paris. trading opportunity?

Deaths are just a cost of doing business.

I’m less confident today this incident means anything in the subtle dictatorship that is capitalism.

Scaredy, I like you and I am a fan of your posts in general — but I have to say, I also find this thread to be in pretty poor taste. I guess it’s a perspective thing. Just my two cents.

[scaredyclassic]

I suppose. Although literally every trader on the globe is thinking it through this weekend.

Just poor taste to point it out, I guess.

Post 9/11 we were all urged to shop, I recall.

[Rich Toscano]

Yeah, you are right, lots of traders are thinking about it, I suppose you are just saying what some people are thinking.

My view is that people tend to dramatically overestimated the investment implications of geopolitical events… but I guess that’s a different topic.

[scaredyclassic]

Many viewed foreclosure crisis vultures as in similarly poor taste.

[scaredyclassic]

If we admit there is a higher value than capital, the terrorists hurt us.

Indeed, if I told you I could guarantee a 100 percent return tomorrow trading on this pain and misery, it would seem absolutely unteasonable, almost inefficiently objectionable not to.

Money talks.

No thats has the topic. Is this big or little, implication wise.

And it’s not some traders. It is every last single one.

Sounds right; just over a week ago 224 died in a plane crash most likely caused by terrorism. No significant reaction.

Flight 17 shot down over Ukraine. No significant reaction.

Of course every single last trader is thinking about making money.
I learned In finance class long ago that all information is priced in. If something hasn’t been priced in yet, then there’s huge potential for money making, if you can identify what it is

I believe this is of little import, unless it’s followed by another attack
njtosd mentioned housing in 2001. Today Paris real estate is sky high so no opportunity there. Unless, the French turn against Muslim in which case people might want to sell and move away. Lots of wealthy middle easterners own French real estate.
Or the Jews in France will move to Israel (there a compain in Israel to attract them). Something to watch.

This feels different

[scaredyclassic]

The number one reason people hate America: the number one reason is because of our religion. Americans worship money, we worship money. Separate God from school, separate God from work, separate God from government, but on your money it says in God we trust. All my life I’ve been looking for God, and He’s right in my pocket.

Chris rock.

Yes this feels different. But still not on the level of fhe London bombing.

I think is feels different because France was against the Iraq war. So people are asking why France?

Not all lives are equal. Some lives have more value. Some deaths are just cost of doing business.

Russian deaths feel somehow less important. Plus nobody wants to go to war with Russia over Ukraine. But everyone wants to bomb ISIS. And once ISIS is finished, we can bomb Syria, and Iran for regime changes.

Money is power, manhood, happiness… Why shouldn’t we make it when can identify mispricing? We are helping the markets reach natural equilibrium.
