quote:These are contradictory statements, and considering our brief interactions thus far, I don't think you fully understand what an intelligent conversation is. Mutual respect is required for intelligent conversation to stop it from degrading to ridicule and defensiveness. You've thus far failed to show you are willing and/or able to engage in intelligent conversation, as seen here:
If I'm being honest I don't care about your respect. We can still have an intelligent conversation though.

Ah yes, everyone is corrupt and Lacy was railroaded.
Let's just ignore the driver who said he had to pull over to avoid a head on collision with a reckless driver and the dozen or so people who gave eyewitness accounts that a "green charger" caused the accident.
:rolleyes:
That is why I informed you I shall be polite: I intend to avoid ridiculing you. But since you put words in my mouth, used a snide emoticon, and attempted to mock me for a position I do not even hold, then I reasonably expect no intelligent conversation from you and thus do not respect you. You don't have to care, but you don't get the right to say you seek intellligent conversation, either.
You may be right about your position, but you've failed to explain why. And as of right now, I'm not sure if it is worth my time to ask questions or attempt to discuss this further, so I'll just wish you a pleasant night and get back to my business.

quote:This is irrelevant to my point. My point is that she either is reacting to Lacy, at which point he is at fault OR she is not reacting to him but to a situation, the truck in front of her braking, that her negligence did not give her time and/or space to react to. Again, I'm not a lawyer, so I can't say legally who is partially or completely at fault with either situation. And all of that is why I am not 100% on your sentence I quoted.
The driver of the truck is on video saying he slowed down and pulled to the side to avoid a car coming "head on".
Side note, if you're referencing the body cam video of the witness at his home, I couldn't make out most of what he was saying, so I can only take your word for that (not that it changes my issue).
quote:If you're going to put words in my mouth, understand that while you will receive politeness from me, you will have lost my respect.
Ah yes, everyone is corrupt and Lacy was railroaded.
I'm trying to look at the full body of evidence and withhold judgment until I have that. Evidence shows the woman lied, evidence shows Mr. Ory isn't providing all the details, and evidence shows the state trooper did not acquire a signed witness statement from the truck driver (presumably because the witness did not approve of 1 or more parts of said statement, but again, a presumption). As a result, I don't fully trust any of them and want more evidence to determine the truth.
And yes, there were other witnesses, but witnesses are often not reliable, especially when they have been discussing the event with each other and influencing each other's testimonies in that way. So again, I would like more before I make up my mind. Do you begrudge me for that?
quote:I'm not 100% on this. The woman was doing close to 50 mph according to the portions of the DA's investigation that Mr. Ory released. The crash occurred more than 100 yards beyond a 40 mph speed limit sign she had passed, and the truck in front of her was doing about 30 mph. If, then, she isn't reacting to Lacy being in her lane, then it seems her swerving is due to her own negligence because she did not give herself enough time and/or space to react to the vehicle in front of her. I am not a lawyer, so this makes it difficult for me to determine overall fault.
Did she swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid the truck because of the Dodge Challenger? Yes.
We need to see the DA's full report (with private information redacted) to understand what happened. The woman who hit Mr. Hall lied about her speed, so her statements are questionable. The state trooper apparently tried to adjust a witness's statement, (which the witness refused to sign) which hurts the integrity of his investigation. Mr. Ory has released selective information from the report to support his defense while leaving the rest on the cutting room floor. The most objective source may be the full DA investigation report, or at least it can provide more information.
Speaking of information, did the donut shop or the Dollar General not have security cameras that could've caught the incident? We don't have any released videos properly showing the accident, let alone the other lane of traffic.

This may be the guy's blog.
His second to last post, NYU is a Mob Front, matches what is being reported was on the flyers he threw around.
And in case something happens to the blog, an archived version of his last post, I have set myself on fire outside the Trump Trial.

I was inspired by MD's sausage and cabbage. Also made roasted butternut squash and spicy tomato rice. Not sure why, but I figured MD might appreciate me serving it up on plates I got from my grandmother.
re: Michael Burry calls passive investments/index funds a bubble
Posted by Omada on 9/8/19 at 3:32 pm to LSURussian
I think he's talking about a bubble caused by indiscriminate buying of relatively unknown stocks because of index investing rather than fundamentals. Thanks Sherlock, you say, but the issue comes when people, particularly the index holders but also the derivatives traders/holders tied to the indices, want out. The lack of popularity means it will be hard finding buyers of those relatively unknown stocks, so they'd crater, regardless of their fundamentals, just to find buyers. The longer we wait for such selling, the harder it'll be to find buyers for the unpopular stocks because Moody's projects passive investing to overtake active in 2021.
If he's right and if I understand, the big, well-known names would probably be more secure ("AAPL at $150? Buy, buy, buy!!")*. Of course, then there would be lots of good value picks in those smaller stocks, so :nana:
*Who here is paying attention to AAPL, AMZN, XOM, BRK, V, T, etc? Now who is paying attention to #350 by weight in the S&P 500, HOLX? #400, LW? #450, KSS? #296, MTD? Go through the S&P 500 components, and you'll see a lot of names you don't recognize. You'll recognize even less in the Russell 2000.

You're right. I'm just trying to understand how a bank/mortgage broker could tell someone with a straight face that a house interest rate is double digits. About to close on my 3rd house since 2004 and the rate will be around 4%. We haven't gone over 5% on any of them.
Not trying to be a dick, but stating that high interest rates back then was due to “pure greed” doesn’t say good things about you. First, it shows you don’t understand how interest rates are determined; second, it shows a lack of trust in your fellow human beings generally or those in business/banking specifically; and third, you could’ve easily found out why with a Google search instead of putting your foot in your mouth. Since I’m here, I’ll attempt to rectify the first issue.
Interest rates are determined by the federal funds rate. Here is an explanation of the federal funds rate from Investopedia, but a short version is that it’s the rate at which banks lend to each other overnight and is set by the Federal Reserve based on economic conditions such as, but not limited to, inflation. Inflation was quite high back then, as you can see from this chart of historical inflation rates by year. The Federal Reserve was trying to get inflation under control, so the FFR was likewise high as can be seen in this chart of the federal funds rate. People and businesses don’t get to borrow at the FFR because of the risks involved; instead, people and businesses borrow at the FFR plus whatever excess the bank deems necessary based on risk analysis.
It's worthwhile to mention that the FFR does not merely affect what interest rates banks charge but also the interest rates banks pay on deposits. As Jag_Warrior mentioned, you could get 12-15% on CD's back then. From 2009 through 2015, however, savings accounts paid 0.01% because the FFR was 0-0.25% then.
