    JPM Derivatives Monster

    just my 2 cents but this guy, in addition to having a less than clear writing style (confusing market flows, etc), doesn't have a clue...the lion's share of exposure is in the more esoteric derivatives...not exchange traded products. the outstanding notional value of otc derivatives swamps...

    Forecasting Volatility for Option trading

    convergence of implied and historic vols is decent signal in fx markets...not sure about equites...might be worth looking at... just my 2 cents :)

    JPM Derivatives Monster

    counterparties are corporations that issue bonds, insurance companies, hedge funds.... article is sensationalistic but it sure gets the point across... imo derivatives dealing banks are aware that they pose a systemic risk but are confident the fed will bail them out...the "too big to...

    Trading Journal - July

    institutional side of citigroup is likely reason sellers are all over this stock...exposure in credit default (and other otc derivatives-off balance sheet) is why hedge funds are playing the short side...the retail/consumer business does not show this exposure at all.... tried to sell citi, jpm...

    I hate my Broker or Prop Firm

    just my 2 cents but a couple of things you've said suggest that you are trading with "scared money"--never a good start, "chasing the market" suggests you haven't been properly trained and your high level of frustration will likely keep you losing... i had a friend at worldco whose cut was...

    Nasdaq 5k

    just my 2 cents but the corp scandals/thievery have the potential to erode more than investor confidence...they might well make it difficult to raise capital for years to come. believe nasdaq composition will change significantly over the next 2 to 3 years with stocks de-listing, fewer firms...
