Canadian regulators consider rules to reveal identities of short sellers and details of their trades

Image
Over the past few years, a number of organizations have taken aim at several aspects of how Canada regulates short selling. Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press Canada’s securities regulators are considering whether the identity of short sellers, as well as the details of their trades, should be publicly disclosed when they take a significant position in a Canadian company. A coalition of Canadian regulators issued a notice Thursday asking market participants if they would support stricter transparency rules being imposed on short sellers, including disclosing their names and trading positions to the public whenever they make a significant short sale. The notice is part of a broader review of short selling – one of the most polarizing issues in the capital markets – by the Canadian Securities Administrators, the umbrella group for the country’s provincial and territorial securities commissions, and the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC). Short selling is a bet tha...

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
