Small-Scale Question Sunday for January 12, 2025

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I would be all for this. Some amount of financial sophistication is needed to make sure that markets work properly, loans are available etc. but things have long since switched to a place where the vast majority of the work seems to be intra-financial ‘bigger fool’ games where the market is just betting on the market and value isn’t created but shuffled round and disguised. That expertise could be used to produce value instead.
