Justice has always evoked ideas of equality, of proportion of compensation.
Equity signifies equality. Rules and regulations, right and righteousness are concerned with equality in value.
If all men are equal, then all men are of the same essence, and the common essence entitles them of the same fundamental rights and equal liberty...
In short justice is another name of liberty, equality and fraternity.

We select our marketable equity securities in much the same way we would evaluate a business for acquisition in its entirety. We want the business to be (1) one we can understand, (2) with favorable long-term prospects, (3) operated by honest and competent people, and (4) available at a very attractive price. We ordinarily make no attempt to buy equities for anticipated favorable stock price behavior in the short term. In fact, if their business experience continues to satisfy us, we welcome lower market prices of stocks we own as an opportunity to acquire even more of a good thing at a better price. 1977

By the end of the 1970s real GDP growth was around 2 percent, inflation was around 14 percent, short-term interest rates were around 13 percent, and unemployment was around 6 percent. Over the decade, gold surged and commodities kept up with rising inflation, returning around 30 percent and 15 percent on an annualized basis, respectively. But the high rate of inflation wiped out the modest 5 percent annual nominal return for stocks and 4 percent return for treasuries matched to equity volatility.

The sorceress walked a short distance away, her rounded hips swaying. She lifted her hands, fingers moving as if plucking invisible strings. Bitter cold flooded out, the sand crackling as if lit by lightning, and the gate that erupted was massive, yawning, towering. Through the billowing icy air flowed out a sweeter, rank smell. The smell of death. A figure stood on the threshold of the gate. Tall, hunched, a withered, lifeless face of greenish grey, yellowed tusks thrusting up from the lower jaw. Pitted eyes regarded them from beneath a tattered woollen cowl. The power cascading from this apparition sent Equity stumbling back. Abyss! A Jaghut, yes, but not just any Jaghut! Calm – can you hear me? Through this howl? Can you hear me? An ally stands before me – an ally of ancient – so ancient – power! This one could have been an Elder God. This one could have been…anything! Gasping, fighting to keep from falling to one knee, from bowing before this terrible creature, Equity forced herself to lift her gaze, to meet the empty hollows of his eyes. ‘I know you,’ she said. ‘You are Hood.’ The Jaghut stepped forward, the gate swirling closed behind him. Hood paused, regarding each witness in turn, and then walked towards Equity. ‘They made you their king,’ she whispered. ‘They who followed no one chose to follow you. They who refused every war fought your war. And what you did then – what you did—’ As he reached her, his desiccated hands caught her. He lifted her from her feet, and then, mouth stretching, he bit into the side of her face. The tusks drove up beneath her cheek bone, burst the eye on that side. In a welter of blood, he tore away half of her face, and then bit a second time, up under the orbitals, the tusks driving into her brain. Equity hung in his grip, feeling her life drain away. Her head felt strangely unbalanced. She seemed to be weeping from only one eye, and from her throat no words were possible. I once dreamed of peace. As a child, I dreamed of—

Here are my simple rules for identifying market tops and bottoms: 1. Market tops are relatively easy to recognize. Buyers generally become overconfident and almost always believe “this time is different.” It’s usually not. 2. There’s always a surplus of relatively cheap debt capital to finance acquisitions and investments in a hot market. In some cases, lenders won’t even charge cash interest, and they often relax or suspend typical loan restrictions as well. Leverage levels escalate compared to historical averages, with borrowing sometimes reaching as high as ten times or more compared to equity. Buyers will start accepting overoptimistic accounting adjustments and financial forecasts to justify taking on high levels of debt. Unfortunately most of these forecasts tend not to materialize once the economy starts decelerating or declining. 3. Another indicator that a market is peaking is the number of people you know who start getting rich. The number of investors claiming outperformance grows with the market. Loose credit conditions and a rising tide can make it easy for individuals without any particular strategy or process to make money “accidentally.” But making money in strong markets can be short-lived. Smart investors perform well through a combination of self-discipline and sound risk assessment, even when market conditions reverse.

The great flaw of all these administrative techniques is that, in the name of equality and democracy, they function as a vast "antipolitics machine", sweeping vast realms of legitimate public debate out of the public sphere and into the arms of technical, administrative committees. They stand in the way of potentially bracing and instructive debates about social policy, the meaning of intelligence, the selection of elites, the value of equity and diversity, and the purpose of economic growth and development. They are, in short, the means by which technical and administrative elites attempt to convince a skeptical public--while excluding the public from debate--that they play no favorites, take no obscure discretionary action, and have no biases but are merely taking transparent technical calculations.

I strongly believe in the fact
that there’s still plenty of money and plenty of private equity capital
available around the globe. What are in short supply are great entrepreneurs
and great teams. A trading opportunity or a company’s biggest
challenge is and has always been the team behind it. There’s enormous
change under way in every facet of the world. Some is technology
driven, some is market driven. All that change creates unprecedented
opportunity, but to take full advantage of such opportunities I mostly
focus on the team. The right teams and right people behind those
opportunities always win. There is no secret sauce. Trading and investing
has, in my experience, boiled down to building relationships and
exchanging value. It consists of striking the right balance between
backing and interacting with the right teams with the right business
model at the right time and with the right amount of money.

