I have heard this term used in a number of legal contexts and never been quite sure what it means.
Sometimes I have heard judges say it and it is clear they mean “the parties will not be telling the court what to do”.
Other times the meaning is a bit less clear.
How have you heard this phrase used?
I'm a short-term degenerate options trader(mostly intra-day, max few weeks), usually just an occasional lurker on this sub. This is a long post, so if you want skip to the meat of it jump to, Feedback Loops.
Given the recent market volatility and all the theorizing around causes/possible outcomes(omicron, fed, etc.) and discussions around stocks/indices being "cheap"/"overvalued"/etc. I thought I'd share some info on how options activity might be the primary driver of the erratic stock price movements recently (and in the near future). As a result even if you only trade stocks, it might be worth your while to learn how options impact the game.
Options trading activity is at an all-time high as of November(in last 2 years, on some days, options volume is higher than underlying stock volume!) and this leads to very large buying/selling flows of the underlying stocks from market makers who are hedging their risk. Depending on how close we are to large options expiration dates the behavior of these flows can change drastically setting off large market movements in either direction.
Last monthly OPEX(options expiration) occurred on 11/19, next large OPEX will be on 12/17. I think 11/19 OPEX is what paved the way for the subsequent drop the following week in markets due to large shift in market maker hedges after OPEX. I also think if there's a bounce in the market for a Santa Rally it will likely be near/shortly after the next OPEX on 12/17. Below I explain in detail how market maker hedging of stock options can drive price flow in the underlying stocks. I've attempted to keep it simple enough for people of any experience level to follow.
Basics
Price and Order Book
Every trade made in the market has 2 sides to it. A buyer and a seller. "Price" as we see on a chart is a real-time negotiation occurring between a group of buyers and a group of sellers. The results of these negotiations are entered into a ledger called an order book. We typically visualize that order book as stock charts, tickers, etc.
The amount of real buyers/sellers that will want to negotiate at any given time determines how easy it will be for you to buy/sell a stock (a.k.a liquidity). If you don't have enough buyers/sellers at a price, then price will have to move up or down in order to entice more buyer/sellers. Less buyers/sellers or an imbalance of buyers/sellers -> more price movement.
Futures/Options
Futures can be thought of as a trade that's added to the o

when i get to the vet office and whisper my goodbye, her tail is still wagging
This is not in any way meant to be a comparison. Just a noticeable trait. There is no scientific link, please don’t take this seriously. I just personally find it conforming as I relate a lot to animals.
was too funny for me to not share it, and I did not have anyone to share it with
update as im halfway through this - it isnt as funny
update 2 - oh god im the doggo version of a sad cat lady
He curled up next to a tree as the sun began to set, optimism fading, and he began to wonder what it was he had done wrong.
We’ve had her since we rescued her at 2 years old and she’s my entire world. We got her when I was 14 right after my dad cheated on my mom and left our family in pieces, and she’s been the best thing that’s ever happened to us from that day onward. My mom lives on another continent with her so I can’t say goodbye to her in person. Does anyone who’s dealt with the loss of their pup have any advice for me? I genuinely don’t know how to move forward without her :(
I had my friend bring over her dog the other day for socialization and my 3 m/o golden doodle puppy was fearful at first of both her and her dog, then my puppy transitioned to barking and lunging at her dog while still not allowing my friend to pet her. I was worried about this but she was bowing and her tail was wagging too so I’m not sure if I should be worried. She also hid under the couch a few times barking underneath as well. The lunging is more of a concern than the barking. The other dog was calm and also barking but no lunging on his part. She goes on walks and is properly exercised.
Is this something I should be extremely worried about? Will she grow out it as she gets more socialization? Is this a fear response?
I’ve been trying to counter condition this behavior by giving treats when I see a dog coming, and having my dog sit and look at me while I feed her treats. Sometimes she won’t at all be triggered by another dog , will come up to meet them calmly , and other times she will just growl and lunge at a dog even though she is in a calm state. Any suggestions how to stop this behavior and also what is causing it?
Is it like a reflex to happiness or is it intentional to show their mood? Our dog doesn't even seem aware of his own tail and I'm truly curious if he even knows he's wagging it half the time!
