    Newton made a small profit and sold, but regretted getting out too early and bought back in near the top (FOMO) and rode the shares down to the bottom. That’s how the South Sea Bubble broke Newton, a man who famously avoided company and didn’t pay much attention to the news.

    >10% down, no payments for a year Kind of unrelated, but that quote brought this to mind: I often wonder if the surge over the past two years of "buy now, pay later" platforms is setting up a catastrophic bubble of bad credit. Ie, which companies are recognizing revenue and when? Are retailers recognizing future revenue on the promise of payment from those platforms? Or are those platforms paying retailers in full and using debt to provide credit which could very well default?

    Take everything I say with a grain of salt, I believe in australia BNPL takes a few percent cut from the sale, otherwise the retailer is paid in full Interestingly, the contract between the two companies doesn’t allow the retailer to add that fee to the price (on an individual level, like credit card fees), but has to jack up the price for everyone including cash/credit card sales. But the government is looking at legislating that clause out of existence
