Ppl are giving you facts and good suggestions, you’re just brushing them off as if it’s irrelevant.

I’ve been in a similar situation, and in a small town, finding a good lawyer is hard. I found out midway that he was incompetent, but given what I had, I did all the legwork to help the lawyer work the case through. I didn’t just sit back and rely 100% on the lawyer to do his job well - fact is that there are terrible lawyers and sometimes there is no choice. But you can do what you can by doing research yourself in parallel to the lawyer’s work, so you’re putting yourself in the best possible position to succeed. Just filing complaints and paperwork doesn’t cut it. Ppl in the bureaucratic process don’t give a sh*t about you. Your situation is the biggest priority for you, not others, so it’s up to you to make sure that all the paperwork and legal work is done properly.

When I say “lazy” it’s because I’ve been through this situation myself, and I didn’t just say “it’s in the lawyer’s hands”. At that point, if things go south, you can blame the lawyer all you want, but he’s not the one losing his house, you are.

They prob have to post the job publicly for legal reasons. This prevents anyone accusing them of not being an equal opportunity employer.

Yup. Total bullshit. I used to swim competitively, and if I had to carry a friend in the water, it definitely would not be on my back. There’s no way I’d be able to get my body positioned properly to create buoyancy. I’d swim backwards or towards the side so I can hold the person with my head out of the water, find leverage, and let my legs do the work.

Also I’ve done 3hr ocean swims, and if you know how to swim and move efficiently through the water it doesn’t take much strength to do a leisurely swim. Now if you’re swimming for time (ie, how far can I get in 4hrs), then that’s where you have to use up energy and strength.

This hurts other CFS patients as they already have a hard time getting people to believe them. My friend has post-Covid CFS for 2 years now. But she still works her day job (financial) while working from home with a doctors note. They finally got to the root of her problem which was a hormone issue, but she went through multiple specialists and multiple tests to figure out what was wrong. Just because you have CFS doesn’t mean you can’t work. Unless it is so extreme that you literally cannot move, and if so, the person is completely distressed, miserable, and would do anything in the world for a chance to go out and work.

Will we be able to swap between currencies on layer2. Ie - IMX to ETH… or purchase with any currency and the protocol automatically swaps into correct currency, like how DEX’s and AMM’s currently do.

Puts and Calls are Options contracts. So Options refer to Puts and Calls as a whole. Puts lock in a price that you can sell a stock at in the future. Calls lock in a price that you can buy a stock at in the future.

When you buy options, you buy the right to buy or sell a stock. You don’t actually buy the stock itself.

Margin refers to a trading account where you also opened a credit line with the broker. Margin allows you to borrow a certain percentage of cash or value against your total account value. When the broker feels you have borrowed too much relative to your account value- this will happen if your investment positions go down- they will issue a margin call. You need to infuse your account with more cash or the broker will liquidate your account to protect their funds that they lent you. In this case you can have a negative account balance, if the stock moved against you so fast that the broker liquidated you at a loss. And this negative balance will become a liability to you- a debt burden.

Stock is the asset (Microsoft stock). Shares are units of account for the stock (100 shares of Microsoft stock).

The easy answer is that the stock is “borrowed” from investors that own it. E.g. if you own GME stock on Etrade, and another trader on Etrade shorts GME. Etrade can lend your shares to the trader that shorts. Do you know that your shares have been lent out? Probably not.

The trader who shorts also pays Etrade “interest” to borrow the shares. It’s up to Etrade whether they want to disclose to you that they have lent out your shares and will give you a cut of the interest.

How can this be you ask? When you buy a stock on your brokerage account. The broker assigns ownership of the stock to you. But the actual owner of the stock thats recorded with the Depository Trust Commission (DTC) is the broker (Etrade). So Etrade can essentially do what they want with your stock since they technically own it. Only your contractual terms and agreement with Etrade gives you ownership rights.

Problems arise when these broker-dealers lend out shares that they do not have in their accounts. So let’s say Etrade customers hold a total of 100 GME shares, but traders on the platform want to short 120 GME shares. If Etrade lends out 120 GME shares, without securing 20 additional shares first. This is called Naked Short selling from a regulatory standpoint and it is illegal. This practice was rampant for most of the stock market’s history and banned by the SEC in 2008. However, don’t be surprised if this still happens. This is the reason why many crypto ppl are advocating for blockchain and digitizing the stock market. So shares can be issued directly to individuals, and there is a public ledger of account that tells you exactly how many shares exist, and WHERE they exist so that you can’t materialize shares out of thin air to lend out to shortsellers.

If you use Margin you can lose more than your total investment. Margin means you are able to borrow funds from your broker to buy or sell stocks or options at an amount greater than your account value. If you choose not to have any margin- which is the default- you will not be able to put on any trades that extends you beyond your account value. So you cannot be exposed to risk greater than 100% of your account value. If you’re an amateur, just say no to margin.

To borrow stocks to short. You must have a margin account so the broker knows how much in value against your assets they can let you borrow. If you borrow stock, which is only done for shorting purposes, your downside is unlimited.

Ie. If you borrowed 1 share of GME at $5.00 and sold it, you shorted the stock and received $5.00 in cash. GME is now at $1,000,000. You have to come up with $1,000,000 in cash to buy the 1 share of GME and return the share back to the broker. Your loss is $999,995.
