@drvolts A few years ago UCLA did a study on room usage. I often think about how useless a porch/dining room is. Why hasn't there been more innovation around how people ACTUALLY use their space in their homes? wsj.com/articles/SB100…

So, yeah, I do a lot of Zillow surfing to relax. And some of the design choices of contemporary homes baffle me. This house has something 99% of new houses are missing: a mud room! Who wants to tromp straight from outside into a living room? zillow.com/homes/for_sale…

@Finumus1 Obviously my view is the same as yours, but I don't think they are (all) idiots. Growth has gone nowhere for 20 years and real incomes are stagnant. Meanwhile billionaire oligarchs multiply and it's clear wealth is being generated somewhere. Their GDP doubts are not surprising.

@Finumus1 Not much love for LSE and Imperial in these comments... are we assuming that they are bringing down the Oxbridge premium then? (I doubt they do… though they are idiosyncratic in different ways. Imperial is alpha nerd, LSE is connections alpha…))

Gold has been killing it for UK investors for *checks notes* 30 years (!) but its returns are highly sensitive to your chosen start date… monevator.com/gold-an-asset-…

This is why kids believe in bat-shit lefty nonsense, they've never experienced economic growth, they think the system we have is capitalism and doesn't deliver growth.
Owen Winter@OwenWntr

Part of the issue is a lack of growth. A recent study showed cohorts who experience more GDP growth in their lifetimes are more likely to trust the government and have positive perceptions of their living standards. academic.oup.com/qje/advance-ar… In Britain, such voters are dying out

@Finumus1 @freddienew @Meds79 You are not going to be able to buy crypto ETNs in ISAs from April - except in Innovative Finance ISAs, if you're that one guy who has one of those You may *have* to sell existing holdings too, as the OP suggests You will still be able to own them GIAs AIUI

IMPORTANT: Anyone in the U.K. that managed (like me) after much persistence to get IBIT into their ISA. It’s worth knowing, that unlike last time that #Bitcoin ETFs were banned, when the positions were set to “sell-only” - they will now be force liquidated - according to my broker. With MSTR at this narrow an mNAV it looks like the best alternative without exploring Innovative finance ISA’s.

Warren Buffett once said: “I am a better investor because I am a businessman and a better businessman because I am an investor” I’m sure that’s true Similarly, I believe I’m a better citizen because I’m an active investor too monevator.com/active-investo…

If you're going to buy back $400m of your stock then I suppose it doesn't hurt to tank the price of said stock first (Disclosure: long a little bit of $DUOL)
