@BBallSchoILL The most athletic people on the planet playing defense, that's who.

Serious question. Why hasn’t anyone tried to make a 7ft+ tall guy a endzone target for an nfl team? Who is preventing tacko fall from catching a pass in the corner of the endzone?

Haha. First I thought he was upset, then pumped, then...oh dear

@HotDoc_Media @michaeljburry Sell after 89** days

@michaeljburry so buy SpaceX and sell after 90 days?

Must read - this is free and not me. @georgenoble/note/c-226667679?r=4repfn&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@georgenoble/n… This is the most SHAMELESS structural manipulation of a major index I've ever seen. SpaceX is preparing what could be the largest IPO in history. Target valuation: $1.75 trillion. That would make it the sixth-largest company in America on day one. And Nasdaq wants the listing so badly they're literally CHANGING how the Nasdaq-100 works. In February, Nasdaq published a "consultation" proposing sweeping changes to how companies enter the index. The timing is pure coincidence, of course. Just like it's pure coincidence that SpaceX has reportedly made fast index inclusion a CONDITION of listing on Nasdaq. Here's what they're proposing: A new "Fast Entry" rule would let any newly listed company whose market cap ranks in the top 40 of current Nasdaq-100 members get added to the index after just 15 trading days. No seasoning period. No liquidity requirements. Completely exempt from the standards every other company had to meet. Currently, new public companies typically wait up to a year before they're eligible for major index inclusion. That waiting period exists for a reason. It lets the market establish real price discovery. It protects passive investors from being forced into untested, illiquid stocks. And Nasdaq wants to throw all of that out. For ONE listing. But the Fast Entry rule isn't even the worst part... The real scandal is the 5x float multiplier. Right now, the S&P 500 uses a free-float adjusted methodology. If only 5% of a company's shares are available for public trading, the index weights you at 5% of total market cap. That's common sense. You weight a company based on what investors can actually buy. Nasdaq's current methodology already uses total market cap rather than free-float for weighting. But for very low-float stocks, they at least had a 10% minimum float threshold. Under the new proposal, that threshold DISAPPEARS entirely. Instead, any stock with less than 20% free float gets weighted at FIVE TIMES its actual float percentage, capped at 100%. Do the math on SpaceX: If SpaceX IPOs at $1.75 trillion and floats 5% of its shares, there would be roughly $87.5 billion worth of stock available for public trading. Under Nasdaq's proposed 5x multiplier, the index would weight SpaceX at 25% of its total market cap. That means passive funds would be forced to buy as if SpaceX were a $437.5 billion company. But only $87.5 billion of stock actually exists in the market. You are forcing hundreds of billions in passive buying into a $87.5 billion float. QQQ alone manages nearly $400 billion. The total Nasdaq-100 ecosystem represents over $1.4 trillion in exposure across ETFs, mutual funds, structured notes, and derivatives. Every single passive vehicle tracking this index would be REQUIRED to buy SpaceX at whatever price the market dictates. On Day 15. With zero price discovery. Zero track record as a public company. And a float so thin you could read through it. So what this actually does is it creates a structural wealth transfer mechanism. The passive bid from index funds pushes the stock price higher. That higher price benefits exactly one group of people: the insiders and early investors who own the other 95% of the shares. And when lock-up periods expire 90 to 180 days later? Those insiders sell into the artificially inflated passive bid. Your 401(k) is the exit liquidity. This is the fundamental corruption of indexing. Indexing used to be brilliant. Low cost. Efficient. You were free-riding on the price discovery done by active managers. The index reflected the market. Now the index IS the market. Trillions of dollars flow blindly into whatever the index tells them to buy. And the people who control the index methodology are changing the rules to serve the interests of a single IPO candidate. The S&P 500 requires companies to have at least…

Crime is not random Only 0.2% of people ever commit murder, yet **67% of all murders**are committed by people with prior arrests When the crime-inclined people are stopped, the crime stops. You can literally just fix crime by not tolerating people who show a history of being destructive to society. El Salvador is a great example of this

Pretty much

As I said, he's a Democrat Psy Op

Man these never ending wars 😂

@poopswag34 I guess someone should tell the rich people to stop donating more money to the Democrats than the Republicans... Or maybe you're right on a few issues but still wrong on at least one major issue.

What if I think leftists are completely right about rich people but I don’t want immigrants and don’t believe in trans people ?

Hell yes

@ElectionWiz That's because Crenshaw is one of the biggest disappointments in recent memory.

BREAKING: Rep. Dan Crenshaw is LOSING TO Steve Toth 52.8% to 43.9% with ~31% reporting for the GOP nominee for TX U.S House 2.

It’s happening. Just signed a contract for the venue for our SAVE America Tour beginning in Rapid City, South Dakota. We are coming — peacefully — to Senator Thune’s backyard. March 21st: Rapid City March 22nd: Sioux Falls

Elon Musk: "The reason for acquiring Twitter is because it was causing destruction at a civilizational level. The woke mob essentially controlled Twitter. And they were pushing a nihilistic, anti-civilizational mind virus to the world."

Dan Crenshaw just lost his house seat. All the $ and incumbent advantages couldn’t save him from primary voters who’ve had enough of all talk politicians. Republican voters want action and they’re tired of the establishment. This is the 1st of many. Only action can save them!

Here is a very normal chart that we shouldn't debate or scrutinize in any way.

@ComicDaveSmith When completely corrupt uniparty goons who love forever wars "have the wisdom not to do something", I generally assume the opposite is a good thing.

George W Bush had the wisdom to decide NOT to do this. Let that sink in.
