The fact that they missed Maddof in such an embarrassing way and are now so universally perceived as 'do-nothing' is exactly why they would go tilting at windmills to put on a show of having reformed. To be frank, I'm just as jealous of GS as the next guy, but case just filed looks weak at...

What complete nonsense. God, I need to stop wasting my time on this board ... 1. Paulson didn't pay "Goldman $15M to create this new asset class ..." a. Paulson bought part of one side of a two-sided transaction. Paulson paid a commission. It didn't explicitly pay for creation of the...

I think a lot of ignorance swirls throughout this whole discussion. I cannot address all of the nonsense, but I'll just make a two points to clear the air a bit. First, GS and ACA were constructing what was to be an illiquid CDO. In order to go through the trouble, GS needed to have some...

Surprised there has been little talk/consideration that perhaps the DPRK laid one or more mines that caught the South Korean ship: "The DPRK has a credible mine warfare capability. There are numerous small surface ships that are capable of delivering mines within both the navy and civilian...

I don't currently have access to a BB and hoping someone here who does could take a moment to pull some information for me? I'm in a job search and need the occasional contact info, and perhaps some relevant leads from the jobs board. When things pan out, I'm happy to buy you a book on...

You are lookin' in the wrong cupboard pal ...

At one time you were correct. Now I believe the Kospi exchange has gotten a 'no action letter' from the CFTC or some such, so US residents can trade. That said, I'm not a US resident, so not absolutely certain ...

I trade 'em. Liquidity is like silk. Except for very extreme circumstances (last 10 seconds of trading, etc.) front-month spreads are always 1 pip. One month out the spread can widen to 2-3 pips. Kospi options ... ain't no other contract like 'em on the planet.

I'm an American living overseas, long-term IB user looking for an online bank that is suited for helping manage funds in and out of my IB account. These are the attributes I'm looking for: A. Readily accepts free/near-free ACH transfers to/from IB. B. Readily receives/sends international...

At first I was taken in by the quick synopsis of your study, but very soon I saw the holes. You've incorporated a natural scew (sp?) re: strong companies vs. weak companies. Weak companies rarely have the luxury/opportunity to carry large cash balances, whereas strong companies often do. Thus...

Anyone that can answer your question is clueless ... because you are asking the wrong questions.

Check the link below: #1 Nikkei 225 minis on the Osaka Stock Exchange #2 Kospi 200s on the Korean Exchange No other futures on Asian indices rank among the top 50 most liquid contracts in the world. Now if you also consider index options, then Kospi 200 options are far and away the...

Firms can set their own rules. Sign and abide by the compliance form, or hit the highway.

Anyone recommend some free software to convert files to PDF? I downloaded 'PrimoPDF' and at first blush works fine. But when one attempts to e-mail a doc, the doc is received as corrupted. Weird. Thanks in advance.

What a great thread headline. Love it!
