mjr__: but that is the point
mjr__: QE infinity and beyond
mjr__: i honestly think it may even be a partly subconscious effect whereby without concsciously realizing it, you know that saving is stupid when the value goes down so rapidly
mjr__: yes, but it is the system that makes savers into suckers
mjr__: i was saying that as i kept my finger on the buy button, following goldman sach's modus operandi...tell people to do the exact opposite of what you plan on doing, and have them pay you for the "service"
mjr__: no one ever went broke taking profits...sell sell sell
mjr__: and i saw a picture of sergey brin on the subway in nyc wearing them
mjr__: the new video was awesome
mjr__: yeah i need google glass
mjr__: so you underwrite and marketmake?
mjr__: i really wouldn't care if i found out i ate pork when i thought it was only beef
mjr__: what i don't understand is that they eat horse meat when it's labeled horse
mjr__: i wanna get into the private equity game lol
mjr__: or do you just list
mjr__: at this point i mean
mjr__: do you do underwriting mircea?
mjr__: haven't seen that yet
mjr__: at the very least gross profit
mjr__: i am curious if you could use blockchain analysis to get an accurate NPV of S.DICE dividends
mjr__: ah, good idea too, if you were to allow me to lend my btc out for margin on people it could work in the same system...but again, need very robust risk controls
mjr__: and if it reaches the point where they would be insolvent, they should be autoliquidated
mjr__: if their account approaches insolvency they should get a margin call
mjr__: yes exactly, i don't want to rely on trusting them to return shares and be solvent
mjr__: some risk monitoring system
mjr__: exactly, i don't care who they are, i would rather trust mpex or coinbr than an individual person, provided that there is an autoclose out feature and there account is liquid enough to be able to buy back
mjr__: if they are right and the short position works, i can increase my position for cheaper, if they are wrong, i get my original shares back anyway, and still rely on dividends
mjr__: my whole point is that i want to increase my long position, but i don't want to buy at market, so if people want to sell at market, and then have to cover, i can buy back my own shares
mjr__: even better win, if they win the bet, i can double down
mjr__: ie. i can just leave my shares in that pool, but i specificy that my term will expire before dividends
mjr__: i meant a more automated system, yes Jurov and collects a portion of the interest or fees i generate
mjr__: but instead of BTC or USD, S.DICE and S.MPOE
mjr__: mircea_popescu: I would rather have my shares in a pool for lending with the understanding that the guy has to have assets to back it up. Similar to bitfinex's system
mjr__: you COULD, but there is no escrow
mjr__: and i could have my shares which are just sitting there earn extra income
mjr__: so others could short
mjr__: i think it would be awesome if we could lend our shares out on mpex...with an escrow feature of some sort
mjr_: but still, why does everyone use them, when it is known that they suck
mjr_: i have to say that godaddy's superbowl commercial and subsequent ad campaign was probably the most successful campaign of any internet company
mjr_: mircea_popescu that is true
mjr_: AAPL Shall rise again!
mjr_: where is bitfunder located?
mjr_: i like the simplicity of mpex
mjr_: i think bitfunder is starting to look pretty attractive, though I think mpex still has the best stocks
mjr_: anyway, i hope we get more shares, i'm just curious as to how that would work...if he puts them out higher than last tranche
mjr_: but i talked to him friday
mjr_: he was traveling i think
mjr_: ie. there may be more shares being put on the market?
mjr_: oh, what are the plans now?
mjr_: you can make money in options, but the premiums you pay are usually pretty high
mjr_: eh, hard to see a scenario where mpoe loses a signifigant amount of money
mjr_: so i get these for dividends, and i just hold them
mjr_: i know that mpoe makes money, cuz i see the spreads on options and i see the shares being bought and sold
mjr_: i know that S.DICE makes money, cuz i see the blockchain
mjr_: and i am fine with that...if you don't really believe in your position, get out when the price moves "for no reason"
mjr_: and if you don't think that these markets, including mt. gox aren't manipulated constantly, then you haven't been watching
mjr_: i don't buy them to lose money...
mjr_: so someone buys options and futures
mjr_: i have given up trying to make sense of other people, i in fact have stopped caring what price these stocks trade at, i just want dividends each month lol
mjr_: what i don't understand is why people would raise the price the day after dividends
mjr_: so you could say it controls it
mjr_: it makes the market in most options
mjr_: and yes, i think the bot is called MPOE
mjr_: shorter month...and that one guy hit very nicely...but still overall not a big hit, i kinda hope it spurs on more gambling now that people see how much money you can make
mjr_: looking forward to earnings for S.DICE...i kinda expect a small gain over last month...but not sure
mjr_: guess not, i will scoop up as much as possible lol
mjr_: i think it's awesome, i thought that they would price the future value of dividends into the stock price
mjr_: most backward prices ever...mpoe and sdice are both get cheaper the closer to dividends they get
mjr_: they were like, no way i will buy the day before i get money, too much work, let's buy after
mjr_: do people try to avoid the accounting headache of dividends?
mjr_: i commented on it earlier
mjr__: Ukto are you doing ziggap or bitfunder?
mjr__: i really have nothing but good things to say about coinbr
mjr__: was curious what that was exactly
mjr__: oh yeah, jurov, when i got mpoe dividends it listed a positive fee...