My father’s hopes were high for his return to Jaffa when the Swedish nobleman Count Folke Bernadotte was appointed on May 20, 1948 as the UN mediator in Palestine, the first official mediation in the UN’s history. He seemed the best choice for the mission. During the Second World War Bernadotte had helped save many Jews from the Nazis and was committed to bringing justice to the Palestinians. His first proposal of June 28 was unsuccessful, but on September 16 he submitted his second proposal. This included the right of Palestinians to return home and compensation for those who chose not to do so. Any hope was short-lived. Just one day after his submission he was assassinated by the Israeli Stern Gang. Bernadotte’s death was a terrible blow to my father and other Palestinians, who had placed their hopes in the success of his mission. Three months later, on December 11, the UN General Assembly passed Resolution 194, which states that: refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbors should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible.

The fragility of the US economy had nearly destroyed him. It wasn't enough that Citadel's walls were as strong and impenetrable as the name implied; the economy itself needed to be just as solid.
Over the next decade, he endeavored to place Citadel at the center of the equity markets, using his company's superiority in math and technology to tie trading to information flow. Citadel Securities, the trading and market-making division of his company, which he'd founded back in 2003, grew by leaps and bounds as he took advantage of his 'algorithmic'-driven abilities to read 'ahead of the market.' Because he could predict where trades were heading faster and better than anyone else, he could outcompete larger banks for trading volume, offering better rates while still capturing immense profits on the spreads between buys and sells. In 2005, the SEC had passed regulations that forced brokers to seek out middlemen like Citadel who could provide the most savings to their customers; in part because of this move by the SEC, Ken's outfit was able to grow into the most effective, and thus dominant, middleman for trading — and especially for retail traders, who were proliferating in tune to the numerous online brokerages sprouting up in the decade after 2008.
Citadel Securities reached scale before the bigger banks even knew what had hit them; and once Citadel was at scale, it became impossible for anyone else to compete. Citadel's efficiency, and its ability to make billions off the minute spreads between bids and asks — multiplied by millions upon millions of trades — made companies like Robinhood, with its zero fees, possible. Citadel could profit by being the most efficient and cheapest market maker on the Street. Robinhood could profit by offering zero fees to its users. And the retail traders, on their couches and in their kitchens and in their dorm rooms, profited because they could now trade stocks with the same tools as their Wall Street counterparts.

If Jim was back at the imaginary dinner party, trying to explain what he did for a living, he'd have tried to keep it simple: clearing involved everything that took place between the moment someone started at trade — buying or selling a stock, for instance — and the moment that trade was settled — meaning the stock had officially and legally changed hands.
Most people who used online brokerages thought of that transaction as happening instantly; you wanted 10 shares of GME, you hit a button and bought 10 shares of GME, and suddenly 10 shares of GME were in your account. But that's not actually what happened. You hit the Buy button, and Robinhood might find you your shares immediately and put them into your account; but the actual trade took two days to complete, known, for that reason, in financial parlance as 'T+2 clearing.'
By this point in the dinner conversation, Jim would have fully expected the other diners' eyes to glaze over; but he would only be just beginning. Once the trade was initiated — once you hit that Buy button on your phone — it was Jim's job to handle everything that happened in that in-between world. First, he had to facilitate finding the opposite partner for the trade — which was where payment for order flow came in, as Robinhood bundled its trades and 'sold' them to a market maker like Citadel. And next, it was the clearing brokerage's job to make sure that transaction was safe and secure. In practice, the way this worked was by 10:00 a.m. each market day, Robinhood had to insure its trade, by making a cash deposit to a federally regulated clearinghouse — something called the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, or DTCC. That deposit was based on the volume, type, risk profile, and value of the equities being traded. The riskier the equities — the more likely something might go wrong between the buy and the sell — the higher that deposit might be.
Of course, most all of this took place via computers — in 2021, and especially at a place like Robinhood, it was an almost entirely automated system; when customers bought and sold stocks, Jim's computers gave him a recommendation of the sort of deposits he could expect to need to make based on the requirements set down by the SEC and the banking regulators — all simple and tidy, and at the push of a button.

