And here I though you were going to say "the same shiny hijab"...

I am quite confused, but let me just say that you're guessing wrong, certainly about me...

This is actually funny! A bit grammatically challenged, but good stuff nonetheless...

Well, it would appear, based on the available statistics, that the incidence of child abuse atrocities such as you describe is higher in the US than in the UK (let me know if you need references). If we Brits are brilliant and enlightened folks, you Americans got us beat hand down. Still glad...

Huh? It may not be obvious from my previous post (really?), but I actually live in London. This would suggest that whatever reality I am experiencing, it's just a tiny wee bit more authentic than the impressions you get from your news sources.

Oh yeah, our Mayoral election was totally all about the Moose-lambs vs them Jooos... Nothing whatsoever to do with the quality of the candidates or their programs or anything of the sort. I am not sure some of you American ignerts should be allowed in the UK, have to draw the line somewhere...

Got it, tx...

Since you're an employer, nwm, might I ask you and, maybe, others (@Sig, possibly) about the 'regulatory environment'? There are some contradictory things that I am hearing from surveys, as well as various pieces of research? Asuming that your business is not finance-related, do you feel that...

That was fake jobs growth...

No, edge is for sissies. Real men don't need no stinkin' edge to punt bonds!

Right, so since I last looked, they must have really really dropped the ball (willingly or not is immaterial). Makes sense, thanks...

So I am possibly well behind on the news front, so forgive me for being ignorant. However, if memory serves, there was a time when Timber Hill was bigger than Citadel and was #1 in terms of mkt share. So at some point in the past they used to be able to compete with, and even do better than...

They're talking about Timber Hill? That's a pretty big deal, no?

Yeah, sure... I certainly wasn't referring to high-freq stuff, but rather to your traditional, household name CTAs. Moreover, capacity of really high Sharpe stuff is normally constrained by other factors, e.g. availability of leverage.

Yes, "Boys Will be Boys" is a classic... There are quite a few other papers on the subject.

In my experience, if you confine your product universe to very liquid instruments, it's virtually impossible to achieve a Sharpe of anywhere near 3. Most reasonable sized-CTAs have Sharpes of arnd 1, at best. It sounds like these guys are full of it.

Tepper is one of the very few really good "macro tourists", IMHO...

Whether it can or not, remains to be seen... But, generally, it's true that there's a lot of appetite for this stuff now. That's the reason why now.

Here is my Z$2c... Firstly, I don't like generalizations in this particular area. I don't think the last 100 years are necessarily a good guide to the current/upcoming 100 years, especially where bonds are concerned. Secondly, I also think that the one of the most important determinants of...

Woof woof :)
