Ben from the previous thread.

It's pretty obvious that ol' Aubrey mclendon fancies himself a trader....that's for sure.

If he's still at CHK in the next months, I'll be really shocked.

Yeah...he's a maverick....friggin' moron.

Matthew said...

Lol, CHK. I logged into my Bloomberg terminal this morning and the CHK story was the first thing that I saw. I picked my jaw back up from the floor and heard one of my co-workers saying something like, "That guy should be in jail." (It turns out he's long CHK).

Even though this sort of corruption happens enough that I should be totally desensitized to it, I still can be astonished by how brazen some of these alpha-dogs in high finance can be.

Andy:

I saw your note about liking the upstream ops of COP. I also like the business, even though a lot of people on the Street HATE it. I will be looking for an entry point over the next several months. Maybe I'll get lucky and we'll have a nice pullback.

I'm willing to ride some vol on that name.

...At The Milken Institute conference yesterday, Hugh Hendry delivered his usual eloquent and critical insights on the state of Europe. Beginning with the statement that "All of Europe has defaulted", the canny-wee-fella (translation: shrewd and cautious young chap) explained that "The political economy in Europe is such that the politicians chose to default on their spending obligations to their citizens in order to honor the pact with their financial creditors and so as time goes on, the politicians are being rejected." Between France's election of Mr. Hollande and Luxembourg's 'when times get tough you have to lie' Juncker, Hendry says the only inspiration for Europe is fiction as "you just can't make up how bad it is" as he goes on to discuss the precedent for a way forward, the grotesque distortions of fixed exchange rate regimes, why Weimar happened, why the transfer union will never happen, Ayn Rand's reality, and fear politicians are feeling.

The entire discussion is well worth watching for a sense of the underlying reality in Europe.

The underlying reality that what the European monetary union is about is not about preventing a third so-called European civil war, it is essentially about making someone (France, Germany or both) a Great Power, a European Hegemon, and a global player.

Starting at around 12:00, Hugh begins his must-watch discussion...

And begins again at around 30:00, Hendry discusses the British perspective on the impeccable logic of the German mind and why the transfer union will never happen in Europe...and why Wiemar happened...

Talk about messing with the markets head. ISM Mfg Employment gain while ISM NonMfg Employment falls. Add in an ADP that's WTE and there's total confusion over what to expect for NFP.

terrell suggs out for the season...playing basketball. jackass.

give cv a drink.

b22 said...

isn't that a shame, probably the guy that hated Tim Tebow the most. ooops.

guess he can now bitch about him from his couch eh?

Didn't Flacco get busted by a neighbor that saw him skateboarding last year as well? I guess Harbaugh was busy with other, like clearing up statements on Twitter, instead of warning his players what sport they got paid to play

of course, CV might come around with some totally unbiased commentary on the Ravens for the benefit of us all.....you know, to clear this up
