100		"Only relevant to those with fantasy economy teams. Seriously, Rand's fictional works never translate well into reality because, no matter how hard people try, that ""fiction"" element just can't be ignored. Test it yourself: Strip John Galt and his followers of everything they have which was created by or within the ...
100009		"You don't ""deduct"" transaction fees, but they are included in your cost basis and proceeds, which will affect the amount of gain/loss you report. So in your example, the cost basis for each of the two lots is $15 (10$ share price plus $5 broker fee). Your proceeds for each lot are $27.50 (($30*2 - $5 )/2). Your ga...

100021		"The difference between an American and European option is that the American option can be exercised at any time, whereas the European option can be liquidated only on the settlement date. The American option is ""continuous time"" instrument, while the European option is a ""point in time"" instrument. Black Scholes ...
100039		I Usually would not say this but if you can just put down 20% I would do that and get a 15 year mortgage. The rates are so low on 15 year mortgage that you should be able to make more than the 3% in the market per year and make some money. I wouldn't be surprised if for 1/2 of the term of your loan you will be able t...
100040		Department store cards will appear on your credit report and is often much easier to get approved for. All my friends that have applied for a Macy's card have always been approved. If you are new to the country, department store cards are a great way to build history. Target and Nordstroms are two other department stor...
100042		Well yeah, that's why they put the disclaimer on the article, so people could know and judge accordingly. That's evidence of good journalism, not bad. That conflict also doesn't negate Wapo's good track record, and the fact that that track record is one of its best selling points. I don't think Amazon would sacrifice ...
100045		There are PABs (Private Activity Bonds) for the smaller market issues, but you basically need a local government to act as the conduit issuer. There are a whole host of other requirements but it is a way to potentially get tax-exempt rates or get access to the taxables market.
100051		Their aggressive takeover tactics? However, to be honest I don't know what the others are like. I'm fortunate enough to have drinking water from the tap. Which I bottle myself. I'll sell you a bottle 20% cheaper then nestle if you'd like
100057		You can easily build a Google Sheet spreadsheet to track what you want as Sheet has a 'googlefinance()' function to look-up the same prices and data you can enter and track in a Google Finance portfolio, except you can use it in ways you want. For example, you can track your purchase price at a fixed exchange rate, tra...
10006		Firstly, good on you for thinking about it before you commit to it. Next. Chelonian provides lots of detail. Read that answer. Consider the cost of going. Use your local community college. Use a state school. Get a job as an intern or another entry level position, with an employer that will reimburse you for educa...
100087		CreditKarma review I don't personally use HelloWallet, but I have also heard very good things about it. Independence from financial products is a HUGE thing in the field because so many investment advisers place the firm before the customer (c.f. Too Big To Fail), so having an independent resource is a huge benefit.
100089		I have been looking into CMEs trading tool. I might just play around with futures on it. You make a good point on that though. I am reading Hull's book on options, futures and derivatives, and so far so good. Only thing I would want to test is options on futures, which is missing :( .
100091		"> Sessions has literally said, ""I thought those KKK guys were fine until I found out they smoked pot."" He may well be a racist, but it's hard to imagine taking that comment seriously. *Barry Kowalski and Albert Glenn, attorneys at the Justice Department, testified that they heard Sessions make the KKK comment b...
100099		"Winnings are taxed in the year you receive payment. Period. Constructive requires an unqualified right to receive immediate payment. One qualification is that lottery tickets must be verified. Large winners usually have to wait a day or two, which voids the ""immediate payment"" clause. Here's an extreme example:...
1001		"Not necessarily. The abbreviation ""ESOP"" is ambiguous. There are at least 8 variations I know of: You'll find references on Google to each of those, some more than others. For fun you can even substitute the word ""Executive"" for ""Employee"" and I'm sure you'll find more. Really. So you may be mistaken about t...
100103		Firstly, going short on a stock and worrying if the price suddenly gaps up a lot due to good news is the same as being long on a stock and worrying that the price will suddenly collapse due to bad news. Secondly, an out of the money call option would be cheaper than an in the money call option, in fact the further out ...
100104		This seems like kind of an odd analysis. The exact same comment can be made every year at this time in regards to iPhones (people are waiting for the next version to come out). Yet every year Apple sells a ton of these things. Don't expect anything different this time around. As to Qualcomm (also cited in the article)...
10011		"If you force people to pay into the system more, then you can spend more and still claim the deficit is decreasing. If you increase government spending without increasing government revenue, then the deficit increases. If you increase government spending while also increasing government revenue, then the deficit d...
100121		I would like to add to the answer provided by Dheer. I think under some ULIPs you need not pay premium after 3 years and you can take the money back after 5 years (something like that, read your policy statement of course). Since the money is invested in Stock markets and since generally people say the longer money sta...
100124		What does not seem reasonable about your plan is the payment and buyout. While $200/month payments are possible (but hard to find), buyouts are more typically in the five figure range. Given that your savings and desired payment for a car is low (the average car payment today is about 450/month), can you really afford...
100128		Here's an excerpt from the Charles Schwab website which I think will help evaluate your position: The simple answer to your question is no, the value of a gift of stock for gift tax liability is NOT the donor's cost basis, but rather the fair market value of the stock at the time the gift is given. So let's say y...
100132		They had the loans insured. The only way they could lose is if US gov't didn't bail out AIG. The customers may have a high risk of default, but there was little risk of the banks losing their money. Besides, like AnythingApplied says, those are the kinds of people they can charge all sorts of fees to, they're a fuck...
100136		"From what I've read, paying down your mortgage -- above and beyond what you'd normally pay -- is indeed an investment but a very poor form of investment. In other words, you could take that extra money you'd apply towards your mortgage and put it in something that has a much higher rate of return than a house. As an e...
10017		You should not look at volume in isolation but look at it together with other indicators and/or the release of news (good or bad). When there is lower than average volume this could be an indication that the stock is in a bit of a holding pattern, possibly waiting for some company or economic news to come out (especial...
100188		They could have different quotes as there are more than a few pieces here. Are you talking a Real Time Level II quote or just a delayed quote? Delayed quotes could vary as different companies would be using different time points in their data. You aren't specifying exactly what kind of quote from which system are yo...
100199		Working from home is a mixed blessing. It's nice to avoid the morning/afternoon rush hour. It can be nice and comfortable at home and you can work in the nude ... All that said though you need to make an effort to get out or you will go fucking crazy. You need to make more of an effort to maintain a normal routine as ...
100205		The relevant Canada Revenue Agency web site is Tax payable on excess TFSA amount Withdrawing in the same year does not generate additional room.

