I think you also could do a simple forward sale or total return swap. I know I saw marketing of total return single name swaps to some whales as tax efficient hedges of appreciated shares in mid 80s.

Itβs always a matter of will not resources.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

a meme β the top says βMy dog just got a haircut and now he looks like he gave up drinking and got his life togetherβ and underneath are 2 photos of a dog (a schnauzer i think?). on the left, the βbefore,β heβs scruffy and in need of a haircut and a bath. and on the right, the βafter,β heβs clean and clipped and wearing a jaunty red bow tie and looking very dapper indeed.
i donβt know if itβs the jaunty bow tie or what but i cannot stop laughing at this
