Well there are two kinds of shorts. Legitimate borrowed stock, and synthetics through options trading.

To the first part, yes. Absolutely. Happens every day. While you are the "owner" of the stock, whoever clears trades for your brokerage firm is the "custodian" of those holdings and has some leeway in what they do with it. My guess as to the second part is that the hedge fund almost certainly not a custodian or clearing firm, so they don't really have the authorization to do those negotiations.

This is literally my backyard. If the hedge blows up, whoever is holding the positions is ultimately responsible. When it comes to shorts, they have to locate the stock to borrow from someone. No idea who this groups custodian is, but essentially whoever is authorizing the shorts as borrowed would be the person liable if they over extend the hedge fund. Honestly, it isn't very easy to do, and they are probably pretty well capitalized even with the losses. Typically it would be a clearing firm though.

Definitely, but it will also probably jam up the ballot again with guys who get significant amounts of vote, but not enough to get elected.

He was probably going to sign there anyways, but if they can force the price up, and force them to add a year, yes it is a win.

Arod and Ortiz are going to run into the same thing that lots of the other steroid guys ran into.

Uh Derrick Rose?

Yeah, hopefully people are taking their gains if they were on the long side of this because when it goes... look out. There is no technical bottom until at least the original highs.

Judging by Stone's reaction, I am not sure that one of substance actually exists.

Without knowing what the NL situation looks like, this seems right on.

You could almost read this as the White Sox trying to cost the Twins some money and another year on a deal.

Schwab has had problems all day today too.

Its wild. Been doing this since 1998, and can't recall anything like this.

My compensation package thanks them.

For my two cents, barring injury Vaughn is a sure bet to be on the roster at some point in 2021. Even if they sign Cruz, they will work him in with a bench role at some point.

Hopefully he considers it. I wonder if he also realizes that his job in 2021 could depend on it. I would bet dollars to donuts that a lack of an extension in 21 makes it more likely the Sox spend on a starting DH.

And there was talk they thought about calling him up last year.

The kid is one of the top hitting prospects in baseball. Why wouldn't people be high on him?

I bought a crude ETF a couple of days after it went negative and pretty much doubled that. I sold off part of it, and found an option series in this to day trade. Going to just try to pick off like $50 a round turn. It is so active, yet is pretty well range bound.

GME went over $300 this morning.

Actually it was the support of sedition and insurrection that seemed to make the difference.

Ok I am going to need an official written explanation from each of the six laugh react posters to verify that they are indeed laughing with, and not at, this post.

He treated Hawk with the same contempt, and does to Jason at times as well. He's just so arrogant.

The Sox aren't spending 10 million a year on a back up OF.

You can just leave off the "on Twitter" part.