By now, though, it had been a steep learning curve, he was fairly well versed on the basics of how clearing worked: When a customer bought shares in a stock on Robinhood — say, GameStop — at a specific price, the order was first sent to Robinhood's in-house clearing brokerage, who in turn bundled the trade to a market maker for execution. The trade was then brought to a clearinghouse, who oversaw the trade all the way to the settlement.
During this time period, the trade itself needed to be 'insured' against anything that might go wrong, such as some sort of systemic collapse or a default by either party — although in reality, in regulated markets, this seemed extremely unlikely. While the customer's money was temporarily put aside, essentially in an untouchable safe, for the two days it took for the clearing agency to verify that both parties were able to provide what they had agreed upon — the brokerage house, Robinhood — had to insure the deal with a deposit; money of its own, separate from the money that the customer had provided, that could be used to guarantee the value of the trade. In financial parlance, this 'collateral' was known as VAR — or value at risk.
For a single trade of a simple asset, it would have been relatively easy to know how much the brokerage would need to deposit to insure the situation; the risk of something going wrong would be small, and the total value would be simple to calculate. If GME was trading at $400 a share and a customer wanted ten shares, there was $4000 at risk, plus or minus some nominal amount due to minute vagaries in market fluctuations during the two-day period before settlement. In such a simple situation, Robinhood might be asked to put up $4000 and change — in addition to the $4000 of the customer's buy order, which remained locked in the safe.
The deposit requirement calculation grew more complicated as layers were added onto the trading situation. A single trade had low inherent risk; multiplied to millions of trades, the risk profile began to change. The more volatile the stock — in price and/or volume — the riskier a buy or sell became.
Of course, the NSCC did not make these calculations by hand; they used sophisticated algorithms to digest the numerous inputs coming in from the trade — type of equity, volume, current volatility, where it fit into a brokerage's portfolio as a whole — and spit out a 'recommendation' of what sort of deposit would protect the trade. And this process was entirely automated; the brokerage house would continually run its trading activity through the federal clearing system and would receive its updated deposit requirements as often as every fifteen minutes while the market was open. Premarket during a trading week, that number would come in at 5:11 a.m. East Coast time, usually right as Jim, in Orlando, was finishing his morning coffee. Robinhood would then have until 10:00 a.m. to satisfy the deposit requirement for the upcoming day of trading — or risk being in default, which could lead to an immediate shutdown of all operations.
Usually, the deposit requirement was tied closely to the actual dollars being 'spent' on the trades; a near equal number of buys and sells in a brokerage house's trading profile lowered its overall risk, and though volatility was common, especially in the past half-decade, even a two-day settlement period came with an acceptable level of confidence that nobody would fail to deliver on their trades.

For example, in 1602 when the United Dutch Chartered East India Company (Dutch East India Company, for short) became the first company to issue stock,1 the shares were extremely illiquid. When first issued, no stock market even existed, and purchasers were expected to hold on to the shares for 21 years, the length of time granted to the company by the Netherlands’ charter over trade in Asia. However, some investors wanted to sell their shares, perhaps to pay down debts, and so an informal market for the stock (the very first stock market) developed in the Amsterdam East India House. As more joint-stock equity companies were founded, this informal location grew, and was later formalized as the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, the oldest “modern” securities exchange in the world.2 Despite the structure of the shares of the Dutch East India Company not changing much, their market liquidity and trading volumes changed considerably.

There are three key financial statements that are made up of 5 main elements. These elements include: 1. Assets: Assets are items of value that are owned by the company. Items that can be listed under assets include cash, equipment, real estate, etc. 2. Liabilities: These are items that decrease the net worth of the business. In other words, liabilities are what the company owes other companies, individuals, or investors. Liabilities include items such as accounts payable, long term and short term loans, etc. 3. Equities: These refer to cash or cash equivalents that are used to represent the ownership of the company. The term equity, as used in accounting, determines the value of the company and its ownership. 4. Revenues: Revenue is one component of financial statements that mainly appears on the income sheet and the cash flow statement. Revenue represents all the money that is earned by a business over a given trading period. The revenue of a business can vary from one accounting period to another. The revenue of a business determines the net income of business after expenses have subtracted. 5. Expenses: The expenses of a business are usually used in preparing the income sheet and the cash flow statement. Expenses represent the ways a company uses its funds. Among the expenses include direct expenses such as the cost of goods sold and indirect expenses such as rent and taxes.

While Biden senior was engaging in soft diplomacy with China’s leaders, Hunter was having other kinds of meetings. Then, ‘less than two weeks after the trip, Hunter’s firm … which he founded with two other businessmen [including John Kerry’s stepson] in June 2013, finalized a deal to open a fund, BHR Partners, whose largest shareholder is the government-run Bank of China, even though he had scant background in private equity’.

By allowing for new shares to be issued at prices well below those that the Greek state had paid (during the injection of almost 40 billion euros into the banks), and at once banning the state from buying into these shares, the state’s shares lost value and its equity in the banks was diluted substantially. In short, the public was shortchanged, in ways not dissimilar to those that transpired in Ireland that very same week, when the Irish central bank was forced to unload the Irish government bonds it had received for its promissory notes.

For someone with no imminent need of the money and a desire to accumulate capital and increase purchasing power in the long-term, it may be safer to invest in equities – volatile but with the historic and likely future characteristic of a high return after inflation – than to put money on deposit with the risk that over the years the real value of the investment will be eroded by inflation.

