Re:Netflix is creating a problem by cancelling TV shows too soon on Wednesday October 14, 2020 @11:01AM (#24777265)
One of my favorite series (S1).

Good observation the lack of sex and violence in the second one. Could be true. I thought the new "sleeve" actor killed the second. The one in the first season was much much more convincing.

"The problem is in the software (the driver) which you never can buy, only license under a long list of conditions which prohibit specific uses."

Well, buying and licensing are not so different in Europe (first sale doctrine). The company can not forbid you to resell a license (Exhaustion of intellectual property rights) in Europe.

I don't get it. Reminds me of a blog post were the guy discussed a Portuguese stock, construction industry if my memory does not fail me, that has a "very low" trading volume.

When I looked up the stock, (I think the stock was very expensive), trading volume was like 1 Share every 6 months or so. Yes, I guess you could call this "very low" trading volume. So where would HTF come in here?

Would you be so kind to explain to me in what way a HTF can provide "liquidity", especially liquidity that would not be there in the first place?

By the way, since the tremendous inflow of cash into index ETF, some stocks are bascially traded only by ETFs and HTF without many other market participants. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
