Well they say the proof is in the pudding. I think that my case for algo based systems decreasing long term volume is correct. Year on year change in fixed income futures volume is: Bobl - down 10.01%. Bund - down 10.35%. Shatz - down 6.97%. 2007 as a whole compared to 2006 will be...

i completely disagree. you reward failure and a low share price with $4 million dollars. get real. and there will be more options awarded in the next few days as well. the option program is running.

This guy is unbeleivable. His last share sale was back in the first week of August just as the subprime meltdown and credit crunch hit the market. He last sold around $28. Now has has come back into the market and sold two lots. First lot was on the 08/10/07 - $ 2,818,368.00 worth of...

said it on the night and ill say it again. the fed made a major policy mistake the other week. they should have just cut the discount rate. the fed are a bunch of pussies. at least trichet and king stood their ground. i dont know about the bernanke put. more like the the...

aha i spy a yellow swan with pink spots. thats only suppose to happen once in a billion years. i think this sums up quant funds pretty well. Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we...

what i dont understand is this. these guys who run these quant based funds and systems are clearly intelligent and the guys who program it all in and look after the systems are intelligent as well. so when we keep getting these rare events every 12 months that wipe a load of them out dont...

Well its not been a bad summer all in all. What was looking like a crap year suddenly turned around and I was on track for a good year. The second week of August this year came about with a complete change in fixed income for those of us who trade eurex and liffe. The markets booted...

Only the dickheads at Countrywide could come up with the cheesiet idea in the world. This has only reinforced my view to keep short the shares. For Countrywide Financial Corp., this time it's personal. At least that's what a top executive says. Having suffered a barrage of negative...

this is great. talk about the old boys network. he has to speak to 30 different people in the markets including rubin and all the other cronies to find out what the fuck is going on in the market. what are they doing at the fed. do they not look at the prices on the screen for gods...