100233		Even if it's not used for energy, coal is still essential for making plastics, drugs, air and water filters, soap, dyes, solvents, and carbon fiber. The coal industry will be around as long as we need aspirin or Boeing wants to build lighter passenger planes.

100241		Simply, most of the above given 'answers' are mere 'justifications' for a practice that has become anachronistic. It did make sense once in the past, but not any more. Computers and networks can run non-stop 24/7; even though the same human beings cannot be expected to work 24/7, we have invented the beautiful concept ...
100250		"These people used the money they received to invest in their business enterprises. As we all know, investments of the wealthy ""trickle down"" to the poor. If that money had actually gone to poor people they would have spent it on drink and gambling. These people should be commended, not punished."
100279		"The original ""offer"" was as follows: the shark says he has invested in a company that may be interested in this entrepreneur's product, and ""contingent on that deal,"" he will buy the owner out for $150K plus a 4% royalty interest in perpetuity. This is technically not an offer, because the contingency was to...
100280		The answer is simple. You can generally claim a deduction for an expense if that expense was used to derive an income. Most business expenses are used to derive profits and income, most individual expenses are not. Of course social policy sometimes gets in the way and allows for deductions where they usually wouldn't b...
100283		"I hate to point this out, but have you heard of this guy Trump, or Warren Buffet (although his son seems to be very competent and grounded, to some degree). The US is also plagued with this problem where family companies remain so through leadership, they also tend to fail at greater rates than our publicly ran comp...
100284		Trust me, the plane ticket is the least of the expenses flying my co-worker out they will face. His room, his meals outside of what they will serve him, etc. he will steal every red cent he can from them because he is a filthy thief.
100286		The answer to your question: I don't think it's being irresponsible at all. You are at least saving for your retirement, some people aren't even doing that. My advice? Replace the car with a cheaper car that you absolutely adore. $1000/month is a lot to pay for a car that's just a car. Sell yours, take the resulta...
100288		Well, this is their last attempt to fix it anyway, so it better be good. Because you better believe Democrats will pass universal healthcare without so much as a look across the isle for input and there's no taking back that from people. Isn't it curious that Obamacare started sucking right around the time when GOP s...
100292		That will just change the number of people who are employed. Those who remain employed will require less government help, and those who lose their jobs will require more. Tinkering with the minimum wage will not add wealth or prosperity to the nation, it will only redistribute it.
100301		>First, federal labor law bars even non-union employers like Google from punishing an employee for communicating with fellow employees about improving working conditions. The purpose of the memo was to persuade Google to abandon certain diversity-related practices the engineer found objectionable and to convince co-...
100306		"Short answer: don't do it. Unless you know something that the bank doesn't, it's safe to assume that banks are a lot better at assessing risk than you are. If they think he can't afford it, odds are he can't afford it regardless of what he might say to the contrary. In this case, the best answer may be ""sorry for you...

