Look in the general sense that retail traders lose money you are right but that applies to all markets, sports betting and casinos. However I and many of my friends live in houses paid for with profits made from futures trading and none of us have inside info or supply commodities. It takes discipline, skill, risk management, emotional management and drive to make it happen but it does happen.
Can’t wait to see what they release. There is apparently so much doubt against them that this isn’t even news. Like nobody knows or cares this is happening. If this was listed on polymarket it seems this would be trading at like 5 cents. I’d buy it too purely bc I think that’s way too cheap. No idea if that independent evaluator is legit or not. If true though wow what a game changer. I’m pulling for them.
Do the db guys at your company help you optimize queries and table set up at all? Ours basically don’t at all. Their job is to maintain the db apparently and us devs are left to handle this and it seems wrong. I’ve been partitioning tables and creating indexes the past few weeks trying to speed up a view and running explain analyze and throwing the results in Gemini and my queries are still slow af. I had one sql class in college, it’s not my thing. Seems like if dbas would spend a few minutes with me asking about the data and what we are trying to do they could get this guys results relatively easily. Am I wrong?
“Manipulation” is what? You want to create a rule that says a firm can’t buy more than x shares/dollars/% in a certain amount of time? Or if it does it has to hold onto those shares for a minimum time? A firm should be able to buy as much as it wants, subject to its margin requirements, and then sell whenever it wants, be it one second, one minute, one hour, one day…later.
I’m not sure you are seeing it clearly..or have any trading experience whatsoever. They took substantial risk. There is always someone bigger so if they were wrong they could have been buried. Then they reversed. If there are allegations of insider trading or collusion or something else then I’m ready to pile on but I don’t see anything here.
Grid-tied inverters only push power if it senses the grid. It’s a standard feature and has been around for years. Off grid inverters push no matter what. The situation you fear is somebody not knowing what kind they have and just plugging it in.
Can you share your before and after bills? How long til you break even? What happens if you push 800w but your home is only using 300w? Without a clamp on main panel I don’t think it’s smart enough to know to push only 300 so does 500 go to the grid?
I’m confused what ecoflow says. The Utah law says it must be a UL certified device. Ecoflow says something about not needing to wait for UL standard. Are they talking about the same thing? Or is ecoflow saying don’t need to wait for a UL standard for a receptacle but their micro inverter is UL certified?
