It sounds like a sales coverage at a primary dealer isn't particularly useful to you. For OTC stuff, keep in mind, a single smallish trade can easily net the broker $200k in commission (well, not commission, more like spread). It's also important to note that dealers tend to regard hedge...

Dude, don't take it personally. If you don't have coverage, it means you don't have account setup and all those details ready either (for start, clearing instructions, financing docs, etc). Obviously, they can't give you entitlement unless you do. Bloomberg offers a trading platform, but it's...

Why in the world would it be tough to answer?

Christ - you said "Assuming there is no link. though there is evidence to suggest there is." I'm beginning to understand now that you mean to say that your family tend to do very well thus there's something in your genes as oppose to there's some study (I read evidence = study) to suggest...

No, I'm not asking for a citation of your family tree. This is the correct quote to which I was referring: "In relation to the surname. Assuming there is no link. though there is evidence to suggest there is. " <- this evidence is what I wanted a citation of. Again, this is seperate from...

Um... because one part was directed at your potential nepotism, the other was your assertion that there are studies that back up how your last name can infer career advantage. The only think that has been outed about me, I think, is that I didn't look at the preview carefully to make sure my...

For the record, I meant to quote this part of your post: "In relation to the surname. Assuming there is no link. though there is evidence to suggest there is. "

That's entirely my fault, I bracketed the wrong part of the quote and didn't notice. If you want to some how argue that a clear mistake (asking for citation pointing to a wikipedia link) as evidence of not knowing any macoeconomics, go for it.

No, apologies, I meant the study that says you having a common last name (or, as you said, your 'genes') gives you some special advantage in the field.

So do the hundreds of thousands of BAs in economics. So do the hundreds of thousands of BSs in Computer science. Neither of them are qualified (nor do they usually pretend to) 'invent' new macroeconomic theories. Great. Are they accepted by peer review journals? Are they presented at...

citation pls? I'd be very interested in reading about this - though, I doubt you'll move pass HR at MS or JPM with this opener. Good for them. You don't. Quit trying to brag about the potential of nepotism. Because you are a charlatan - And it incenses me to no end that you try to pass...

Um... my doorman's last name was also morgan - I don't think having a fairly popular last name opens doors at publically traded banks or confers special insights. Also, you keep assuming that economists are only train in neoclassical methods. That's the decidedly not the case. As a trader...

Are you proposing that there might a future where the UK or the EUR replaces the bank of england or the ECB with your patented calculator? And solves the problems of business cycles and world hunger? Is that really how you think it all works? Perhaps it is in your brave new world where your...

Okay, so as I and others have said above - it wont' work as well as you might think it does because of the delievery optionality in the futures.

Super. I look forward to your success then. Many break thrus in scientific history were made by amateurs who balked the mainstream. Perhaps you'll be one of them (I'm not at all being sarcastic here, obviously). Now, would you care to explain what you mean by "Believe me my surname indicates...

I'll just point out two things (1) All serious economic research/thinking is published in peer reviewed journals; there's no 'commercial' value in macro policy research; Bernanke didn't make millions with his research publications. (2) Holding the opinion that your thoughts are incoherent...

No. I have nothing to prove. This board is an entertaining diversion. As I have said in other threads over the years, I trade liquid rates institutionally. I was trained in economics. Beyond that, I have nothing more I want to share. You saw you are writing a paper on behalf of your...

I am indeed attacking you as a person - I've done so since the very first post I made on this thread, so you can stop pointing it out; I've pointed out to you that it has not been productive to discuss your ideas; So I refuse to do so. I have no interest in addressing your fringe (and...

It's just not productive to debate with you. We've done so in the past. You don't have a the prerequisites to have a technical discussion and are too willfully (and unproductively) stubborn to have a layman's discussion. You are solely concerned with "inventing" your new macro economics without...

No, you are moderator of www.elitetrader.com; In the scheme of world finance and economics, practice and theory, that's all you are.
