"Worried about a bubble? Could I interest you in a ponzi instead?"

With the direct indexing products many brokerages have rolled out lately, you can now also create your own subset, superset and/or re-weighting of an index and invest in that.

I've been visiting the Vasa every few years for 3 decades and there has never been a time when museum goers were allowed onto or into the ship. I haven't been to Stockholm since the start of the Covid pandemic but I very much doubt that has changed.

They do have some rooms on the side with mock-ups of some of the ship's quarters - maybe that is what you are remembering?

It's funny because I also had this memory of walking around inside the ship when I visited the museum as a child. A few years ago when I visited again I realised it must had been the interior mockups I remember.

Ah, might have been a mockup I remember - the ceilings were quite low and the floor very angled.

It's a sign of how good the mockup and whole museum was that I remember it being better than it actually was.

Perhaps there is no difference. https://journal.sjdm.org/15/15923a/jdm15923a.pdf

The people farming the healthy food are not a big enough voting bloc for this to happen.

Are trading blackout windows enforced in any way other than threat of dismissal? I don't think there's any external repercussions to trading during an applicable blackout, and trading on NPMI is illegal regardless of whether it is done in or out of a window.

Usually the broker that handles RSUs for the company automatically does this. They’ll prevent you from doing such trades. You could still technically use a different broker and buy/sell but that’s probably blatant insider trading.

It is only insider trading if you are basing your trades on insider information. If your only reason for selling is “I just got laid off and need the cash” then you should be fine

With a mortgage, the side-lined young people who couldn't afford a house at 3.5% interest rate still can't afford the same house after a 10% price drop at 5.5% interest rate.

More than this, you can have the funds in your brokerage account backing cash-secured puts. I'm not sure if Robinhood allows their customer to write options, so that may not be the case here.

More perspective:

- A year ago 1B USDT would have been more than 5% of it's market cap.

- A year ago 1B USDC would have been 33% of it's market cap, today it is 2.5%.

A lot of stablecoin mintage has occurred over the past year.

I last had this happen 4 years ago at a pharmacy that was having network issues. But now I no longer have any cards with embossed letters so the imprinting fallback would not longer work for me. I supposed they could fill in the slip manually which seems equivalent to a card-not-present transaction but without the instant confirmation?

Can confirm; I had a slip filled in manually when the computer system was down and my card lacks embossing.
