City Group
Posting : Rich Blake : 04/04/2008

We are now rolling out our new issue featuring our annual Trader Monthly 100 chronicling the sickest cash hauls of 2007. While you’d think I’d be totally stoked having worked on this project practically nonstop since the end of December, in actuality, though the April/May issue is only now about to drop, I’m full steam ahead on the next one. This next issue (June/July) will for the second time chronicle the 50 Best Trading Cities in the World. Our first installment did not exactly take the world by storm though I did notice Citadel’s website links to the piece. I want this next Top Cities package to be all it can be, hence this column informing readers what I’m cooking up.

Happy B-Day!

“But It Doesn’t Matter Who Wins”
Article : Morning Call: August 29
Jim Rogers is quite possibly more populist than Barack Obama. It’s easy to say that neither candidate will do much to change America when you’re worth billions and have fled to China. Jim, what’s your solution? Tell us, please. You don’t fix the problem by moving overseas.

Hopefest Day One Ends With a Bang
Article : August 2008
The Democratic National Convention is to conclude with a resounding speech by Barack Obama this Thursday. The festivities warmed up on Monday though, with speeches by his wife Michelle and party stalwart Ted Kennedy, who despite illness insists he will be there in January for Obama’s would-be inauguration. Judging how Kennedy has a habit of cheating death, we should not put it past him.

Head Butler -- Books: The Perfect Summer

In our secret hearts, many of us imagine that we belong elsewhere -- say, in England, at a great country estate, in good weather, where we enjoy every luxury because we are rich and titled.

To Russia (Without Love)
Article : August 2008
Maybe Mother Russia is still gloating over the Georgia affair, but its show of military might was not so tactical for its economy, where the smart money is leaving in droves (read: at a rate rivaling the 1998 ruble crisis). Is this only the beginning, or is the worst mostly over? (Note: don’t miss the “million-headed hydra of the bourgeoisie” quote in the story after the jump. So necessary.)

World’s Biggest Derivatives Exchange Is Born
Article : August 2008
With the approval of the Nymex-CME merger, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange has now realized its dream of becoming the most sprawling derivatives market...ever! This transaction not only gives it control of the dominant venue for global oil- and metals-futures trading, but also adds emissions trading, freight derivatives and even a laggard Middle East exchange. Oh, and did we mention that this deal puts it in charge of clearing roughly 98% of U.S. exchange-listed futures? Yeah, that too. Plus, by the look of it, this is only the first stage in its plan for eventual world takeover.

This Week in Wall Street History August 17 - 23

Whether having committed an iconic prank of disgusting defiance or hilarity, instigators "George Metesky and friends" better known as Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Stew Alpert and other members of the Youth International Party (Yippies) swarmed the NYSE visitors gallery on August 24, 1967 and tossed dozens of dollar bills over the railing onto the trading floor below.

Financials vs. Oil - Part II
Posting : Larry Levin : 08/14/2008

Yesterday's non-Olympic pugilists went toe to toe again for the right to make Mr. Market do the winners bidding. Unlike yesterday, however, both financials and oil ganged up on Mr. Market and beat him down. But Mr. Market had other ideas; he decided to ignore them both and staged a powerful but fleeting rally.

Yesterday's title bout was not between two Olympic pugilists, but between the financial and oil sectors; the victor would make Mr. Market do its bidding.

Hunter To Hunted To Hunter, Again
Article : August 2008
Add to the list of the top commodities czars (and at least one czarina) a guy you never thought you’d hear good news from again: Brian Hunter, the guy universally blamed by the quote-unquote powers that be for the felling of Amaranth, seems to have scored himself the kind of big win that helped him make his name before his fall from grace.

Quoth Of Noth: Ex-Enforcement Lawyer
Article : August 2008
"On CSI Wall Street, the options are the DNA," says Brent Baker, former lawyer with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s enforcement division, to Bloomberg News (referring, obviously, to the television series, "Crime Scene Investigation”). And yet you know that combing through this so-called DNA behind the felling of Bear Stearns is going to be no small cakewalk. Inside the debacle – and what will have to happen before anyone can get to the bottom of how the bank met its maker (or, suffice to say, its taker).

UBS: A Little Experiment?

