Madharry ,the VaR discussion is an interesting one and the potential abuse on of the reasons why I think that derivatives need to go to an exchange. Assuming there is a real market there, at least the value part of the equation should be straightforward. The other argument in favor of moving as many financial instruments to an exchange is that the clearinghouse functionality prevents a chain reaction of default. it is very telling that the big brokerages (JPM, GS) are working hard to prevent move towards an exchange for those derivatives. Paul couldn't have picked a better time to go on vacation. Markets are calm and moving up 0.5% every day like clockwork - plus it's September <g>.
