2) Clearly, extra capacity. The squeeze at the pump has funny attributes. https://t.co/f7ki5gYlGi — PolitiTweet.org

FINANCE CLARITY DU JOUR: Oil & Inflation Crude was trading 20% higher in 2008. How come the price at the pump today is ~twice what is was then? Looks like the reason for the shortage lies in refineries & distribution channels, plus some hoarding, in addition to Putin's war. — PolitiTweet.org

FINANCE DU JOUR When you look at returns and drawdowns, you must use logs (see video: something up 200% then down 50% is even). As you can see with bitcoin, drawdowns in log space are deeper than seen on a normal chart. https://t.co/Zc3SkP3hUX https://t.co/09irmxarpg — PolitiTweet.org

You can make (most) human beings believe the most absurd ideas provided you manage first to convince their friends; you will fail to sway them with the most compelling arguments if you don't first persuade their closest comrades. — PolitiTweet.org

@StefanBielski @Snowden Not SITG, but conflict of interest. Sorry, I block idiots. — PolitiTweet.org

Why is @Snowden silent about this? Because his job now it to ONLY reveal things that weaken the U.S. and benefit Putin. — PolitiTweet.org

2nd stage of coping for bitcoiners: promoters will cherry-pick a past period where purchases were profitable. In finance you look at 1) DRAWDOWNS (in log), 2) Average of ALL the prices at whch promoters recommended (includes >60K). For instance MicroTragedy's average is ~31K 1/n — PolitiTweet.org

We are given the chance to watch, on Twitter, in real time, the psychological stages of people going bust . (In 2000 and 2008, there was no Twitter.) I was privileged to eyewitness such unfolding in 1987, 1994 &, especially, 1998. Someone started dressing as Napoleon, another... — PolitiTweet.org

The difference betw seasoned pple in finance (who survived) of my cohort & today's young ageist cryptidiots is not the age discrepancy; it is the fact that when I was young I put the elders over the youth.

The entire market ecology has a tough time adapting to the end of cheap (even free) money, with cash flow, rather than "valuation" being the central focus. Those who entered finance after 2008 are, basically, unskilled labor. — PolitiTweet.org

@ID_NOT_WETTE @saylor Largely end of free money. — PolitiTweet.org

If someone said "we are dumping crude oil in the Atlantic Ocean to stabilize the energy shortage", you would call a psychiatrist. So few solvent people are left to buy #PreBankruptMike @Saylor's argument "we are draining the grip to stabilize a power shortage". — PolitiTweet.org

Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb

More than 95% of the daily volume of traded Gold is moved electronically over the internet via certificates. Aside from being a traitor and now a Russian agent and Putin's fifth-column operator, @Snowden needs to take an elementary finance class. — PolitiTweet.org
