Dude, you start out by talking about whipping stocks around through computer trading, etc... Then you go on to use a statement about corp bonds and CDS, and how the later is driving the pricing of the former (which it is and has been for years) to some how validate your point. Is it stock volatility (the fast money) or the tail wagging the dog (CDS and bonds) you're talking about. Fast money doesn't whip in and out of bonds.
Your children are no more than a reflection in the mirror. I know many wealthy children who are extremely polite, kind, non-douchey. They also wouldn't be caught dead on a reality show. I think that's the common thread here. If you go on a reality show you're pretty much a douche. Springer Syndrome.

"- Finishing it is an important milestone" read as "finishing is an important milestone" Well, yes...yes it is. Every time I would say.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown is what you hear most, not heavy rests the crown. Even that is a misquote from Shakespeare, and not Scorsese. Henry IV, Part 2, Act 3, Scene 1, the king has a soliloquy. It begins, "How many thousand of my poorest subjects / Are at this hour asleep! O sleep, O gentle sleep, . . ." At the end, he declares, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." I know, I know, I'll let it go in the future
wasn't this list hacked by the 4chan folks, who put moot at #1
I don't think Mack is talking about paying CDO Subprime banker's and trader's bonus'. He's talking about keeping people that are bringing in revenue paid. And yeah, for a banker that generates a lot of revenues, there are jobs out there. These are not one product shops. Retards indeed.
does change of ownership (55% to UAW) trigger anything on the debt/ cds/ etc... I know some contracts do get structured that way.
"no math ever" is the new killin' it
All you folks bashing CNBC and "switching to Bloomberg": Why are you getting your news/ recommendations/ insight from the f'ing teevee? Seriously. Do some research, read a little bit. Pretty ladies are nice on a Friday, so yeah, Ivanka's okay with me. I don't expect to be wowed (at least by CNBC's insight). She's also pretty smart, but that's really beside the point.

Inside the Iron Triangle. Good book, lotta conspiracy hatin' goin' on, but good book
On Taleb: Basically he says we should quit listening to the economics establishment. So doesn't that discount his "Ten Principles" to worthless since he is part of the establishment? There is no way he spends any time on the street as a trader or in academia and does not fall prey to their ways of thinking, even if he is contrarian. Can you be against the establishment (contrarian) without falling victim to that same mentality? What I'm really saying is: if you're constantly taking the other side of the establishment trade aren't you just as wrong, and risk losing tons, when they are right?

uh so the highest yield in the term longest term was 6.10% (6% cpn), that's actually the effective yield. 9.38% is the after tax yield (assuming 35% effective rate). I know it's nit-picky, but that's how the world looks at it. Cal isn't going to default.
There is active interest every day on NY CDS as you have more than one player making markets in that and many other names (Cal GO's, NYC's, etc..). Blah
