Aren't you happy you didn't short it now? $108...

It's probably in your best interest that you can't short it. Srsly.

He was there on personal time so no immunity.

They do have internet access in psychiatric hospitals, right?

Goldman Sachs is just a bad company which delivers a poor product compared to its competitors at a much too high fee. Here's a nice article which illustrates what I mean: http://www.amsterdamtrader.com/2011/05/goldman-messing-up-clearing.html edit: Obviously this is just about the...

Pfff. What an idiocracy. Is there any evidence other than the maid's complaint? I doubt there is and I doubt there will be. Either this is just very bad luck for DSK (the maid might be so bored with her life that she may just do something like this out of her own initiative) or he is being...

tbh it's usually worked out best going short when puts were relatively expensive. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=CSFB:IND

This. These are not results from directional trades but from market making activities (I would hope). If they actually traded ES long/short there would be perhaps a 0.1% chance they had the same kind of record (no losses).

Here's how you go long volatility/VIX: Sell 1x OTM call Buy 2x OTM call for same premium as sold call Do some tricks yourself to find out what the optimal spread is. You may even go short premium a bit to make it worthwhile if nothing at all happens.

Barring a hyperinflationary (full and complete loss of credibility) event, a US state bankruptcy would skyrocket the dollar. More likely indeed is that rates rise, although rates are rising/beginning to rise everywhere now so the relative value of the dollar might still remain weak. Safe...

They've been warning about this for ages and I thank ppl such as yourself for your unfounded scepticism. Should the US "suddenly" experience issues that everyone saw coming they will lose what little credibility they had left.

big fucking surprise. If you didn't see this coming you shouldn't be involved in economics in any way.
