(trilema) mike_c: i thought you might have some insight to measures worth understanding vs. ones that are just noise.
(trilema) mike_c: mircea_popescu: well, i am trying to internalize money supply. like it seems m2 floats around 4x m1. the fed says m3 is meaningless, but others say it isn't. and i don't entirely understand m4 yet.

(trilema) mike_c: but i think it is now
(trilema) mike_c: i think it wasn't that lopsided in operation saddam
(trilema) mike_c: asciilifeform: i am thinking. but i believe this problem has been worked on over the years. like with stronger gps sats, no?

(trilema) mike_c: your definite is in some other currency.
(trilema) mike_c: right, but what is $123 in yuan
(trilema) mike_c: google: 0 mike: 1
(trilema) mike_c: see? they added a zero.
(trilema) mike_c: 22b * $123 = $2.5 T. that is pretty far off
(trilema) mike_c: that's some fuzzy math
(trilema) mike_c: look at the summary at the top. 22b shares * $123 = $225b mkt cap??
(trilema) mike_c: yeah, google's out to fucking lunch. that number is wrong
(trilema) mike_c: that number is wrong i believe
(trilema) mike_c: ;;calc 120 / (2.92 *4)
(trilema) mike_c: where yo ugetting that number? i see PTR mrq is 2.92 eps
(trilema) mike_c: unless my math is borked, that is a hefty pe for a company that big.
(trilema) mike_c: ;;calc 560 / (5.34 * 4)

(trilema) mike_c: others are proctor/gamble, novartis, and royal dutch.
(trilema) mike_c: $380b at a fking 30 p/e
(trilema) mike_c: google is the one that got me looking.
(trilema) mike_c: far as i can tell china companies have crappy pe's.
(trilema) mike_c: challenging, right? these companies shouldn't exist.
(trilema) mike_c: pop quiz (no cheating). name a company with mkt cap > $200b and p/e > 20.
(trilema) mike_c: everybody's behind schedule.
(trilema) mike_c: don't be stuck in the 90's. usability should never trump slick design.
(trilema) mike_c: you guys need to start taking the right decisions.
(trilema) mike_c: today: "we're bankrupt. I'm outta here"
(trilema) mike_c: hashfast ceo one month ago: "I joined this company a month ago because the team is amazing and we are not scammers"

(trilema) mike_c: wow, bit of a rebound
(trilema) mike_c: !t h rent
(trilema) mike_c: honestly i would rather see a btc investment that bought commodities rather than real estate. with the REITS I feel like people are expecting a BTC return. no one would think that with a commodity fund (similar to x.eur).
(trilema) mike_c: mircea_popescu: lol. i'm in!
(trilema) mike_c: "The company said it would raise $100 million, but that is just a placeholder until closer to the offering date."
(trilema) mike_c: that might be raising $100m, not the valuation
(trilema) mike_c: anybody in here have an account and try it out?
(trilema) mike_c: zero fees!
(trilema) mike_c: in the hopes that a clueless worker bee will pay it.
(trilema) mike_c: i like better the scam where they just send you a bill
(trilema) mike_c: jurov: no. dime a dozen scam. i throw those out on a weekly basis
(trilema) mike_c: and i'm sure they just a few points off for their own pockets.
(trilema) mike_c: circle does as much as it can to hide the exchange rate when you buy (from watching video)
(trilema) mike_c: zero fees = fees built into exchange rate.
(trilema) mike_c: blech. i feel another bitbet blog post coming on.
(trilema) mike_c: old skool. it should grab the json.
(trilema) mike_c: i do :) i should clean up some of my scripts and publish them sometime..
(trilema) mike_c: well, house bets are ahead. the house isn't because it gives away half the bets.
(trilema) mike_c: hah, yeah, i'm glad i didn't watch it. too much of a sweat.
(trilema) mike_c: best part of winning a bitbet: gloating in the comments.
(trilema) mike_c: sounds good
(trilema) mike_c: hm, ok, i'll make a small wager. i'm not super-confident, but i think i've got it.
(trilema) mike_c: i am predicting your announcement.
(trilema) mike_c: a prediction for later. i want proof that i called it.
(trilema) mike_c: fb95e6a6f3843ea7fe22e08d08b20ead70ee3181b363916439a7c93da9b89c0d
(trilema) mike_c: crazy. well, he'll find a paycheck somewhere.
