Too bad an updated edition of PCL never materialised

did you forget the "/s" or is it a serious question?

On Ponte dei Pugni (Bridge of Fists), which was the most famous venue for these spectacles, there are marble feet markings which were the starting positions for fighters.

To my ears, the sound is wrong. At least the Solari flip boards had a typical rustling sound, this is too much clicking.

Sound could be better.

SPI does not exist anymore, but there are other publishers still doing it, although the market is much smaller now. The biggest one is probably GMT games.

I think some of their games are available from others, and I hope there’s on line versions being created by hobbyists.

Interesting... However, ironically, EBGRIA is awful too, in its own way. The typography is rudimentary.

ISBN prefixes does not always indicate a country. They may be are indeed countries, but others are language areas (e.g. 0/1=English) or "regions" (groups of countries) or even other subjects.

High level programming languages were conceived by humans and for humans. Will AIs in future better use their own languages, or maybe even output machine language directly?

Unusable on iphone SE, the UI is cropped on the bottom and cannot be scrolled.

So a viable strategy would be to only buy the best 7 stocks? Like the Dogs of the Dow, but reversed? (The Gods of the Dow?)

It works until it doesn't. And it can stop working very fast. Which is the scary part. But then it also depends on entry point. If you entered early even going down say 40% or 60% might not make you go red.

Yeah, investing in the top companies leads to higher returns for most periods when looking short term.

Over longer periods, the top companies by market cap tend to change though. https://www.investmentnews.com/equities/only-one-of-the-worl...

So if you want to invest in the top companies, you either need to think they won’t change anymore, or you need to find when to buy and sell. Index funds solve this problem for you, albeit with slightly lower returns in the short term.

It's only a "strategy" because you know what happened to the share price. If you can tell the future why not buy the lottery instead.

Or go with a NASDAQ 100 index: you'll generally get higher returns than the S&P 500 or Russell 3000, but you'll also get higher volatility. How well would you sleep at night with drops of -20% more often?

Reminder that US stocks can do badly (and the only thing that could save US domestic investors is bonds):

This is probably ok if you consistently sell stuff that exits the top7 and buy stuff that enters, but I kinda doubt it's all that much better. Same as the s&p500 and the Russell 5000 have really similar returns.

You'll be more exposed to screwing things up when companies enter/leave.

Yes. If you know which stocks will do best over the next year (or other time period), only buy those.

I was basically thinking about investing in the “S&P7”. No forecasting.
