The absurdity of a stop loss - page 6

 
paukas:

I remember under the old regime trading radishes by the metro.

There were no stop-losses. And the swaps were only a cop's threepenny.


and the greengrocers were selling greens by the underground?
 
sanyooooook:

He would rather throw it away than sell it at a loss, throwing it away means forgetting about the position, but not closing it at a loss.


That's a neat little wrap ))))

And you're right, don't get hung up on words.

 
Mischek:

I think speculating on flowers is an outrage.
Speculating on anything at all is an abomination.
 
Mischek:

I think it's an outrage to speculate on flowers. They grow on their own, with rain and sunshine on top. But there are wives who pick them, take them to the market and stand there with them all day long until they wilt. What's the police looking at?


Do you buy flowers for your wife? Or do you pick them in the fields?

Do you have indoor flowers?

 
Europa:


Do you buy your wife flowers or do you pick them in the garden?

Do you have houseplants?


Leave me alone with your flowers. It's forbidden to advertise flowers here. You miserable speculator. I'm going to complain
 
abolk:
it's disgusting to speculate on anything at all.


speculating on what? selling flowers is as much a business as selling ice cream or.... um... newspapers.

I'm not talking about tobacco or alcohol kiosks

 
Europa:


Do you buy your wife flowers or do you pick them in the garden?

Do you have houseplants?

That's a losing proposition. They wither and you throw them away. It's better to buy radishes from Paukas.
 
Mischek:

Leave the flowers alone. You can't advertise flowers here. You miserable speculator. I'll complain


If the flowers are grown by the vendor, it's not speculation.

the fsr isn't speculating on dollars.

 
Mischek:

Get lost with your flowers. It's forbidden to advertise flowers here. You miserable speculator. I'll complain.

I'm going, I'm leaving, it's a bit of a flubbery, go ahead and flub without me.
 
Tantrik:

and the greengrocers were selling herbs by the underground?
Radishes, onions, parsley, dill. But that was back in Soviet times.
