Unless you have 10MM notional, most CDS deals are traded in the OTC market. 10MM is about the smallest we will work with on the desk.. The dealers, spread the things out wider than a football goalpost partially because the pricing on some of them is so shaky. Rooms of pricing specialists come...

I do have some pity remaining in my heart... I'll donate $1 to my laid-off mortgage broker acquaintance who constantly bullied me in high school.... :D ONE DOLLAR WINTHORPE!

yep..... close to that.. it was around 800k early in feb 800k to "insure" per 10M mtge debt against default... This has the makings of a crisis... I just hope some "LTCM Genius" didn't think to leverage himself to the hilt and start selling the index thinking Kudlow's spewing would be...

I didn't know Suze coming out would have such a polarized effect! whatever... i personally don't care... who she boinks in bed doesn't affect me, and i don't listen to her financial advice. i just think it's funny (in my own way) :p

correction... the spread action for yield curve is actually not so much on the 30y per se, it's at the 2/5/10 level.

10year is the benchmark... it actually has the most volume you can do a 2/5 spread 2/10 5/10 2/5/10 2/5/10/30 10/30 5/30 just about anything you want.... curto would know bout the options on those, he's there on the cbot floor... but for the most active, at least in the cash...

don't know, the firm pays for it... I think an equivalent for "home" use is Equis (by reuters).... it runs like $99 bux for FX only, and I think $100-150 for equities. It's not a "tradestation or qcharts" replacement, however.. just pure data and some charts -c

"Their competitors" We do? Wow, that would be the first time i've heard of it... Sooo.... Could this "source" is a disgruntled worker? Amaitis isn't the best person to get along with.... Is there an axe to grind here? 2) Where's the facts? Give us an example. thx, cbk

howdy- just got reuters 3000 slapped on my desktop, any one know of a useful guide to getting started? Anyone use R3000?
