BBSW-Based Derivatives Bank Bill Swap Rate

I got paperwork for the BBSW Settlement and that was the first I heard of it. Has anyone else got the paperwork and know any more about this settlement?

The way to protect farmers would be to put the shitbag Corzine and his criminal coworkers in jail. Not only that but there should be prosecutions against all those who failed to regulate MFGlobaL -they should be charged with criminal negligence. It's a bit late for the CME to be riding to the...

But maybe there's justice in Europe? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2125142/Alex-Hope-City-whizzkid-spent-150k-bottle-champagne-arrested-financial-fraud.html "City rules state that, while Hope is allowed to trade currencies – converting pounds into dollars or euros and vice...

I'm surprised that a few people have said that rents are going up. I'm sure that's what the realtors will tell you but it is not my experience in IL. In fact it's got considerably cheaper over the last five years in spite of the fact that there are so many empty and foreclosed properties.

I am sick and tired of these politicians who think that all they have to do is say 'I take full responsibility' and that absolves them of the burden of taking any responsibility. If Corzine really took any responsibility then he would give a straight answer about whether he authorized the...

A link from Peter Yastrow's website. He is one of the big boys on the CME and has an interesting take on MFGlobal. Scroll down to comments for his take. http://blog.peteryastrow.com/?p=549#comments

Free markets and anarchy are not the same thing. Capitalism requires a minimal legal framework that needs to be efficiently enforced without prejudice. MF Global clearly broke the rules and committed criminal acts. If we cannot rely on the law to protect people from having money stolen from...

Nobody lost money with Refco apparently. Well everyone lost money with Griffin. The first comment doesn't give me much comfort. Can anyone explain to me why MF are refusing to communicate with the firms that clear through them? Are they too busy shredding documents?

Cme are just flexing their muscles and expressing their distaste at their politician slaves. Emmanuel , the illegitimate mayor and Quinn are owned by the CMEGroup. They are their biggest financial contributors and they will serve their masters -that is how American "democracy" and the cancer...

applejuice, I think you are 10 years too late in thinking that staring at the orderbook would be a good investment. The truth is, that especially if you are looking at retail software, such as TT, staring at the book you will miss the bulk of the trading. I'm not talking about block trades...

There really is no danger of the FSA taking on one of the big boys as you know. But once in a while they will make an example of some small timer in order to make it look like they are doing their job. Ironically, removing an individual like this makes it even easier for the big boys -they can...