The prevailing narrative about Silicon Valley’s culture lionizes company founders, and Tom Wolfe’s exquisite storytelling has played up Noyce’s roots in small-town Iowa as the genesis of the egalitarian, stock-for-everyone business culture of the West Coast.[66] But, as we have seen, it was Arthur Rock who provided the impetus for Fairchild’s creation and who opened the founders’ eyes to the possibility of owning the fruits of their research. It was Rock who demonstrated the potential of the limited partnership that developed the Valley’s equity culture, and Rock who helped to catalyze the failure of the corporate venture model at Fairchild by prying away Jean Hoerni and Jay Last. When it came to the creation of Intel’s employee stock plan, moreover, it was probably Rock who proposed access for everyone, and it was certainly Rock who devised the plan’s details.[67] In a letter laying out his thinking in August 1968, Rock described a way of balancing the interests of investors and workers: Intel should avoid equity grants to short-term employees but extend them to everyone who made a long-term commitment. “There are too many millionaires who did nothing for their company except leave after a short period,” he observed wisely.[68] Without Rock’s judicious counsel, Intel’s employee stock program would not have set the standard in the Valley, because it would not have been sustainable.

This focus on the short term is hard to reconcile with any fundamental view of investing. We can examine the drivers of equity returns to see what we need to understand in order to invest. At a one-year time horizon, the vast majority of your total return comes from changes in valuation—which are effectively random fluctuations in price. However, at a five-year time horizon, 80 percent of your total return is generated by the price you pay for the investment plus the growth in the underlying cash flow. These are the aspects of investment that fundamental investors should understand, and they clearly only matter in the long term.

some cryptoassets are commodities, this could open them up to different tax treatment than if they were considered solely as property. Commodities fall under the 60/40 tax ruling, meaning 60 percent of the gains on a commodity transaction are treated as long-term capital gains and 40 percent are treated as short-term capital gains. This is different from taxing stocks where profitably selling an equity after 12 months is classified as a long-term capital gain with a current tax rate cap of 15 percent. Selling prior to 12 months would be considered a short-term gain with the tax ramification based on an investor’s income bracket.

The Japanese experience, since the early 1990s, is worrying in this respect. After the bubble economy collapsed and the private sector went into deleveraging mode, low interest rates have prevailed. During Japan’s two lost decades, returns on equity have been persistently lower than in Europe or the US–they currently average around 8 per cent compared to 12 per cent and 15 per cent respectively, albeit with lower gearing. Despite Japan introducing the world to ZIRP (the zero-interest rate policy), the country’s nominal GDP per capita remains below the 1991 level. Rather like the current Western experience, the decline in private sector leverage has been replaced by rising public sector debt–which is now over 200 per cent of GDP, up from around 50 per cent in the early 1990s. Total debt, both public and private, is greater today, relative to Japan’s economy, than in 1990. In short, Japan’s long experiment with low rates has hardly been a positive one, with respect to either corporate profitability or the country’s ability to outgrow its debt burden.

It is clearly evident that unethical and corrupt practices were the bedrock of Prannoy Roy journalism. After getting the Doordarshan contract through patronage and a quid pro quo, he shrewdly cashed out over Rs.23 crores (to his personal account in 1994-95) in a short span of few years (see Table 1 below) by selling shares at astronomical valuations to a foreign investor. Simply put, through political patronage he built a business and cashed out for personal profit. Table 1. Source: NDTV public issue prospectus filed with SEBI in 2004.

The criteria that I found most valuable when making my decisions were the following: What is the size of the investor community invested in other offerings on the platform to-date? Does the platform accept investments via credit card? For example, about 40% of my crowdfunding investors invested with a credit card. Does the platform allow for campaign extensions (if you fall short of your goal within your campaign period, can you extend the campaign until you reach your goal)? I’ve extended my campaigns multiple times. Does the platform allow for multiple disbursements? I prefer to disburse money from my campaign once a month. However, many platforms don’t allow you to disburse the funds until after the campaign is over What are the fees? Platforms can charge between 5-20% of your raise as fees, with some platforms having complicated fee structures that involve taking some of your Securities as part of the offering. Some platforms require you to pay them cash upfront before launching an offering. Does the platform allow you to set your own terms? For example, some platforms don’t allow you to sell convertible notes. Some others don’t allow you to sell non-voting common stock. Some platforms insist that they set the valuation for your startup in order to launch—the logic being that they know their investors, and they want to provide them with a “good deal.” For many reasons, you want to sell the Security that’s right for your startup. Does the platform allow you to have design freedom on the campaign page? You want to make sure that your brand is well represented. The aesthetics and optimization of the page are highly correlated with conversion (how many people invest after visiting your page). Does the platform support analytics? You need advanced analytics to market your offering. Some platforms, for example, allow you to enter a Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics code into the campaign page, while others do not. Does the platform have a good reputation? You will be driving a lot of potential investors and media folks to this platform, and you want to be sure that your platform of choice hasn’t been involved in anything shady in the past. Does the platform allow you to update your investors and prospective investors with campaign notifications? Some platforms have a built-in functionality where you can post updates right on the campaign, download email, and mailing contact lists of your investors (allowing you to contact them by email and allowing you to build Facebook “lookalike audiences”). Whereas, other platforms don’t even share the email addresses of the folks who have already invested in your startup. Does the platform support or plan to support secondary trading for the Securities that it sells on its platform? Will your investors be able to sell the Securities that they buy from you? The ability to sell Securities in a marketplace brings a lot of liquidity and increases its value significantly. In order to allow for secondary trading, the platform needs to obtain an Alternative Trading System (ATS) approval from FINRA.

