This is my approach.
I have hubris. But also some self-awareness.
20-50% into broad market indexes. 50-70% into messing around and generic picks.
Of my own picks, only a few have outperformed the s&p50p. Some are... not good. If I happen to find another nvidia I'll be very happy. If I don't, I'll be able to retire at a not unreasonable age.
Yeah... I'm pretty sure the white space is part of the spec for a QR code.
I think the actual take is probably closer to "I wish we went back to a time when record companies would take a bet on anyone, regardless of the overall package, looks etc"
Which tbh, is probably more of a fairy tale view of years olden days than anything else.
I'm really curious if they can make video injection of ads cost effective.
It feels like mangeling video streams into one, potentially re-encoding the video as they go... sounds expensive
Sounds reasonable. Why not both? Both sound good.
It is the standard. Now. Currently.
If you don't like it, might I suggest a guillotine or several. Worked for the French.

A former sitting president has been indicted, if not convicted of this very crime. You'll have to excuse me if I don't believe it's that uncommon.
It can just be flipped on it's head;
How are you going to enforce taxing on value, the person can just cite whatever value they want for the asset.
I said investors
This would effectively lock out every small investor
But sure, now we're just insulting each other, I'm going to ignore that and try to answer your point.
TBH. US tax is weird as fuck, and I don't know nearly enough about it to have more than a high level discussion on it. In my head, this would simply change when you're paying taxes, as opposed to how much.
But.... Nope. Tried to reason about it, can't think of a nice clean way out. It's friday afternoon. I'm out.
What is your alternative solution to the over all problem?
You said small investors not Wallstreetbet degenerates.
Someone here has made a false assumption. In fact, I'm pretty sure we both have made several. The question is who has made a fatal false assumption? Let's go.
My root comment, at the top of all of this, was my idea that perhaps we should consider gains "realized" when they are sold OR used as a collateral in a loan.
Your assertion is that it would wipe out small investors.
I would question how many small investors are using their small investments as collateral in a loan?
In other words: Advertising works.
