stop-loss order

Read a random definition: chirograph

A quick definition of stop-loss order:

A stop-loss order is a type of instruction given to a broker to buy or sell a security when its price reaches a certain level. This helps investors protect themselves from losses by setting a predetermined price at which they want to sell or buy. For example, if an investor owns a stock that is currently worth $50 and sets a stop-loss order at $45, the broker will automatically sell the stock if its price drops to $45 or below. This can help prevent the investor from losing too much money if the stock's price continues to fall.

A more thorough explanation:

A stop-loss order is a type of order in the stock market that instructs a broker to buy or sell a security when its price reaches a certain level, known as the stop price. This order is used to limit an investor's loss or protect their profit.

For example, if an investor buys a stock at $50 per share and sets a stop-loss order at $45, the broker will automatically sell the stock if its price drops to $45 or below. This helps the investor limit their loss if the stock price continues to fall.

Another example is if an investor buys a stock at $50 per share and sets a stop-loss order at $55, the broker will automatically sell the stock if its price rises to $55 or above. This helps the investor protect their profit if the stock price starts to decline.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
