• BasherBusters -- What is the Plunge Protection Team: 'There are just four people who control all of the U.S. markets through their use of dangerous and explosive DERIVATIVES. These gambling interventions by the "Four Financial Dictators" ; have successfully brought the markets back each time... despite the inflated financial realities that existed. The purchase of these gambling DERIVATIVES at a great loss have transformed each market crisis into a rally. By manipulating the markets in this way, they have further inflated the highly overvalued market indexes. Perhaps Americans can now understand why the major U.S. banks, such as JP Morgan, are holding TRILLIONS of gambling derivatives on their books as the PPT group of four use them to rig the markets. Sooner or later, these market "fixes&qu ot; will no longer hold the bubble from bursting. Thus, we have witnessed the creation and growth of the financial bubble that is on the brink of explosion... and we know who rigs and controls the markets to create this inflated bubble of gambling debt.'

• Original thinking in a derivatives market [printer-frien dly] ? The Register: So there is a really interesting and lucrative optimisation problem here in balancing risk and reward, so complex that some outfits use genetic algorithms to crack it. Although efficient, the problem is that the answer "just works", without anyone understanding the underlying problem. And of course this means that when it goes wrong, no-one really knows why. There are firms selling data on the frequency with which a given type of debt has defaulted, and a bit of regression will give a decent approximation to losses in a given time. We know that interest rates and defaults correlate, but of course we don't know how rates will move. So take a rubber band with a weight on one end. Prod it, and the result will look at bit like the way interest rates move over time.
