用法学习: 1. A short squeeze 打压空头 (In finance, a short sale 空头, 卖空 ( long 多头, 买空 In terms of a security, such as a stock or a bond, or equivalently to be long in a security, means the holder of the position owns the security and will profit if the price of the security goes up. Going long a security is the more conventional practice of investing. ) (also known as a short 空头, 做空, shorting, or going short) is the sale of an asset (securities or other financial instrument) that the seller has borrowed in order to profit from a subsequent fall in the price of the asset. After borrowing the asset, the short seller sells it to a buyer at the market price at that time. Subsequently, the resulting short position is "covered" when the seller repurchases the same asset (i.e. an instrument of the same type) in a market transaction and delivers the purchased asset back to the lender to replace the asset that was initially borrowed. In the event of an interim price decline, the short seller will profit, since the cost of (re)purchase will be less than the proceeds received upon the initial (short) sale. Conversely, the short position will result in a loss if the price of a shorted asset rises prior to repurchase. ) is a rapid increase in the price of a stock that occurs when there is a lack of supply and an excess of demand for the stock. Short squeezes result when short sellers 短线卖家 cover their positions (空头回头去补给借给他的人) on a stock, resulting in buying volume that drives the stock price up. This can occur if the price has risen to a point where short sellers must make margin calls 决定抛售, or more loosely if short sellers simply decide to cut their losses and get out. This may happen in an automated manner for example if the short sellers had previously placed stop-loss 及时止损 ( I. denoting or relating to an order to sell a security or commodity at a specified price in order to limit a loss. A stop loss is an order that contains an instruction to buy (or sell) a security once its price reaches a certain point (i.e. a price lower than the amount you paid). an instruction to a broker to sell shares if they go down to a particular price: With each share you pick, you should also set a stop-loss. Hold the shares for now, but set a stop-loss limit at 67p. A stop limit is an order with two specific price points that have to be met. The main difference between the two orders is the level of specificity. II. denoting or relating to a policy of forcibly retaining members of the armed forces on active duty beyond their original agreed period of enlistment. ) orders with their brokers to prepare for this possibility. Since covering their positions involves buying shares, the short squeeze causes an ever further rise in the stock's price, which in turn may trigger additional margin calls and short covering.

To be clear, I am making a play. That's what I like to call "the prisoner's dilemma." No, you don't like to call it that. That's what it's called. Started as a thought experiment, game theory in the '50s. Does no one ever check you on this bullshit? I'm just saying, I would've made the same play. the prisoner's dilemma: The prisoner's dilemma is a standard example of a game analyzed in game theory that shows why two completely rational individuals might not cooperate, even if it appears that it is in their best interests to do so. wiki: Albert W. Tucker formalized the game with prison sentence rewards and named it "prisoner's dilemma", presenting it as follows: Two members of a criminal gang are arrested and imprisoned. Each prisoner is in solitary confinement with no means of communicating with the other. The prosecutors lack sufficient evidence to convict the pair on the principal charge, but they have enough to convict both on a lesser charge. Simultaneously, the prosecutors offer each prisoner a bargain. Each prisoner is given the opportunity either to betray the other by testifying that the other committed the crime, or to cooperate with the other by remaining silent. The offer is: If A and B each betray the other, each of them serves two years in prison; If A betrays B but B remains silent, A will be set free and B will serve three years in prison (and vice versa); If A and B both remain silent, both of them will only serve one year in prison (on the lesser charge). It is implied that the prisoners will have no opportunity to reward or punish their partner other than the prison sentences they get and that their decision will not affect their reputation in the future. Because betraying a partner offers a greater reward than cooperating with them, all purely rational self-interested prisoners will betray the other, meaning the only possible outcome for two purely rational prisoners is for them to betray each other. The interesting part of this result is that pursuing individual reward logically leads both of the prisoners to betray when they would get a better reward if they both kept silent. In reality, humans display a systemic bias towards cooperative behavior in this and similar games despite what is predicted by simple models of "rational" self-interested action. An extended "iterated" version of the game also exists. In this version, the classic game is played repeatedly between the same prisoners, who continuously have the opportunity to penalize the other for previous decisions. If the number of times the game will be played is known to the players, then (by backward induction) two classically rational players will betray each other repeatedly, for the same reasons as the single-shot variant. In an infinite or unknown length game there is no fixed optimum strategy, and prisoner's dilemma tournaments have been held to compete and test algorithms for such cases. The prisoner's dilemma game can be used as a model for many real world situations involving cooperative behavior. In casual usage, the label "prisoner's dilemma" may be applied to situations not strictly matching the formal criteria of the classic or iterative games: for instance, those in which two entities could gain important benefits from cooperating or suffer from the failure to do so, but find it difficult or expensive—not necessarily impossible—to coordinate their activities. a blitz [blɪts] on sth 突击做事情 UK informal a great effort to improve something or do something that needs to be done: We had a blitz on the house at the weekend and cleaned it completely. ), and, uh, that's costing you some headaches, which is too fucking bad.

Regarding definition, I think they can technically be synonymous which may be the source of your confusion. Usage is everything with these terms though, context will tell you whether something is real or not. To elaborate on this, "palpable" is generally used figuratively ( it's often used to talk about the feelings in the air etc. eg. the excitement in the room was palpable. a "palpable sense of tension" isn't really something you can palpate (touch) any more than you could literally "cut the tension with a knife") whereas "tangible" 切实的证据 is generally used literally ( Tangible is usually used to express something that is physically there... "tangible evidence" is evidence you can actually touch). However, medically speaking something palpable can literally be palpated, and you could use "palpable" to mean "tangible," as in "palpable evidence," though this is not something you often see.).

It is more intimate than stage magic because it doesn't require expensive, large-scale stage equipment and can thus be performed closer to the audience and without a stage. Many of the tricks performed by platform magicians are sufficiently angle-sensitive as to make them impossible to perform as micromagic. Most working magicians are parlor/platform magicians. ), knowing my address. That'll look like a fun intimidation tactic when I write this up. Oh. You're not writing this up.