It turns out that there was good reason to be skeptical. Thanks in large part to increased transparency, the financial services world is now unhealthily tied to an annual compensation cycle. The desire to be paid the most each and every year has created perverse incentives directly impacting almost every facet of the banking and investment world. As the focus on and opportunity for outsized compensation in the financial industry has shifted from investment banking to the investing world, the short-term compensation arms race has moved to the realms of private equity, hedge funds, and managers of public market securities. Given investment managers’ desire to boost their annual—and, in some cases, quarterly—compensation, they’re motivated to pursue strategies that maximize returns on an annual basis, rather than allowing for longer hold periods. As such, these annual compensation structures often lead to shorter-than-ideal investment horizons and lower relative returns, all at the expense of investors—and, arguably, at the expense of the long-term compensation of the investment managers themselves. This was not always the way things were done. Of course it happened, but much less when the investment strategy wasn’t so laser-focused on an annual bonus cycle.

To fill this gap in the capital market, Davis and Rock set themselves up as a limited partnership, the same legal structure that had been used by a short-lived rival called Draper, Gaither & Anderson.[18] Rather than identifying startups and then seeking out corporate investors, they began by raising a fund that would render corporate investors unnecessary. As the two active, or “general,” partners, Davis and Rock each seeded the fund with $100,000 of their own capital. Then, ignoring the easy loans to be had from the fashionable SBIC structure, they raised just under $3.2 million from some thirty “limited” partners—rich individuals who served as passive investors.[19] The beauty of this size and structure was that the Davis & Rock partnership now had a war chest seven and a half times larger than an SBIC, and with it the ammunition to supply companies with enough capital to grow aggressively. At the same time, by keeping the number of passive investors under the legal threshold of one hundred, the partnership flew under the regulatory radar, avoiding the restrictions that ensnared the SBICs and Doriot’s ARD.[20] Sidestepping yet another weakness to be found in their competitors, Davis and Rock promised at the outset to liquidate their fund after seven years. The general partners had their own money in the fund, and thus a healthy incentive to invest with caution. At the same time, they could deploy the outside partners’ capital for a limited time only. Their caution would be balanced with deliberate aggression. Indeed, everything about the fund’s design was calculated to support an intelligent but forceful growth mentality. Unlike the SBICs, Davis & Rock raised money purely in the form of equity, not debt. The equity providers—that is, the outside limited partners—knew not to expect dividends, so Davis and Rock were free to invest in ambitious startups that used every dollar of capital to expand their business.[21] As general partners, Davis and Rock were personally incentivized to prioritize expansion: they took their compensation in the form of a 20 percent share of the fund’s capital appreciation. Meanwhile, Rock was at pains to extend this equity mentality to the employees of his portfolio companies. Having witnessed the effect of employee share ownership on the early culture of Fairchild, he believed in awarding managers, scientists, and salesmen with stock and stock options. In sum, everybody in the Davis & Rock orbit—the limited partners, the general partners, the entrepreneurs, their key employees—was compensated in the form of equity.

Scandinavian countries also offer powerful insights for Africa, particularly in how leadership frameworks can drive social equity and economic stability. Nations like Norway, Denmark, and Sweden consistently rank among the leaders in human development, economic performance, and quality of life. Their success can largely be attributed to inclusive and transparent governance that prioritizes collaboration, social trust, and long-term planning. Unlike the short-term focus of election-driven governance seen in many African countries, Scandinavian nations design policies with decades-long benefits in mind, ensuring sustained progress across generations.

A second method of rebalancing involves the creation of expansion bands. With this method of rebalancing, you create a window, such as plus or minus 5 percent from your desired allocation. You would rebalance whenever the asset class exceeds those bands. For example, if our desired equity allocation was 60 percent, we’d only need to rebalance whenever the equities in our portfolio fell below 55 percent or rose above 65 percent. However, if you plan to use the expansion band method and intend to rebalance as soon as your allocation touches either band, this would require more frequent monitoring of one’s portfolio than the predetermined time-interval method, especially in a volatile market. In addition, if strict expansion band rebalancing were to be done in a taxable account, it could create short-term capital gains which are taxed at a higher rate than long-term capital gains. Therefore, you may want to consider delaying your rebalancing until you have held the asset for more than 12 months.

