    Porsche wanted to buy stock in Volkswagen- a little too much stock. It turns out, Porsche wanted to OWN Volkswagen! What was their plan to trick the stock market? And how did it fail?

      It's really not that complex. When you short, a broker lends an electronic asset (shares for example) and buys them back from you later. If the price at the moment you give them back to the broker is lower than when they lended them to you, you make a profit and they take a loss. It's a Contract For (Price) Difference where a trader or investor expects the price of an asset to drop.

      The crazy thing is that shorts still haven't covered for Gamestop! That huge run up in January was a gamma squeeze mixed with FOMO before the stock buy button was turned off by a number of brokers. The DTCC confirmed in a hearing the other day that no one was margin called during that period. Gamestop is still a tinderbox and has only gotten worse since January

      It's a German thing(and really all people everywhere thing when families start a business together). Adi and Rudi Dassler, the brother's who started Adidas, hated one another every since they where forced to share a plate of Vanillekipferl.... The brotherly battle led to a split in the sneaker giant Adidas. Rudi who had had enough, went on to pimp another sneaker brand that we all know as Puma. Probably because his brothers real first name was Adolf, Adi was the nick name.

      The Porsche 911 had an engine borrowed from a VW Beetle, but it was different, it was an iconic high revving engine, though it's was the same air-cooled, N.A flat displacement engine. It also had a bigger litre capacity, had tons of tuning to it, and most importantly it had 2 more cylinders(flat six, instead of a flat four.). And I can somehow say that Porsche is still maintaining that legendary engine till date(though it's no more air-cooled, has modern engine updates and a turbocharger), but not Beetle. The present day Beetle's engine is completely different from the engine that we used to get in a 60's Beetle.
