[00:30] quantity, remember that we are now at 50x. Therefore, if I put 50 here, 50x. Therefore, if I put 50 here, look, the cost becomes 1.04 or $ if I go short. So, I place a sell order, go down, and now I have a
[00:43] short position with $, meaning I'll lose $ if things go very badly, but if I win I can make more money. And that's where we see how the price is moving. It's also going to be very slow. I can press the button that says close and then
[00:56] confirm. We see that it says NLP estimated 5 6 cents, 7 cents. And well, that's what I 6 cents, 7 cents. And well, that's what I won. Yeah.