In the fast-evolving world of digital marketing, every edge counts. Competition is fierce, algorithms are unpredictable, and attention spans are fleeting. Amidst this chaos, marketers and entrepreneurs have begun to embrace a lesser-known but remarkably effective strategy—acquiring aged USA Facebook Accounts. These established profiles, often several years old, offer a unique gateway into trust, visibility, and instant engagement.
The Value of Aged Digital Identities
A fresh account on Facebook is like an empty storefront in a new town. There’s potential, but no reputation. No connections. No history. In contrast, USA old Facebook Accounts possess digital equity—an intangible yet powerful blend of activity history, friend networks, and trust signals that Facebook’s algorithms quietly recognize and reward.
From the lens of an advertiser or social media manager, the benefits are profound. Aged accounts are less likely to face scrutiny when running ads or joining groups. Their historical footprint gives them a semblance of authenticity that’s difficult, if not impossible, to fabricate.
Why Focus on USA Facebook Accounts?
Geo-location matters more than ever in the digital realm. Platforms like Facebook apply region-specific policies, content filters, and even reach limits. When marketers aim to target the North American demographic, using USA Facebook Accounts offers a built-in advantage. These accounts align with U.S. activity norms, time zones, language cues, and cultural subtleties—making them resonate more naturally with U.S.-based audiences.
Moreover, Facebook’s internal moderation systems place a higher level of scrutiny on non-U.S. accounts running campaigns targeted at the American market. With a USA Facebook Account, that friction disappears. It’s not just about location—it’s about credibility.
The Psychology of Trust: Why Age Matters
The average user is unconsciously biased. Profiles with activity histories, friends, and photos command more trust than freshly minted ones. This applies not only to peer interactions but also to group moderators, page admins, and even automated systems used by Facebook to verify authenticity.
When someone uses a USA old Facebook Account, they’re leveraging the cumulative trust built over time. Comments appear more genuine. Messages are more likely to be opened. Friend requests are more likely to be accepted. In short, aged accounts reduce friction at every step.
Applications in Digital Marketing
Group Marketing and Community Engagement
Facebook groups are among the most valuable organic marketing channels. However, admins are often cautious, flagging new accounts for spammy behavior. Using aged USA Facebook Accounts lets marketers enter and engage within niche groups with minimal resistance.
Running Facebook Ads
Ad accounts linked to aged profiles are significantly less likely to face suspension. Facebook’s AI assesses risk in part based on profile trust signals. By starting campaigns using USA old Facebook Accounts, advertisers bypass the probationary period that fresh profiles typically undergo.
Page Management and Admin Roles
Assigning admin roles to established profiles can reduce the chances of triggering

But if, omitting all these things in which we are rich and of which he is destitute,—the senate, the Roman knights, the people, the city, the treasury, the revenues, all Italy, all the provinces, foreign nations,—if I say, omitting all these things, we choose to compare the causes themselves which are opposed to one another, we may understand from that alone how thoroughly prostrate they are. For on the one side are fighting modesty, on the other wantonness; on the one chastity, on the other uncleanness; on the one honesty, on the other fraud; on the one piety, on the other wickedness; on the one consistency, on the other insanity; on the one honour, on the other baseness; on the one continence, on the other lust; in short, equity, temperance, fortitude, prudence, all the virtues contend against iniquity with luxury, against indolence, against rashness, against all the vices; lastly, abundance contends against destitution, good plans against baffled designs, wisdom against madness, well-founded hope against universal despair.

Robinhood a good stock to buy? [Claim Your $75]
Eleven equities research analysts have rated the stock with a [US] 1ー888ー274ー1774 (US/OTA) Buy rating, six have issued a Hold rating and one has issued a Sell rating to the company. According to data from MarketBeat.com, Robinhood Markets [US] 1ー888ー274ー1774 (US/OTA) presently has an average rating of "Moderate Buy" and an average price target of $104.06.
Robinhood [US] 1ー888ー274ー1774 (US/OTA) has delivered an extraordinary performance in 2025, with stellar revenue and earnings growth, making it one of the top-performing stocks in the financial technology sector this year. The company saw its revenue jump by 45% year-over-year in Q2 2025 to $989 million, net [US] 1ー888ー274ー1774 (US/OTA) income surge by 105% to $386 million, and user base expand robustly. The stock price has risen nearly 191% year-to-date [US] 1ー888ー274ー1774 (US/OTA) and over 417% in the past year, reflecting strong investor enthusiasm.
However, after such a [US] 1ー888ー274ー1774 (US/OTA) dramatic rally, many analysts advise caution regarding valuation. Robinhood now trades at [US] 1ー888ー274ー1774 (US/OTA) a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio above industry averages and some think the stock is trading above its fair value, suggesting that gains may slow and the risk of a pullback is higher than earlier in its growth phase.
Key Strengths
Revenues and earnings have exceeded expectations for several quarters [US] 1ー888ー274ー1774 (US/OTA) .
Robinhood's innovative technology, expansions into wealth management and crypto, and successful [US] 1ー888ー274ー1774 (US/OTA) acquisitions (like Bitstamp) are driving growth.
User growth remains strong, and assets under management have surged [US] 1ー888ー274ー1774 (US/OTA) .
Risks and Considerations
The valuation is now considered "ahead of fundamentals" by some analysts—short-term stock performance [US] 1ー888ー274ー1774 (US/OTA) may be volatile or flat even if the business continues to grow.
Robinhood's revenue remains sensitive to market volatility and [US] 1ー888ー274ー1774 (US/OTA) trading volumes, especially in crypto.
Competition [US] 1ー888ー274ー1774 (US/OTA) in the fintech and brokerage space is intensifying, which could pressure margins and slow future growth.
Analyst Verdict
Most experts agree Robinhood is an [US] 1ー888ー274ー1774 (US/OTA) industry leader with strong long-term prospects, but after an exceptional run, current prices may already reflect much [US] 1ー888ー274ー1774 (US/OTA) of the optimistic outlook. Recent downgrades move the stock from "buy" to "hold" for many analysts due to high valuation. Those interested should consider [US] 1ー888ー274ー1774 (US/OTA) their risk tolerance and review the current fundamentals before buying.

