That's a pretty short term view though, no? Presumably if an expected revenue stream does not generate flow to supplant the initial capital outlay, said business will not be a going concern for long?

I'm not defending subscription models at all, they're corrosive to the economy, but your comment had me curious.

I definitely don't recommend that you look up Tidal downloaders that allow users to keep the music they want from the service. You definitely don't want to build a whole digital library that way.

100%

Your local library usually has a host of FREE media types. Including regular ol books, which thankfully still remain ad-free.

(But also movies, and digital readers, and news articles, etc).

People treat it like a mistake, but the Emperor has no clothes and people are catching on.

I don't disagree, but it's the whole REASON the SEC was created in 1934.

If anyone needed further proof of end-stage capitalism, it's this goddamn insistence on regressive everything.

Anything deemed "Too Big To Fail" is also a national security risk. Nationalize the whole firm, send the executives off with whatever loot they already have, and ironclad legalese to prevent them from ever setting foot in a financial market again.

Great. Now how about Citadel's $65 Billion in securities sold but not purchased? Just kickin that can, eh?

Hard to see how the SEC and DTCC aren't complicit.
