Think of short as a negative share position. To close it out, buy the shares in the market at the (hopefully lower) price. You've (1) sold at a higher price and (2) bot at a lower …

What good is a vote if the choices aren't honestly presented?

For us, the most frequent issue on our land line are out-of-country calls (so out of jurisdiction) trying to sell duct cleaning services. We've gone as far as booking a couple of a…

Very interesting content and I hadn't encountered it before, but can we get a (2016) tag as it's not 'new'.

Re. the number of machines, it's something I've encountered as an obstacle from a fair proportion of people I've spoken about password managers to. I think its more a perceived iss…