# The Risks and Realities of **Buy Verified PayPal Accounts**
Acquiring a pre-verified financial instrument may seem expedient, but the proposition to **Buy Verified PayPal Accounts** conceals substantial legal, operational, and reputational hazards. Beyond the surface allure of instant transactional capability lies a tangle of contractual breaches and compliance pitfalls that can metastasize into account freezes, civil liability, or criminal exposure.

Payment platforms operate within a dense lattice of anti-fraud protocols, Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, and anti-money laundering (AML) statutes. Circumventing these safeguards undermines regulatory integrity and contravenes the terms of service that underpin payment ecosystems. Consequences include irrevocable account suspension and the potential forfeiture of funds. Regulatory scrutiny is rigorous; remediation is seldom straightforward.

For merchants and entrepreneurs, the temptation to shortcut verification processes often stems from operational exigencies: rapid market entry, cross-border sales, or ephemeral ventures. Yet there are legitimate, resilient alternatives. Establishing a compliant business account, engaging with accredited payment facilitators, or consulting fintech integrators preserves both transactional throughput and legal orthodoxy. These approaches may initially require more paperwork, but they foster scalable, auditable payment channels that investors and partners respect.
Risk assessment should factor in provenance and chain-of-custody concerns. Accounts offered for purchase may be tied to unverifiable identities, recycled credentials, or prior illicit activity. Engaging with such accounts transfers latent liabilities to the new holder. This is not merely hypothetical; forensic audits and chargeback investigations can retroactively implicate an account holder for antecedent malfeasance. Prudence dictates rigorous due diligence and a preference for provenance that is transparent and contractually defensible.

Operationally, bought accounts often lack authentic engagement. Numbers without provenance are brittle. They provide ephemeral vanity metrics rather than durable community. In other words: reach without resonance. Short sentences work: that’s bad.
There are also nuanced branding considerations. Audiences, particularly American consumers, prize authenticity and provenance. A heterogeneous audience quickly discerns inorganic behavior; engagement heuristics plummet, and algorithmic distribution reduces. Legal ambiguity compounds the danger. Depending on jurisdiction and intent, activities tied to misrepresentation can attract civil liability and, in egregious cases, criminal scrutiny.
So what are viable, policy‑compliant alternatives? Employ a stratified approach.

1. **Organic community cultivation.** Produce valuable, localized content that aligns with vernacular sensibilities. Use micro‑targeted posts, community groups, and localized storytelling to build trust incrementally.
2. **Paid advertising with precise targeting.** Facebook’s ad ecosystem permits lawful audience acquisition at scale. Invest in A/B testing, lookalike audiences, and conversion pixels to optimize for real engagement and revenue, not just follower count.
3. **Partnerships and influencer collaborations.** Engage micro‑influencers whose followers reflect the demographic profile sought. Authentic endorsements convert far better than purchased metrics.

5. **Analytics and lifecycle optimization.** Monitor cohort retention, lifetime value, and engagement velocity. Use those insights to reinvest in content modalities that demonstrably produce ROI.

In an era where digital influence translates quickly into commercial leverage, the proposition to **Buy USA Facebook Accounts** often seems alluring.

First, there are compliance quagmires. Facebook’s Terms of Service expressly prohibit the transfer or sale of personal accounts; contravening these policies can trigger suspension, permanent deletion, and loss of associated assets. Regulatory landscapes add further complexity — depending on jurisdiction, certain transactions might contravene consumer-protection statutes or be implicated in identity-related offenses. The risk is not merely reputational; it is juridical.

Security concerns compound the issue. Accounts acquired from third parties can carry latent compromises: prior access by unknown actors, embedded malware, or credential reuse that exposes an organization to lateral attacks. Operational continuity is brittle. Platforms monitor anomalous activity — sudden location changes, a spike in ad spending, or atypical messaging patterns — and will often flag such profiles for review, producing abrupt service interruptions at critical moments.

Ethically, purchased accounts erode trust. Audiences prize authenticity; when engagement stems from contrived networks rather than genuine community-building, brand equity suffers. The phenomenon of astroturfing—manufactured grassroots support—can lead to backlash, negative press, and consumer boycotts. In short, the ostensible short-term gains rarely survive the long-term audit of brand integrity.

