  2. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_and_flow#Stocks_and_flows_in_accounting

    “Thus, a stock refers to the value of an asset at a balance date“

    The abstraction of an ‘Asset’ in Accounting Science literally defines a stock measure...

    And yet this moron says an Asset is a flow....

    The big question is “why?”

    “Why?” is he so stupid?

    Solve that problem and all of this goes away....

  3. Well he’s not stupid. it’s you that are so stupid that you cannot understand the context and the content.
    He’s talking about the cash flow that assets and liabilities generate over say a period of one year.
    That’s pretty easy to understand if one understand context and content.
