copumpkin: does it count
as inside trading if you work at S&P and short a market index before a ratings downgrade?

as trade yes.
usagi: But when someone buys it, it is counted
as a trade.
mircea_popescu: and because a call/put doesn't sell for 1 in general, and never sells for
as much
as the deposit is, thiswould yield less than 100 btc of trade.
mircea_popescu: usagi that's not true. splits aren't reported
as trades.
DeaDTerra1: He would if he's a lier, if he's a legit and trustworthy man

Ignatius-otc: If you end up needing anything from me
as a bond holder let me know. I'm not sure what information is being requested by pirate.
BTC-Mining: I could hardly do
as much on MPEX which only IPOs high rated companies like SatoshiDice. The price seems too stable.
BTC-Mining: Unregulated
as no one decides of what is and is not appropriate in transactions
BTC-Mining: MPEX has almost no assets, it's an options trading.
As for assets, there's S.DICE, Mpex itself, giga.etf and I think brendio's funds?
Ignatius-otc: I am referencing only your comment about mpex doesnt allow issuing new shares
as easily
as glbse
mircea_popescu: now specifically,
as to the collusion discussion, quote defrauded investor teek : " I am pretty sure even Nefario gave him the nod a few times in posts."
Ignatius-otc: By that logic BTC is horrible,
as it has a high concentration of scams...?
mircea_popescu: in the immortal words of jwu, Aug 27 17:34:17 <JWU_42> mircea_popescu:
as with so many things, niot just finance, ego becomes involved and bad decisions are made
BTC-Mining: I just have a problem with you bashing everything but MPEX randomly spouting
as fact things you haven't researched or have proof for. Like claiming GIGAMINING devalued almost 50% when it IPOed at 1 and not 1.5
mircea_popescu: i regard it
as disreputable. i might just be biased. some people regard it
as reputable. course they don't tend to disclose their ownership interest in it.
Ignatius-otc: twitter?
as proof of volume? so...the same
as glbse?
mircea_popescu:
as long
as we're making scenarios, you could have bought at 1 sold at 1.5
BTC-Mining: yes, yes... and you're completly ignoring why the price is currently low and declare it
as a linear loss of value
BTC-Mining: Possibly,
as long
as the total amount loaned from BTC-BOND is equal or less than 50% of the total amount of investments made
mircea_popescu:
as the odds of a phenomenon occuring go down, the variance in it's observation goes up. not in fixed proportion, but still, monotonous growing function.

as difficulty goes up i think time variance will also increase.
coingenuity: and i saw him do it to a bunch of other people
as well... so feh
coingenuity: mircea_popescu: cuz he gave me a negative rating with a reason ":("
as an abuse of the rating system
usagi: I could buy
as many
as 5000
usagi: mircea_popescu; That practice is known
as "ratemaking" in the insurance biz, mircea
usagi: I could just
as well sell smickles an option to buy out his fund at a certain strike price.
copumpkin: you're taking on the same risk
as a lender/investor
as an insurer
mircea_popescu:
as far
as i recall the main problem was you couldn't insure against X person cause he could just buy that insurance secretly and then default
usagi: Some of which is priveledged to me
as the guy who runs CPA
smickles:
as i'm a broker, do you offer security investor protection?

as an extinct culture if one's so inclined.
