   Is Made-offs mother related to Ruth Made-Off, you know, Big B’s wife?

    @4 @9, See “Semiannual DB Guide” from yesterday. And, my, aren’t we a little testy today. If your’re going to take the time CAPS a comment, you might consider reading it first before posting. Just a thought…

    @15- God bless you Clown Cap. I miss my Indian chick. Big nipples the size of a PS2 game controller button and a beautiful dark puss, like a Hershey chocolate bar. Best part, she had the long leg gene and a beautiful chiseled jawline.
    I feel like crying.

    Contango trade is old news. A few major funds have already done the trade on a massive scale (rented and filled tankers got insurance etc.). I’ve heard that ~5% of current global tanker capacity is taken up by arbitrage plays on the contango.

    I do know which firms but I sadly can’t disclose to my db brethren as it will give away my sources. Let’s just say $5 billion+ aum and positive returns last year for most of them (narrows the field huh).
