Some of them are, but others aren't, IIIRC...

Sweden actually has listed futures... Nasdaq OMX is the exchange.

Nah, it's ok, thanks... Indeed... Interesting stuff!

The Moors and Hannibal with his elephants? Isn't this a bit mixed up?

Your estimation of me is so off, it's kinda funny... You did get one thing right, though: I do live in London. However, since I have actually stated this explicitly in earlier posts, you get no points for that.

Firstly, no need for insults... Secondly, I didn't say whether you want these groups. I was referring to your ancestors. Let me give you a couple of examples of how much they wanted those groups, "because they're the most like us": So they clearly had issues with the Jews, the Irish, the...

Which rate hike? The Fed has clearly been quite well priced. The ECB rate hikes, on the other hand, are all the rage.

You wanna trade them AND you want to be able to short them... I am sorry to be a bearer of bad news, but this is a little bit of a tall order, to put it mildly.

PIK bonds? Good luck with that!

'Twas a dovish hike... Mkt was positioned for a more forceful language. Et voila!

That seagull... Jeez! But apart from the numbers, I actually found the last part of what Matt Levine wrote very thoughtful. Prior to him mentioning it, I haven't considered Ackman's VRX adventure as a particularly painful case of "mandate drift".

I knew Kevin... Apart from being poorly written, this article is disgraceful, disrespectful and beyond reprehensible.

This makes a lot of sense...

Thank you
