Then you cut them in half across the stem, and then place it flat side down. Then you cut horisontally, almost, but not quite all the way through. Then you do the same vertically along the stem. Finally, you cut it like you're making slices, and the result will be extremely uniform diced onions. Of course, if you're not an idiot, you'll peel the onion first.

I don't think you can buy futures for medicine. Like, not in regards to law, I just don't think those are a thing. American inflated drug prices are a result of patent law, anticompetitive legal restrictions, a high barrier to approval by the FDA, partially socialized healthcare, insurance chicanery, foreign price controls, and some other things. I guess you could buy all the stroke medicine or something and then jack up the prices, but I don't think any third party has managed to do that. Also, unlike seasonal crops, manufactured goods will continue to be produced, so unless there is an expected spike in demand you won't really be able to control the price, and you won't make money from trying to corner the market.

The part prohibiting dealings in motion picture box office receipts was added to the law in 2010 as part of the Dodd-Frank Act. The original law only dealt with onions. From Dodd-Frank: (a) IN GENERAL.-Section 1a of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1a) is amended- (4) in paragraph (9) (as redesignated by paragraph (1)), by striking ‘‘except onions’’ and all that follows through the period at the end and inserting the following: ‘‘except onions (as provided by the first section of Public Law 85-839 (7 U.S.C. 13-1)) and motion picture box office receipts (or any index, measure, value, or data related to such receipts), and all services, rights, and interests (except motion picture box office receipts, or any index, measure, value or data related to such receipts) in which contracts for future delivery are presently or in the future dealt in.’’ So don't blame Ford or Cuddlebuns for that.

OMG! When I was about 12 years old, I cooked up a scheme to make a fortune in onion futures! My dad actually went so far as to stop in a brokerage, where he was told that there was no such thing as onion futures. If he had only known why! I didn't think I'd ever hear anything more about onion futures, if I'd thought about it at all!

The worst thing I see in this is government changing the rules half way through the game. If it can be done with onions it can be done with any other item.
@Winasaurus3 жыл бұрын
As is the case with just about anything remotely profitable. And just was, with the gamestop stocks fiasco. A bunch of independent traders banded together and lost 'proper traders' a lot of money, to the point the government stepped in to prevent further losses. They've done it with onions, they've done it with company stocks, they'll gladly do it again if it's something that threatens the stability of the market as a whole.

1955... Wait a minute. Great Scott! I always wondered how Biff could make so much money with Grays Sports Almanac and not have everyone gunning for him, especially unsavory gamblers who would have put him six feet under by 1985. Now I know. He actually used a fake name and bought all the onions instead! :-)
