We're all Spartacus

posted by [personal profile] sbisson at 03:28pm on 06/06/2005
Conversations in Another Place have led to realise that if we're all Spartacus (or Brian, for that matter), then supply of Spartaci must have exceeded demand a long time ago. Which means that Spartaci are now a commodity. But after the current Spartaci bubble ends, there'll have to be a bust.

In which case, anyone for a Spartacus Futures Market?

But how do you short Spartacus, or sell Spartacus derivatives?

you short Spartacus by nailing him up and chopping off the legs of course! The legs then become derivatives to sell on...

No, you use a short sword.

Is this some kind of a dot com thing? I never heard of a bubble caused by supply far outstripping demand.

This has me laughing! As somebody who used to work broker-to-broker, borrowing and lending stock to cover short positions, NEVER sell short.

OH, the horror stories I could tell about people who foolishly sold short!
