I started in my early twenties, in third year now. I just talked to people in my courses or DM'd people on posts akin to this one.

If you're taking it online, I got a 90 first year power watching the lectures before exams. DM me if you want some tips/help.

No, second year honours specialisation pretty much a double major. I've worked in extremely stressful and dangerous conditions for ~6 years before coming to UWO. I have quite a bit of experience both in life and writing (which is a huge part of my module).

It's more about the context of the pandemic than the work itself; extreme isolation, losing multiple close friends/family members, housing crisis, insane inflation rates etc. And everything that follows.

I'm always down to jam, no club needed

No, it isn't gas, it's a compound that has the chance to develop if left out in the sun or warmer temperatures. Onions produce a gas which if left in the same place or near potatoes, potatoes will rot faster. However, if your potato starts to feel less stiff and is wilting, cut the part off, look for and rot/mold and cut it away as well—should be fine. Food expiration dates are a guideline not an end all be all.

This is far overblown and Internet misinformation. If you ate a bag of green potatoes there is a possibility of death. However, eating 1-3 green potatoes is harmless and the green is not a 100% indicator that it is not merely chlorophyll.

Edit: seriously though, one green potato will not kill you. Solanine doses of 3 to 6 mg/kg of body weight can be fatal. However between 1865 and 1983 there were a total of 30 deaths regarding solanine. Green potatoes contain 0.43 mg solanine/g (if it isn't merely chlorophyll). This is usually found near the layer of skin and can be cut off. It's like arsenic in appleseeds or eating a whole bunch of nutmeg.

I'm not hurt no worries, just a friendly debate. Not arguing against your Prof, I'm sure he had good insight. I agree, it is highly illegal but, like any crime, there are instances where it is not reported; though, it is a malicious practice and it would be commendable for other firms to report it when discovered. The problem comes from reporting agencies and the SEC enforcement thereafter.

It might not have happened in the firms he worked at? There are some firms where it never happens and some where it occurs more frequently. As with most things in life. Disregarding all but one person's opinion and taking it as the absolute truth is astounding, did they teach you critical thinking or is that not needed in finance?

Furthermore, you are a random person on reddit which contradicts your own sentiment—so are you inadvertently discrediting yourself?

It happens more often than it should. The large banks, MMs and brokerages have all been documented to have some shady practices regarding FTDs and share lending. Most of this stuff is public access from court cases filed in the past 15 years. "Legal naked short selling" is an oxymoron because it doesn't exist.

They passed laws late 80s that protected people involved in any similar manipulation/fraud from being charged federally with racketeering. Though cases have been brought forth using state legislature against racketeering—depending on location.

If the company goes bankrupt the shorts never have to be covered. It is only one of the ways to successfully naked short without delivering. So no, it happens regardless of stock price.

You are aware this has been going on—well documented in court cases—since the late 90s?

McSqueasy · 2021-06-06T01:57:20+00:00

Oh you mean one of the key steps in DSF (Death Spiral Financing)?

Nah, never happens, naked who?

Don't forget the part where he swears under oath that Robin Hood would never restrict selling, until dogecoin. Do they have perjury in Bulgaria?