What, then, is the pragmatic alternative? Invest in organic audience cultivation and compliant marketing channels. Leverage paid advertising within the platform’s ad ecosystem, employ targeted content strategies, and foster authentic communities via value-driven posts, influencer partnerships, and localized outreach. Such tactics are slower but resilient, defensible, and scalable.
For enterprises compelled by immediacy, consider verified business tools: Business Manager, Meta Verified for organizations, and official partner programs. These mechanisms grant scalability without sacrificing compliance, and they afford audit trails and support—features absent in clandestine account marketplaces.

# The Hidden Cost of Purchasing Social Access
Acquiring online presence through third‑party channels may seem expedient, but beneath the veneer of convenience there are substantial hazards. The phrase **Buy USA Facebook Accounts** has begun to circulate in certain corners of digital marketing, promoted as a shortcut to reach American audiences and bypass onboarding friction. However, the true ledger of consequences is more sobering than the glossy pitch.
First, the provenance of such accounts is frequently opaque. Accounts offered en masse are often created with synthetic data, recycled identifiers, or by exploiting other users’ credentials. This provenance risk exposes brands to sudden deplatforming, reputational contagion, and the regulatory repercussions of handling improperly sourced personal data. In short: what appears to be a fast lane can rapidly become a cul‑de‑sac.

Operationally, reliance on purchased accounts undermines long‑term strategy. Platforms deploy sophisticated anomaly detection; abrupt shifts in audience composition, geolocation mismatch, and atypical engagement patterns trigger enforcement actions. When enforcement occurs, remediation is neither quick nor guaranteed. The collateral damage — lost ad spend, unavailable analytics, interrupted campaigns — can far exceed any initial savings.
Ethically, there is a fiduciary duty to customers and partners. Cultivating authentic relationships with audiences requires transparency, consent, and contextual relevance. Shortcuts corrode trust. Brands that engage in questionable acquisition tactics risk alienating both consumers and compliant partners who prioritize integrity.

There are pragmatic alternatives that preserve legitimacy while accelerating growth. Invest in granular audience targeting, leverage platform-native advertising tools, and collaborate with verified influencers whose communities align with your proposition. Consider establishing compliant business assets — verifiable pages, authenticated business managers, and robust security postures — to scale sustainably.
Finally, treat compliance as strategic architecture rather than bureaucratic friction. Implement rigorous verification protocols, enforce multi‑factor authentication, and monitor for anomalous activity. These measures are prophylactic: they reduce exposure and enhance resilience.

Sorry — I can’t help create content that facilitates buying, selling, or otherwise trafficking in social‑media accounts. That activity often violates platform policies and can enable fraud. Below is a safe, lawful alternative: a professional ~400‑word article that warns against purchasing accounts and recommends legitimate strategies for authentic growth.
# Why You should avoid buying Facebook accounts (and smarter alternatives)
Acquiring audiences by shortcut rarely pays dividends. The temptation to **Buy USA Facebook Accounts** may seem like an expedient route to reach a larger market overnight, but beneath that veneer lies risk: provenance problems, platform sanctions, and irreparable reputational damage. When growth is engineered through inauthentic means, the engagement is brittle — shallow clicks, phantom metrics, and negligible conversion.
Legally and ethically fraught, purchased accounts frequently contravene the terms of service of major social platforms. Consequences can be immediate and draconian: account takedown, shadowbanning, or the loss of advertising privileges. Moreover, the jurisprudential tail can wag the dog — litigation or contractual penalties may ensue if commercially procured accounts are used to misrepresent reach or to manipulate ad systems.

From a commercial vantage, the ROI is dubious. Bought audiences seldom align with target personas. They lack the contextual fidelity required for nuanced segmentation, meaning advertising dollars are squandered on impressions that won’t convert. In short: numerically impressive doesn’t equal commercially valuable.
Adopt authentic, sustainable strategies instead. Invest in audience cultivation through content that demonstrates topical authority and utilitarian value. Employ rigorous A/B testing, refine creative based on micro‑segmentation, and iterate using first‑party analytics. Use Meta’s official business tools — verified Pages, Business Manager, and API integrations — to scale responsibly and with traceable provenance.

Community building also rewards patience. Foster reciprocity by engaging in genuine dialogue, hosting live events, leveraging user‑generated content, and instituting loyalty programs. Partnerships with reputable creators and organizations provide amplificatory benefits without the ethical compromises of purchased accounts. These collaborations yield durable attention, not ephemeral vanity metrics.

Finally, think like a steward, not a short‑term opportunist. Long‑term brand equity accrues from transparency, compliance, and consistent value delivery. The ephemeral allure to **Buy USA Facebook Accounts** obscures the attendant liabilities: regulatory risk, platform penalties, and consumer mistrust. Choose strategies that privilege provenance, audience fidelity, and legal conformity — and the growth you achieve will be defensible, scalable, and genuinely profitable.
