How do you short ? You short by borrowing a stock, and selling it. Why would lending it instead of selling it be a naked short ?

by plouffy 6y ago
No. Person A has 100 stocks. Person B wants to short the stock. So Person B, borrows 50 stocks from person A and sells it to person C. The float is now > 100%.

Given that when a SPACS find a merger target you can chose either to invest in it or get your money back with interest, I'm not sure how the SPAC could ever be worthless.

by plouffy 6y ago
Yes. SPACS are not stocks, not sure what the other replier is talking about (they're SPVs). If a SPAC doesn't find a company to merge with you get your money back and some interest. If a SPAC finds a company, you have the choice t

Freedom of speech does not equate to freedom of consequences. Obvious example being standing in a cinema and yelling fire. Trump isn’t being banned because of his views, but because he has continued to violate Twitter’s T&C.

Courts have not declined to hear anything about fraud, Trump's lawyers are the ones that have declined to call it fraud. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/18/us/politics/trump-giulian...

Based on the info sheet "A quick change battery" would suggest they went for the non-rechargeable route.

I'm struggling to see how this article is awkward for the BBC. It's not as though the BBC has not reported the situation in the UK: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53592881 .

"Automated trading systems will probably raise alerts on that stock since someone must know something for that to happen." Unlikely. Automatic trading systems will not see their trades. Most (if not all) of WSB trades are done thr

Sounds dreadful. I don't think I've ever heard someone complain about green spaces in a city before: "I find this city too full of nature and open spaces, too vast for a long city walk, and way too dark at night" I would

Wouldn't this also be related to the European requirement for companies to account in their filings a measure of how climate change may impact them ?

Not unlimited. Your losses shorting a stock are capped at the price you borrowed it for (though technically it could be unlimited if you have to continue paying borrowing costs if you can't buy a share and close out your short [1]). [1

I recommend you read https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-05-09/the-ub... to get a better idea what is actually going on. Nothing crazy.

Pretty meaningless to present the numbers for passive funds without including the numbers for active inestors.

The article notes this: > Part of the problem, according to critics, is too much money now chases the same trends, undermining what traders call "alpha" — the outperformance possible relative to a benchmark.

It's also a capital issue. Softbank has so much money, that looking at $5m companies is just not worth their time.

The article mentions records of the results, but unfortunately all I could find is the announcement of the 19th draw (I think the results of the 18th draw are below, but they don't show names) [1]. Looks like you were right and the num
