This is incorrect... The relevant part of the law (common and statutory both) is as follows: "A person may use such force as is reasonable in the circumstances in the prevention of crime or in arresting offenders or suspects." English courts have upheld that the above principle is applicable...

Ah, so it appears that adult conversation remains out of your reach also... Get back to me when you wanna talk, rather than spout childish nonsense.

+1 It's unfortunate that someone like Don repeats this meaningless number.

I see you still haven't learned to address me directly, my turbulent friend? Now what is it that I can help you with here?

Right, so let me start off on my own... Let's say that I am convinced that Japan is a bubble. I am looking to join Kyle Bass in finding a Japan blowup trade. Here's the very first question I have to answer: what is the right market to look at for the blowup trade? Let's say I only have to...

I thought I wasn't ever going to hear names "Alan Greenspan" and "Robert Rubin" described as "luminaries" again :). How sorely mistaken I!

Very depressing to read this... Anyways, I don't want to derail this thread any more, so I'll shut up.

Speaking as a foreigner, but expressing my personal opinion... I have long given up on the American political system. It's currently incapable of producing viable candidates that would be able to deal with the various important issues that need to be dealt with. While I think Romney/Ryan...

I think this is a discussion that we've had already on another thread. I expressed similar sentiment, but people were not very "receptive" to my way of thinking, to put it mildly. So you might be asking for trouble here...

Nothing to do with options, per se, but this is actually a shocking truth across markets. For a massive oligopolistic industry characterized by fat margins and large IT spending, the general state of the infrastructure is piss poor, IMHO.

Yes, that's right... There's also a new dimension that's been somewhat key after the financial crisis, but isn't too important right now. Specifically, Eurodollar prices also incorporate a proxy measure of the health and liquidity of the banking system, i.e. the LIBOR-OIS spread. There are a...

I am in agreement with cdc on this particular quote, I'm afraid to say. It really says nothing to me that I don't already know. The important bit that the author should have concentrated on, IMHO, is the understanding of what the flows exactly are and why they're occurring at any given time...

I am sorry for your loss :). In general, with all due respect, Don, I think you should be more careful with recommendations like this, especially when addressed at novices. The proper understanding of all the nuances of your friend's somewhat correct statement requires experience and hard...

I don't think Weidmann is resigning, personally. Furthermore, if he does in fact resign, I don't think it's gonna be good for risk. His deputy and most probable replacement, Jens Ulbrich, is cast from the same mold, if not worse.

It is absolutely possible. Obviously, the reasoning behind such a trade will need to take into account the holding period. In general, I think it's very healthy to try and diversify across time horizons and have trades of all sorts. The beauty of Eurodollars is that, with futures and options...

Eurodollar strip is colored like this (all in reference to quarterly contracts) - contracts 1 to 4 are the "whites" (currently U2 to M3) - contracts 5 to 8 are the "reds" (currently U3 to M4) - contracts 9 to 12 are the "greens" (currently U4 to M5) - contracts 13 to 16 are the "blues"...

More like brain science, for sure...

You can do either and there's no real tangible benefit either way. Because I trade other products that are quoted in yield terms, when doing analysis I find it a bit easier to look at futures in yield also. In options, you definitely need to go through a voice broker. In futures, you can...
