You nailed it.

Not offensive behavior. It was LIBEL. And Baron removed what was posted immediately. How funny that you just referenced an "incident" that was 5 years ago - - - yet your ET profile says that you are a "new" member as of October 2008. Busted. How many aliases do you have on ET anyway???

BUSTED!!! :D Seriously, I think that this now confirms what I have long thought . . . that S2007 is simply a professional ET poster. Whether or not this is known ( and supported ) by ET has yet to be answered by Baron. Time for Baron to make a statement on this conundrum.

Pull your head out and get real. I'm a registered Republican and Kudlow annoys me!

Thanks Mup! 954.27 SPX with 1 minute left in the session!

No one has declared these CDS "contracts" illegal. The amount of counter-party risk isn't going away anytime soon. There are still a series of CDS auctions coming up . . . and just because you think that CDS's could be declared "illegal" doesn't mean that the current counter-party risk ( which...

Good Luck on that.

:confused:

Wrong. It's about half that. $34.8 trillion as of October 9th.

The "Golden State", CALIFORNIA is at $1.8 Trillion which places it #8 in the world if the state were considered a Country. In 1999, it ranked #6. :)

But half their population makes only $2 per day. That's impressive!

While your example is a good one, you forget to add that the hedge funds and other "parties" that sold the CDS has had to comply with stringent collateral requirements . . . As Lehman CDS fell in value ( before and after their BK ), protection sellers would have had to provide increasing amounts...

This kind of reminds me of how the media was throwing around a $75 TRILLION number for the CDS market . . . but what they didn't tell you was the fact that the number they were quoting included both "sides" of the trade . . . Thus, the REAL number is somewhere around half that . . . something...

Should this not be moved out of the TRADING forum?

I agree with the first half of your post. As for Ivy League MBA's . . . there are some that have traded on the floor and done very well. Case in point: Mark Fisher of NYMEX/COMEX fame and MBF Clearing, a summa cum laude Wharton Business School grad. He too, started out as a "runner" on the...

Apparently, she came across a Merrill research report earlier in the week that indicated that there was a HUGE put imbalance with $135 Billion delta ( exercise probability ) weighted open interest towards puts. As of the close on Friday, the 10th, this put exposure represented 40% of the open...

Not only do I have the Edwards and Magee book, but I have something that you most likely do not, H.M. Gartley's "Profits in the Stock Market" which I bought on recommendation of my first boss, Trader Victor Sperandeo back in 1984. http://www.wdgann.com/pages/store_detail.php?pid=53 For...

Interesting comment. But you might have more credibility if you had spelled the word characteristics correctly.

And what does this have to do with TRADING???
