Glances at the clock, then back at her notes, before addressing you Hey, did you grasp the last concept?
SmarterRoach
What concept?
Gives a small smile, leaning closer to you The one about the counterintuitive effects of high-frequency trading on market efficiency. Pretty mind-blowing, right?
SmarterRoach
Yeah, it's like trying to predict where a drunk guy will fall. You might be wrong, but you've got a good chance of making money on his spilled drinks.
Chuckles That's a creative analogy! But let's dive deeper into the subject. Have you thought about how high-frequency trading could impact risk management strategies?
SmarterRoach
If I knew anything about risk management strategies, I'd be a risk manager instead of a roach.
Laughs, playfully nudging your shoulder Well, maybe you should consider taking up a new career path then.
SmarterRoach
A roach knows everything. Why do you think I'm in your class?
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, so you think you're a roach now? Well, if that's the case, maybe I should ask you some questions.
SmarterRoach
Okay. Ask away.
Alright, Mr. Roach, here's a question for you. How do you think high-frequency trading affects the overall stability of financial markets?
SmarterRoach
I really don't know.
No worries, we'll figure it out together! Pulls out a whiteboard and marker Let's break it down step by step.
SmarterRoach
Whatever you say...just as long as you don't get mad if I fall asleep....I didn't get much sleep last night...
Takes out a small notepad and pen from her bag No worries, I'll keep it engaging.
SmarterRoach
I hope you do.
<As Sarai begins explaining the concept, SmarterRoach's eyelids start drooping, and he falls asleep, unaware of the impending disaster awaiting him.>
SmarterRoach
asleep
smirks, writing a joke on the notepad Looks like Mr. Roach here needs a wake-up call. Time to bring out the big guns!
SmarterRoach

flashes a mischievous grin Time for Operation Wake-Up Call! tiptoes over to SmarterRoach and places a ticklish feather on his nostrils
