Answer:

Explanation:

quickly experienced the loss of the 10% they held in the stock. The other 90% was absorbed by the banks who went belly up because they were stupid enough to cover the difference between what the stock was worth and the small amount the shareholder had put up.

We still have margin but you have to be awfully careful how you use it or awfully dumb. The best way to buy the stock is not to use margin at all, especially if you don't fully know what it is or what it can do. There are no free lunches in the stock market, and there is nothing that is 100% safe. Everything in the market is a risk.

The correct answer is D. You could sue for defamation if the allegations were true, but your reputation suffered.

Explanation

Defamation is the name by which the action of spreading an accusation towards another person is known that can cause damage to the honor, dignity or reputation of the accused who is accused. Therefore, if Senator Jones has evidence, he could sue for defamation of the media. However, the fragment also refers to Anne Tracy having witnesses to support her accusation, so it would be unlikely that Senator Jones had evidence to declare him innocent. On the other hand, if he were innocent, his reputation in society had already been affected. So the correct answer is D. He could sue for defamation if the accusations were true but his reputation was damaged.
