Really? I read it here.

"USS Langley (CV-1/AV-3) was the United States Navy's first aircraft carrier, converted in 1920 from the collier [coal ship] USS Jupiter"

EDIT: OK, I see what you were saying. You were looking for "What was the Jupiter?"

Correct. The USS Jupiter became the first [US] carrier, which was Christened the USS Langley.

The maximum loss on a short put would only be the original strike price of the stock (minus premium), but not be an infinite amount of money. However, you are very close.

i'm not a trader, but wouldn't your max exposure on selling short be infinite, since the price of a share could grow infinitely? even on a margin call, you could be SOL if it grew so fast that a broker couldn't react quick enough to close your position or something to that effect. .

I believe that is true for short sale of a call, and with it being uncovered, aka a "short naked call". If the stock price increased to infinity, so would your exposure. Was looking for "short naked call".

AUDIO DAILY DOUBLE

"It is widely considered the first Rock-and-Roll single, which also featured one of the earliest recorded examples of distorted electric guitar sound, the result of a damaged amplifier hastily stuffed with wadded newspapers."

i don't know but... who is chubby checkers?

Not Chubby.

CLUE: It was a tribute to a car.

ANOTHER CLUE: The single was not officially credited to the real recording artists. The leader of the actual recording group would later be a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee along with his then wife, who herself would one day ask, "What's love got to do with it?"
