Comment Used Notepad++ many years. Then vi. (Score 1) 21

For many years I was a Notepad++ user on Windows; it's a good editor. Then I started using Windows and Linux side-by-side and wanted one editor across platforms. Getting Notepad++ to run under Wine or somesuch was too difficult for me. Eventually, every good computer user wakes up, bites the bullet, and switches to Vim/vi. Runs everywhere, is actually easy to use after you do the tutorial, and has many advanced options for customization and other features as you get more comfortable using it.

I guarantee the banks who lent money are going to take a bath on this. The company filed for bankruptcy, so the banks and lenders who financed this ship now own a partially completed boat with a very limited market of buyers who might want to take it, even at a substantial discount. They just want to recover whatever value they can from the boat. Banks lose money on loans all the time. That's why they charge interest rates on loans higher than government borrowing rates. The higher interest helps compensate for the fact that some loans won't be repaid.

Comment Re:Day trading, as compared to after-hours trading (Score 2) 80

Retail investors can and do participate outside of regular trading hours. I often buy shares early in the morning before much or at least some of the opening pop I expect actually occurs; and I will often have orders in after the close just in case a dumb investor comes in with a market order after hours and sells to me at a discount.
