    Maybe you make too strong a distinction between tax code and Shari’a law. While both types of opinion are an argument from authority, and in the absence of contrary evidence operate as the final vocabulary for all parties concerned, the claims are not unwarranted. They are rigorous in gathering and framing the supporting information. It's not always wrong to put faith in experts who are arguing their expertise, who have no clear incentive to lie, and who are closely connected with the relevant authorities. At least in cases where their expertise is a static social apparatus.

    It's actually kinda cool. You can negotiate practically anything, and sometimes even just kind of do stuff in the moment that you never agreed to pay for, and it goes by without much argument.

    Matt, Flexible equity-linked exchangeable preferred redeemable increased dividend equity securities. Personally I always liked the name "Snowball," which doesn't stand for anything.

    Old Mumbles you could probably pay mostly in ball taps. Sure, the proper discounting is tricky, but at a certain level it's not really about the money.

    Insider trading laws are intended to protect widows and orphans. Procter is the widow and Gamble is the orphan. Congress says that Congressional self-dealing is OK. - not PMCO but a fan of her avatars