The Banana Peel
Posting : Larry Levin : 08/08/2008

There was a lot of new information that had to be ignored today, and the market almost got away with it as it tried to rally for the first 5-hours after a gap lower open. But in the end the avalanche of bad news proved too much to ignore. Like a cartoon character walking past a banana peel, it slipped as it stepped on it causing the character and market to come crashing down. Of course, hope springs eternal so it may all vanish by the open.

A Coffey Doesn’t Come Along Every Day, You Know
Article : August 2008
Sometimes, a hotshot trader is so great, you just can’t replace him with another hotshot trader. Such is the case with Greg Coffey, outgoing superstar of hedge fund GLG, which searched far and wide for a successor. The verdict? One Coffey, apparently, equals two senior traders from Morgan Stanley (as it so happens, global co-heads of its emerging markets desk). With any luck, the twosome will waste no time in pulling the flagship fund from the throes of its worst-performing month ever, which it just reported.

UBS: Call That Says It All?
Article : August 2008
According to a tattler today, on May 19, shortly after 52 UBS employees had just left to join Goldman-backed wealth manager Vestra, Richard Wayne-Wynne, an investment director, telephoned a client, identified as “George,” to inform him of the mass resignations. What transpired during that call was more than a little revealing.

Xstrata’s Ambush
Article : August 2008
If events-driven trading is your bag, you could get a lot of play out of the drama now unfolding between this Swiss mining giant and the platinum producer it’s going after (with a cool $9.8 billion in tow, no less). And you were just telling your entourage last night how the commodities craze was so last month...touché to you. Too bad for the latter, it’s a surprise attack. But sometimes, that is exactly how we like it.

Top Hedgie Losers Of 2008

You asked for it and the results are in. Definitive proof that lady luck favors the bold, but can also be as fickle as an old hen.

Merrill: Come Visit Us In The ‘Vomitorium’?
Article : August 2008
It may be a long while before big media outlets stop leveling the big guns at Wall Street. As a case in point, this blistering story out from Bloomberg today about how Merrill handled its role in the auction-rate securities market in the lead-up to its collapse – helped, unfortunately, by a rash of what we could only call extremely unwise e-mails. Frances Constable (the managing director of Merrill’s auction-rate desk who penned the soon-to-be-famous “vomitorium” e-mail) this one’s for you.

Optimism
Posting : Larry Levin : 07/31/2008

Investors have their faith in equities back. With little new news of importance, equities exploded today adding 186.13 to the Dow and 21.06 to the S&P500. Investor faith is a fickle thing these days; how long will it last? The last 2-days this week should be a good barometer with the GDP and monthly jobs data scheduled for release.

Insider Trading Scandals Rock London
Article : July 2008
Always cool: being an insider. Never cool: insider trading. The list of those acting, well, not very cool in Old Blighty is growing apace, with the U.K.’s Financial Services Authority taking swings at a Swiss bank (three guesses and the first two don’t count which one that is) and one of London’s oldest trading firms, which, incidentally, it already targeted less than a week ago. As office premises are duly raided and nearly a dozen traders are arrested, here are a few more reasons why it’s important to consider that just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not after you.

Short-Selling Rules Extended
Article : July 2008
Big surprise, but at least the Securities and Exchange Commission tipped its hand against adding another ten thousand or so stocks to the list of the 19 already restricted (though we wouldn’t be terribly stunned if we eventually saw the day when it’s the other way around, with stocks you can short-sell sans all the highfalutin red tape being the exception). There is, however, a great big silver lining to this. And, of course, a pat, little chest-thumping quote about a job-well-done-or-other from our pal Christopher Cox.

KKR IPO: Coup Or Anticlimax?
Article : July 2008
It’s official: Cousins Henry Kravis and George Roberts plan to convert their gargantuan leveraged-buyout firm, KKR & Co., into a publicly traded company by the end of the year so they can more easily expand their fixed-income and capital markets units. How? By way of a fancy-schmancy transaction involving 1) an Amsterdam-based fund 2) a listing on the New York Stock Exchange and 3) no new capital raised. Given that last element, why bother at all? Well…it’s complicated.

Washed-Update: Kerviel
Article : July 2008
It's the high-stakes bank-versus-trader showdown that just won't die. Particularly because the head lawyer for so-called "rogue trader" Jerome Kerviel is spearheading yet another coruscating legal strategy to prove his client's innocence. His latest plan? Attack the former employer of Kerviel, Societe Generale, with all his might. Specifically, its internal controls on trading, for which the bank has been duly fined but remain, he says, "set in stone." Could such a strategy end up backfiring, though?
