【Answer to question 1】B

【analysis】

B is correct. The potential gains on a short position are limited to no more than 100%; the potential losses are unbounded. The lowest market price per share an investor can repurchase the stock to return to the security’s lender is $0, so the maximum gain is ($50 – $0) × 100 = $5,000.

A is incorrect. The potential losses are unbounded because the market price that an investor can repurchase the stock to return to the security’s lender can go up with no limit. If the stock goes from $50 to $135 per share the loss would be $8,500.

C is incorrect. The potential gains on a short position are limited to no more than 100%: ($50 – $0) × 100 = $5,000.

【Answer to question 2】A

【analysis】

A is correct.