100341		According to my research one only needs £5000 to invest in this fund. However, it also has a sales charge of 4% with an annual charge of 1.75%. If this is short term money, you would have to have a fairly high return to break even.

100403		If you get your income in the currency you have the new loan in, there is no exchange risk for the future. Assuming that you are able to get and serve that loan, it reduces your cost, so go for it. Yes, if the currency exchange rate changes the right way over the next years, you could have made a better deal - but cons...
100420		"Profitable by design on slide 7, haha. Yeah, no. That's because you're purposely leaving out the maintenance and upkeep for the vehicles in the ""not yours fleet"", don't have ""drivers"" but instead contractors, and you thought you wouldn't have to pay taxes or fees in local cities for your ""not taxis""."
100438		Seems like a stupid move to me. I assume people who don't want to buy a swatch owned brand now won't do so simply because competition is culled. Movement watches simply aren't necessities but a fashion item much of the time. It's like a prominent dress manufacturer called, say, Moochi, that owns the supply of thre...
100443		If you are the main account holder I would try contacting your bank directly, some of them have very accommodating services for this kind of thing.

100452		A 1040X is the form and instructions you need. Don't worry you can rescind the $3 presidential campaign contribution for both you and a spouse.
100474		You're speaking as a private individual. If you owe money to a friend or family member, IOW if it's a personal loan from someone you personally know, then yes, there is an absolute moral obligation to pay it back if at all possible. But the big banks are not 'people you know'. They treat you like a set of numbers- ...
100483		I'd stick with 20% down. Truth is - we don't know enough about you. Are you single and staying that way? How is your retirement savings doing? As others asked, any other debt? You can put 20% down, take a breath and see how it's going. I did just that, the 20%. We then had a baby, and 5 nanny-years to pay for. When she...
100485		On Monday, the 27th of June 2011, the XIV ETF underwent a 10:1 share split. The Yahoo Finance data correctly shows the historic price data adjusted for this split. The Google Finance data does not make the adjustment to the historical data, so it looks like the prices on Google Finance prior to 27 June 2011 are being ...

100566		Is she correct in that you generally can't even apply until the cash transaction is complete? Probably. How can you commit to mortgage something you do not own?

In the answer keshlam gave, several handy rules of thumb are mentioned that are used as common screening devices to reject loans, but in every case further review is required to approve any loan. The 28% rule is the gold standard for estim...
100683		"For the vast majority, ""buying"" a house via a mortgage is not an investment. I use quotes around buying because from a technical perspective you don't own anything until you've paid it off; this is often an important point that people forget. It's highly unlikely you'll make more on it than the amount you put into ...
100694		A Ponzi scheme takes investor money and lies about where it is invested. New investor money is then used to pay dividends to current investors to attract more investors. However there is a fundamental lie as to where the investment is and how much money is under control. The Fed satisfies none of these requirements. Y...

