is totally oblivious to the fact that many of the recent changes in the last centuries are probably more due to modern economy and liberalism allowing the economy to flourish and scientific progress to be made.

    If it was only a matter of paying the right people why don't you just remortgage and pay them. There is still and element of selection and decision.

    I take it you don't take your own advice, you would have noticed that without being invested in stocks for long periods of time you would lost much to inflation. A better solution is to use defensive stocks.

  18. Re: Dividends on Stock Market Valuation Exceeds Its Components' Actual Value · · Score: 1

    There seems to be evidence that over the long term stocks oscillate around or above the company value they represent, so it is not totally stupid although a bit baffling that people buy a company which will not lay dividends and without the ability to influence any voting decisions.

    So you would prefer to live in a world where you have to pay upfront everything ? Your house would start being built when you have the full amount to buy it ? Everything would be so slow without securitisation and the fractional reserve system.

    You are right on a long scale, however gold was not very valuable during a large famine for example. At the time of a catastrophe your silver won't be worth much.

    I am not asking, I am just explaining to you why you and your reply were off-topic and a bit irrelevant in this particular case. You could talk about what happens for contractors and what happens for people who are unemployed but maybe you should read the topics you reply to in their context.
