【Answer to question 1】B
【analysis】
B is correct. The potential gains on a short position are limited to no more than 100%; the potential losses are unbounded. The lowest market price per share an investor can repurchase the stock to return to the security’s lender is $0, so the maximum gain is ($50 – $0) × 100 = $5,000.
A is incorrect. The potential losses are unbounded because the market price that an investor can repurchase the stock to return to the security’s lender can go up with no limit. If the stock goes from $50 to $135 per share the loss would be $8,500.
C is incorrect. The potential gains on a short position are limited to no more than 100%: ($50 – $0) × 100 = $5,000.
【Answer to question 2】A
【analysis】
A is correct.
成功=时间+方法，自制力是这个等式的保障。世上无天才，高手都是来自刻苦的练习。而人们经常只看到“牛人”闪耀的成绩，其成绩背后无比寂寞的勤奋。小编相信，每天都在勤奋练习，即使是一点点的进步，大家一定可以成为人人称赞的“牛人”。
