@lucifargundam to give you an idea the 6X scale of belladonna in these eyedrops means that for every 1 ml of belladonna there one **million** milliliters of water. A one to a million ratio.... not extracting any belladonna from this, just water.

@lucifargundam I see you dont know what homeopathic actually means.

The ingredients say belladonna but there is no actual belladonna in it. Homeopathy is scam/bullshit that water has "memory".. so they take a microscopic drop of belladonna (atomic scales) and add it to a huge container of water, then dump out most of the water and fill it again, or take a single drop of that water and add it to another tank. It is diluted to the point that you probably couldn't even detect actual belladonna in it if you tried.

It is literally just water, as is all homeopathic products.

A project I did a while back for shits and giggles was a neural network that learned off random photos what natural coloring looked lik for various objects and faces. Then you could feed it random black and white photos and it would try to color them. Only spent a few days on it for fun, and as you can see the results were not perfect (had some artifacts). but the results were surprisingly good if you ignore the blemishes.

@lupyuen nice, ir eally love these high density color displays that are cheap as hell floating around. so much fun!

FUCK! The eyedrops I ordered just came in and I go to look at the ingredients and I see "Belladonna 6X" and im just like.. well that is a weird ingredient for eye drops, that shit is extremely toxic...then i realize, FUCK this is some homeopathic sca medicine... Cant believe I gave these snake oil salesman money for this shit.. I literally bought the most expensive bottle of water (0.5 fluid ounces) ever sold! I really need to check labels more BEFORE I order online.

They need to require all homeopathic products to have a big sticker on it that says "this shit is a sca"

A shout out to the two animals I rescued the last few years angel (the pupper) and mouse (the kittums). Both passed but they were loved at the end!

the truth is the best way to be screwed on the stock market is to be predictable en masse. Having everyone agree to artificially inflate the price by buying like crazy has predictable market results and that means anyone can bet against them and make a fortune at their expense long-run.

In fact the only reason brokers are stopping short-sales at all is because if they let other people sell short then thre is less stock for **them** to sell short. I have no doubt that while all of us are blocked from short sales every broker and hedge fun out there is probably going short on every single stock they can get, most of which are probably shorting the very stocks these people are buying to inflate prices.

Its basically just hundreds of thousands of people just handign piles of money to brokers at this point out of "spite" and thinking they won something.

@icedquinn

@icedquinn

Ok so they didnt go bankrupt at all then (I just checked no news they went bankrupt)

@swiley

@denza252

I envy the people short selling honestly. If shorts werent frozen i would be short selling like mad.. they are going to make a FORTUNE and all from the pockets of whoever thingks buying overpriced stocks is going to do something... the longer they keep it up the more the cashout on the short at the end will be.

In fact I wouldnt be suprisised if the hedge funds are playing the redditors like fools and were the ones who started the trend and got everyone buying shit up in the first place just so they could make a fortune off their shorts.

@icedquinn

@denza252

yea they have mostly either restricted short sells, or put the maintenance margin at 100%, but of the three brokers I use none of them had a complete freeze.

@icedquinn @georgia

@icedquinn which one specifically, cant find any in the news.

@swiley

@swiley

Short selling is the best way to make sure you minimize drawdown on any strategy. Its important not to avoid it.

If you are scared of shortselling then buy up leveraged short ETFs, its technically a long buy for you but effectively the same as a short, the shorting is just handled by the security and not by you.

@icedquinn

@icedquinn

doubtful they would have to buy more and more over time to keep the price high.. I doubt people could maintain that for weeks on end, and the longer they maintain it the more money the people shorting will make when it stops... so it really makes no sense as a tactic your basically just handing them your money in the long run

@swiley

@swiley

Not at all.. I usually have 100K + in shorts all the time. There is interest on it, but its actually very low, not super high like you suggest at all. a few percentage points in a whole year at most.

@icedquinn

@georgia

well yea to a point, but thats just robin hood then, fuck them, never liked them anyway.

@icedquinn

@icedquinn

Ahh then yea i can see why that could be a problem.. though as I said seems on my end of the three borkers I used they only froze short selling and none of them froze anything else (you could still exist shorts, buy long, and sell long)... So really not sure what any of that would accomplish, those who went short would make a killing by just waiting.

@georgia

@swiley

Yea but waiting it out doesnt sound like a big issue, they can just wait it out and make even more of a fortune..

If everyone is buying to inflate the price so they cant exit their short position the logical thing to do is **not** to exit their short position but rather buy **more** short positions.. eventually people will run out of interest, time, or money and stop buying and the artificial inflation will drop back down.. Everyone who bought would have lost a ton, and everyone who held their shorts (and especially those who entered into even more shorts) would have made an absolute fortune..

So no need to artificially block teh markets at all, the "tactic" used by others to buy stocks would only help(significantly so) those who were shorting in the long run.

@icedquinn

@icedquinn

I need more info to judge, but freezing in the face of high volatility isnt a crime its standard.. but it seems there is more to it i need to know before i excuse it.

@georgia

@georgia

I'm not entierly convinced who is corrupt here yet, still catching up.. sounds like the accusation is both sides are doing their own version of a pump-and-dump scheme which would be illegal on both sides if true.

Generally when stock prices go above a certain volatility it is common for them to be frozen as well, so regardless of if everyone is acting legally or not, the effect of both/eitehr sidemeans a very high volatility and freezing short sales (and sometimes even long buys) is very common and standard when that happens.
