I feel like big companies like Disney have to be burying other employee or operating expenses in each movie to also save on taxes. I feel like every successful movie can be a place to hide existing expenses. That’s how they can afford to lose money on all their movies.

Idk how I should phrase this: Either I’m surprised how tall she is or I knew Dan Toomey was a short king

9:20 lol I kinda love this guy’s enthusiasm

TCS lost me at 'Brand Value' sounds super Trumpy lol

Listen @ 4:57...I wonder if all those pesky houses are now gone

Ever since the 1940s, Wall Street has a saying: "If you want to make a small fortune in airlines stock, start with a large fortune."

Fraud. it's fraud.

Let's envision the oil industry from the California point of view. This video has some facts however lots of it is not true, is just propaganda clearly this kid has never set foot in a real oilfield learn any of the subsequent processes

I genuinely freaking lost it laughing out loud with the second note saying please

Because obama and biden closed down refineries...

I saw a 4 pack of orange Celsius in the store a few months ago. Now as a post-grad I've got Celsius at home in the fridge and in my locker for convenience. I look around class and see 2-4 people drinking one during any given day. I didn't realize I was even getting in on something.

Really well done video

It's a long way to the top if you wanna Rock n Roll... AC/DC

Look at the chart with a logarithmic scale. It's been going up at the same rate for it's entire history

The concept of homes being investment vehicles is the problem. 50 years ago everyone saw homes as a place to live. Nowadays there's too many people (and companies, and conglomerates) treating homes like a commodity to be traded.

Is there no such thing as auditing in this business? The lack of enforcement seems very odd.

Presumably it also means every media company is functionally not paying taxes on billions in real profits because of imaginary losses

Accountant here (but not one that serves this industry), but the reason studios can probably get away with this (at least from an accounting standpoint, not necessarily legal) is from a consolidated basis it is a net zero affect. Charge 30% interest to a wholly owned subsidiary and at the consolidated entity (like Warner Brothers or Paramount), that nets to zero. As long as they are disclosing the nature of the transaction (i.e., we have a wholly owned distribution company that assists in distribution of our films that receives a fee for marketing, distributing, etc.) they are good. These sub entities most likely are not getting individual audits, where things like this would potentially get flagged.

How can you not mention the frienship with the "Joneses" ( faking everything)😢

Im 10 toes in on Lucid!!! LCID to the moon!!!

How is your remotely legal?

The urgent care center down the street from me has an average of a 2+ hour wait but the place is practically empty. In the waiting room and out back.

oh now I see, now I remember that *they* don't consider usury and greed to be sins, it all makes sense now

totally adds up, when you remember which group of people were highly involved in the development of the film industry in the US, it makes a lot of sense...

For what you sey the costs for getting that plan going. You can make a new cheaper solution for batteries that don't spontaneously combust and destroy everything in sight.

Contractors are hired to get around government imposed costs and rules. Some people accept this and hire on. Then government comes in and makes more rules to end the injustice, supposed, these people signed up for voluntarily. Now the companies are experimenting with drones amd self driving cars. Go figure!

“Hollywood Accounting.” “So, _fraud_ ?” “Yes, Hollywood Accounting. That’s what I said.”

The whole video looks like it was made 15 years ago, but somehow I like this

The guy at 5:05 looks like a possible uncle to the guy from Pitch Meeting

Imagine a pro-social government that deliberately gave homes to young married couples and subsidizing their ability to start families and raise kids. ("Erika" playing softly in the distance)

They just haven't come back into the trend cycle yet. Within a few years they'll be back up. Were at phat farm rn. We will be back to Adidas vs Nike shortly.

Woah another area that Native Americans consider sacred. Woo wee lots of those things popping up wherever there's interest

I`m new to the stock market. Every stock that I bought so far, I was out of luck because I bought them when they were expensive. I feel I missed out on all the opportunities so far. I believe having $450K yearly income would be a good investment so I want to plug all my savings into the market. I know this sounds a bit dull but I would like to know if I should learn investing or let somebody else (more capable like a FA) do it for me? Please share your thoughts. I am kind of tired of searching for a good coins to buy and losing all the good opportunities.

Corporate America picked up on this years ago. It's called Financial Engineering, where you show Profits to the Shareholders and Losses to the Taxman. ( see Enron, Worldcom, Tyco etc)

I don't know why Americans are willing to pay coffee flavored water when everybody can make it at home for pennies. And why they thing that Starbucks is making good coffee.

Voice audio stereo?

I see why studios wouldn't want to do this, but couldn't actors insist on contracts that grant them a share when revenue of a movie surpasses $X (where X is the "real cost" of making the movie)? Then, inventing costs wouldn't help.

6 months later and that 18 billion is 6 billion. A wonderful example of the idea that when you see everyone talking about a stock, it's probably time to sell.

A director sold his film to Crown International Pictures. The head of Crown was a relatively honest producer, so after the deal was done, the head of Crown said: "Ha! You know what you just did? You sold me a movie for $10,000 that'll make $100,000." The director learned his lesson. The next time, he asked for a portion of the profits. The head of Crown was a relatively honest producer, so after the deal was done, the head of Crown said: "Ha! Do you know what you just did?" He then explained Hollywood accounting, & told the director to ask for "Gross! Gross! Gross!" The director learned his lesson. For his next film, he asked for & got Gross. And they all lived happily ever after, at till the 70's ended & the exploitation market collapsed. True story, tho my quotes may not be exact.

My portfolio is plummeting significantly, I’ve lost about $320k within a few months and I'm not confident about picking stocks anymore. Are there really no other options for me to gain from the stock market?

I know a geologist that worked for many years from North Dakota and South of Manitoba areas that's called, the BAKKAN FIELDS, that contains about 2 Trillion barrels of light oil. But no one is talking about it.

Your analysis is way too one dimensional. You are not accounting for inflation, if you account for inflation and apply that to the stock growth chart you will see that the stock growth is nowhere near as drastic as it appears.

This is the problem with corporate structures

I wonder if anyone else has thought of creating an LLC to sell products to themselves at a huge markup... I think I heard of a NY real-estate magnate who did this and put his kids in charge of the company to transfer his wealth to them

Merchandising. Star Wars merchandising.

It would only be disruptive to the parasites at the top who (under the current system) pass the cost onto the customer. Yes it would cost them, because if they just updated the domestic refineries then they could not charge you as much with the import excuse (which of couse they tack on their cuts in the form of storing the funds for the exported oil over seas thus robbing America twice over.)
