    They ARE Ferengi!................

    Looking only at 86 banks with assets < $10 billion at December 31, 2008 there are notional derivatives exposures of $201 trillion, on top another $5.570 trillion in commitments to lend, $1.991 trillion in securitized assets, and $0.950 trillion in standby letters of credit and foreign office guarantees, a total exposure of $219.418 trillion, or a leverage ratio of more than 241:1 on large-bank capital of $909 billion. Not all bad... that is perhaps one third the gggggggggglobal picture.

    The only, one and only, true problem that exists with data in post 1 is.........................

    That data is not freely available to any and all that have even a modicum of interest in financial doings. They are not bad numbers, they are trade, open markets will adjust to market data and take ADVANTAGE, provided an eye is kept on what occurs and a over sight maintained at arms length with a pair of nut crackers in reserve - business will simply trade through the positions, profitably -

    if short trading is nailed to a wall and accounting reflects contract duration.
    Mark to market risk assessments are suicide.

    Idle thought, hopeless stuff really. It would just be wonderful if.................. this G20 went on quietly with out every moron bleeding heart and politico headcase on the planet deciding to party it on down. Then maybe, maybe just, the population here, ordinary 'hey, we just get on with things' people might just get a message across to these clowns that they really are clowns and it has all gone on a li'l bit to long and they are supposed to be looking after us, not their own sorry, silver spooned tongues. A simple half hour of silence...... one lunch time. Let the buggers know! Sweet dreams, eh!

    Tesla electric car a go-ahead, if someone else pays for it - We should build this in UK, now. Dust off the memory banks of DeLorean, get it right, take a half share, bang up production facilities and start knocking them out, by the 100,000's. Quantive speeding i calls it. Invest, invest and damned.............

    When I was working full time I could see the value of buying one.
    But as the world is rapidly running out of places to work at, unless you can get a job counting taxpayers bailout money, they've missed tha boat as they say in sunny down town Washington.

    ______________
    Modern option pricing techniques are often considered among the most mathematically complex of all applied areas of finance. Financial analysts have reached the point where they are able to calculate, with alarming accuracy, the value of a stock option. Most of the models and techniques employeed by today's analysts are rooted in a model developed by Fischer Black and Myron Scholes in 1973. This paper examines the evolution of option pricing models leading up to and beyond Black and Scholes' model.

    The normality assumption of the Black–Scholes model does not capture extreme movements such as stock market crashes.

    MARK TO MARKET' DEVALUES TOMORROW AND STEALS THE FUTURE.
    IT IS TOO SIMPLE AN ENTERPRISE FOR PROFITEERS TO IGNORE!
    IT IS DEVALUATION OF ENTERPRISE, A ROBBERY THAT IS DENIED TO THE DEATH.
    TAKE, TAKE, TAKE until nothing is left. Time for the grown ups to get serious with the lunatics.
    It is an enduring battle of interests!

    Here's an article on Hedge Fund losses as they attempted to profit from market business.
    Volkswagen shares halve

    But. Why should anyone care, even bat an eye lid. The funds trading produces nothing but paper profit and is predatory, VW produces real wealth, was defended and survived. The issue is a no brainer.

    The Hedge Funds were asset stripping. That is not ok. OK.

    France is threatening G20 walkout France will walk away from this week's G20 summit if its demands for stricter financial regulation are not met, the finance minister has told the BBC. Christine Lagarde told Hardtalk that President Nicolas Sarkozy would not sign any agreement if he felt "the deliverables are not there". Strengthening financial regulation will be one of the key issues at the G20. France wants a stronger global financial regulator than the US and the UK would like.

    It will never be acceptable, for significant and good reason to regulate markets to universal satisfaction. Self Regulation is an effective and workable practise which will mature. It is Prime significance that Government and administrations know and understand the transfer and distribution of funds. That concept cannot be dismissed. Individuals or Business avoiding tax or disclosure should be presumed in 'guilt'. For what other reason is there to avoid disclosure, other than breaking laws. A generous or even neutral tax stance is worthwhile in order simply to measure and understand what is occuring. Those with nothing to hide have nothing to fear... how often is that argument trotted out. It's quite true though.
    All Financial trading data, All, private and public - religiously declared at day 1 in total disclosure to a single entity that records and monitors trade. Encompassing 'duty' to declare all dealings. A real time, global trade, DATA exchange. Failure to comply = the monopoly game default.

    Stop idolising and being intimidated by Traders. The 'con' is what they do. For huge reward!
    They manipulate. It is first nature.
    Real time, global trade, DATA exchange. CLICK
