tradition is big, yes, but after whats just happened w refco isn't there an opportunity to gril these firms and get them to disclose much more than they currently do in terms of capitalistic relationships etc? e.g. if i were the credit officer for a big hedgie i'm sure tradition/fxdd wld make a lot of stuff (B/S items, incorp. docs etc) available for me to perform a proper credit check if they want the biz... isn't some of this info posted somewhere on the web? credit agency website? anyone?
