The Dover Interview

He was going to Europe for an extended period and my lawyer thought it would be a good idea after the whole New York Mag thing.

wat? i hope this doesn't mark the (inevitable?) stage in a web community where the largely male reader demographic begins to fawn over a proposed female identity associated with their own statistically unvaginal interests.

flag as not white knighting.

Ruth, I think she just bats an eyelash, spins a song, and mesmerizes us all with her blinding wit and intelligence, but that's just my take on it. :)

Marla, I give you a 9.5 on the open-ended Richter scale. (Rocking the house and all that...)

For Marla:

Pursuit Partners, LLC v. UBS AG: Implications for Hedge Funds That Invested in Collateralized Debt Obligations and Other Structured Products

On September 8, 2009, the Connecticut Superior Court entered an order requiring two UBS entities to put aside more than $35 million to ensure that a hedge fund claiming fraud in its purchase of notes tied to UBS collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) would be adequately compensated in the event it was successful in its lawsuit against UBS. The case, Pursuit Partners, LLC et al. v. UBS AG, et al., is notable for a number of reasons. Chief among these is the rarity of lawsuits filed by purchasers of CDOs notwithstanding the anecdotal evidence indicating that most CDOs have suffered massive declines in value. The lack of lawsuit filings by CDO purchasers has continued to puzzle industry experts who confidently predicted that the subprime mortgage crisis would result in an explosion of litigation by purchasers of securities and derivatives tied to subprime mortgages including CDOs. There is no obvious explanation for why this expected litigation explosion did not occur beyond the general distaste that non-public institutional investors seem to have for lawsuits in general and the almost universally held assumption within the hedge fund industry that nobody could have anticipated the collapse of the subprime mortgage securities market. The Pursuit case however, renders that assumption highly suspect. As the limitations clock for filing suit continues to tick down for purchasers, hedge funds with significant losses in mortgage-backed securities, especially those headquartered in Connecticut, should examine closely the Pursuit court’s holding in evaluating any decision not to pursue litigation against sellers. In a guest article, Darren Kaplan, a Partner at Chitwood Harley Harnes LLP, analyzes the factual background of the Pursuit case; the court’s legal analysis; and the lessons that hedge fund managers can draw from the case.

Dust off Bible of Option Strategies? C'mon now that's just amateur stuff, maybe John C. Hull or even a bit of Fabozzi. The computers have made almost every strategy in the bible useless. Read Jeff Augen's new book, you think the SPARC's have taken over the equity market, it's worse in options.

you chose the wrong movie as the meme of this website. besides, sheople just don't get the sense of humour here, nor do they understand the articles. but, I guess, the number of clicks is all that matters

Devil's Advocate would have been appropriate.  And while I appreciate the humor I will admit to having to research the articles.

I should have commented on this post. Hilarious.

But I am still one of those old young guys who thinks twittering is what you do with a broad when you are done with her.

Then again, what do I know.

Btw, the coverage of the judge's opinion on the MER "penalties" was awesome, thanks ZH for providing the pdfs. That's a judge I would want to clerk for.

Marla -

This one link (if history is any indicator) will chronicle for you when the market tanks next.

http://seekingalpha.com/article/144200-alt-a-mortgages-the-new-subprime-meltdown

...I'll make it two (for those who have trouble with overlayed charts)

http://www.businessinsider.com/henry-blodget-coming-soon-the-alt-a-mortgage-reset-bomb-2009-8

All this non-sense about monetization and weekly TIC data is just a bunch of hooplah.

Those two links are all you need to set you free.

The DOW will not see 10,300 for the next 20+ years. Ya heard it here first ;)

Okay, but don't you think most of the Alt-As and and Option ARM type people have already mailed in the keys? It seems like the charts may not be that predictive. It's not like the Alt-A people are still sitting around in a vacuum unaware of what we just lived through the past two years. And many of them probably lost their jobs, so that tends to speed things up quite a bit.
