Yes. The deal must've went thru in some form no matter what.

Yeah I saw you shitting, impressive form

The year is 2035. Your morning alarm goes off from your Echo Hub. "Alexa: Stop," you say groggily. "Mandatory Wakeup Time initiated. Warning issued," the Echo Hub responds. You sit upright quickly. No one has ever gotten a second warning. The camera watches as you get up and take 2 pills from a dispenser with a digital reading that displays "Amazon Medication #5122." As you sit on the side of your bed holding your head and fighting nausea, the Echo begins lining you out with your new assignment: to form a "human" relationship of trust with Worker 527-655-091-530, who lives in Factory 61613, to ask him if he has any subversive leanings against the Robotic World Order, and to alert the Mechanized Patrol if he does. Of course, you're going to say that he does either way. Why risk your own life by being wrong? Being a human informant is one of the only good jobs left, and it gets you three bowls of Human Repurposing Rations a day. Part of you wishes you hadn't gone all in on AMZN on 2026 and helped the stock get to $120,000 per share. But then again, you were able to use that money to avoid being used as a human shield in the Great Robo Wars. It could be worse. "Alexa," you whisper, standing up shakily. "Permission to exit my quarters... I've got a 'friend' to make."

I sounds like we need to form a WSB not-for-profit, collect some governmetn grants, and just pay ourselves for being regarded. This trading business is too hard.

I’m bro and I’m glad you didn’t proceed to insult me. Wish you green but I’m shorting RKLB and waiting for ASTS to go higher, maybe gonna long it while my shorts aren’t working. You can check there was launched leveraged short ETF for Asts. It’s like 16$ right now. First of all the never produced one without demand and all those etf usually suck for a week or 2 ( if they short ETFs in bull market they suck) but you can check defiance ETFs launches and price history after that. IONZ, RGTZ, QBTZ we’re launched a month or 2 before quantum went down during bull market. Since it’s a total scam although less than crypto it’s down only like 100% from tops but it’s dead already on bull market. ASTS isn’t a quantum stuck and very good company etc but it’s 2500% from 2024 with no earnings next 1-2 years. In fact they sometimes ATM so yeah, it’s not NVDA since they not ATMing but if you saw what GOOG did today with bonds - it’s a form of a shit for sure.

The monies were never there… once they hit brokerage *poof* they disappear and are replaced by IOU in the form of numbers on the screen. But how many of you have recalled them, $$$?

You have to pay taxes on stolen money there's a box you can check on the IRS form

It's pretty much exactly the same. Like, yeah maybe *you* won't be alive in a hundred years, but you're betting that future generations will be, and they'll want to cash in then, especially if there's a regular coupon payout. You're also betting that Google will still be around to pay, in some form or another. The trickier thing I think is assessing an appropriate interest rate. Usually bonds like this would track to a spread on the corresponding the treasury rate, but the US doesn't have a 100-year bond so it'll be interesting to see what the market thinks the yield curve looks like out that far.

Google is lining up banks to sell a rare 100-year bond. The so-called century bond will form part of a debut sterling issuance this week.