100743		There's a serious mistake in your analysis: granted, in the traditional IRA, you avoid paying taxes on the $5000 now, but you're now stuck paying taxes on $2.2 million dollars when you withdraw it later.

100792		Not a day goes by that someone isn't forecasting a collapse or meteoric rise. Have you read Ravi Batra's The Great Depression of 1990?

100847		The main reason for an UBI is to provide atleast some sort of income since a lot of people are projected to be out of a job due to automation. Hence that source of income, for the large part, will go to the basic needs first, like housing, power, food. Atleast, that's what I suspect. So if a landlord knows people can...
100849		Good points. I'm sure twitter has data on the value of Trumps account, but IMO the data for how much value Trump keeps away from Twitter is much less readily available.

100867		"No. One of the key ideas behind a corporation is that an investor's liability is limited to the amount he invests, i.e. the amount of stock he buys.

10089		Congratulations on deciding to save for retirement. Since you cite Dave Ramsey as the source of your 15% number, what does he have to say about where to invest the money? If you want to have instantaneous penalty-free access to your retirement money, all you need to do is set up one or more ordinary accounts that you ...
10090		This is your best answer so far. A detail left out is that derivatives are mostly known for the amount of leverage allowed, which is typically about 20-1, or 5% down. This is legal because it's generally assumed that someone is not going to buy or sell the underlying asset, that they will offset their long or short pos...

10098		To a certain extent, small cap companies will in general follow the same trends as large cap companies.

FiQA2018 — BEIR, unified schema

A normalised copy of the dataset behind the mteb task FiQA2018, one of the tasks of the BEIR benchmark as mteb defines it. Same queries, documents and relevance judgements as the benchmark evaluates — reshaped into one strict schema shared by every dataset in this collection.


Source	`mteb/fiqa` @ `27a168819829` (the revision pinned in `mteb`)
Domain · languages	finance · eng
Queries / documents / qrels (all splits)	6,648 / 57,638 / 17,110
Qrels per query	min 1 · mean 2.633 · max 15
Score values	1 ×1,706
Layout	`queries` · `corpus` · `qrels`, split `test`; `queries`/`qrels` also carry `train`, `dev` — one shared corpus
Splits	`qrels`: train, dev, test · `queries`: train, dev, test
License	`cc-by-sa-4.0`

Schema

config	columns	rules
`queries`	`id: string`, `text: string`	ids unique and non-empty; every query has ≥ 1 qrel
`corpus`	`id: string`, `title: string`, `text: string`	`title` is always present (`""` when the source has none)
`qrels`	`query-id: string`, `corpus-id: string`, `score: int32`	referential integrity to both tables; no duplicate pairs; no floats

Files are Parquet, sorted by id, zstd-compressed, sharded at 500 MB. Every rule above is enforced by a validator before publishing; provenance.json records the source file hashes, what changed, and the output file hashes.

What changed from the source

byte-preserved all text — no whitespace, newline, or control-character normalisation
dev: dropped 6,148 queries that have no qrels in this split (mteb does the same at load time)
test: dropped 6,000 queries that have no qrels in this split (mteb does the same at load time)
train: dropped 1,148 queries that have no qrels in this split (mteb does the same at load time)
cast qrels.score double -> int32
kept 38 documents whose title and text are both empty — they are in the source and the benchmark's corpus
kept 39 documents whose text is identical to another document's — a property of the source; note that models embed such documents identically and retrieval ties among them are broken by corpus order
renamed _id → id
renamed source splits (queries←queries/queries, corpus←corpus/corpus) to test

Cross-check against the previous layout

This repo previously held the same dataset in BEIR's raw two-repo form (Hyukkyu/beir-fiqa-2018 + Hyukkyu/beir-fiqa-2018-qrels; that layout is kept under the git tag legacy-layout). Before replacing it, the build was compared against it: corpus id set identical (57,638 documents); qrels rows per split test 1,706 = 1,706, train 14,166 = 14,166, dev 1,238 = 1,238.

License discrepancy. The upstream dataset card declares cc-by-sa-4.0 while mteb's TaskMetadata declares not specified. This card carries the upstream value as the more conservative choice.
