TERM OF THE DAY:
What is....
' Liquidation '?
--
In finance and economics, liquidation is an event that usually occurs when a company is insolvent, meaning it cannot pay its obligations as and when they come due.
The company’s operations are brought to an end, and its assets are divvied up among creditors and shareholders, according to the priority of their claims. Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code governs liquidation proceedings; solvent companies can also file for Chapter 7, but this is uncommon. Not all bankruptcies involve liquidation; Chapter 11, for example, involves rehabilitating the bankrupt entity and restructuring its debts.

Breaking Down...
' Liquidation ':
--
Liquidation is the process of bringing a business to an end and distributing its assets to claimants. Once the process is complete, the business is dissolved. This is not the same as its debts being discharged, as happens when an individual files for Chapter 7. The debts still exist in theory, at least until the statute of limitations has expired, but there is no debtor to pay them, so they must be written off in practice.
Assets are distributed based on the priority of various parties’ claims, with a trustee appointed by the Department of Justice overseeing the process. The most senior claims belong to secured creditors, who have collateral on loans to the business. These lenders will seize the collateral and sell it—often at a significant discount, due to the short time frames involved. If that does not cover the debt, they will recoup the balance from the company’s remaining liquid assets, if any.
Next in line are unsecured creditors. These include bondholders, the government (if it is owed taxes) and employees (if they are owed unpaid wages or other obligations). Finally, shareholders receive any remaining assets, in the unlikely event that there are any. In such cases, investors in preferred stock have priority over holders of common stock.
Liquidation can also refer to the process of selling off inventory, usually at steep discounts. It is not necessary to file for bankruptcy to liquidate inventory.
Trading: Liquidating A Position:
Liquidation can also refer to the act of exiting a securities position. In the simplest terms, this means selling the position for cash; another approach is to take an equal but opposite position in the same security, for example, by shorting the same number of shares that make up a long position in a stock. A broker may forcibly liquidate a trader’s positions if the trader’s portfolio has fallen below the margin requirement or she has demonstrated a reckless approach to risk-taking.

Since Steemit dev's changed the size of the picture frame that shows, it has honestly been a real problem getting images to match the screen, it was perfectly fine months ago before they messed around with it.
SMH.
Thanks for reading, have a nice day.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, trying to build community, put out content and engage people, help and donate to people, and I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.

dear steem poineer, congrats for such success and knowledge
Thanks for the article. I did know the "Liquidation can also refer to the act of exiting a securities position. In the simplest terms, this means selling the position for cash;" part, but havent really come into contact with the rest.
Will you be posting more about parts of the candle?
In the future likely yes.
This series is incredibly valuable- and not overwhelming at all. Thanks for thinking about the needs of community members and responding generously. I think that example is worth more than anything else.
Hey man, thanks.
I really do think this is a valuable, regular simple tool.
Kinda sounds like the mayor of my town, minus the valuable part.
