<<Derivatives netting

The bill contains provisions designed to simplify the treatment of complex financial derivatives contracts in the event of the bankruptcy of a major financial company.

Among others things, it would permit the ``netting'' -- or offsetting -- of all derivatives deals between the bankrupt firm and its trading partners to try to avoid having them tied up in court, risking a delay that could spread the firm's problems through the entire financial system.>>

Poor Abbey, poor Abbey,
Well I never thought,
That you and this market,
Would ever get bought.

You were sitting in the hot seat,
Just a shooting the breeze,
With yur hair up in curlers,
And the spoos on their knees.


(Apologies to John Prine.)

heinz, we are fast approaching an SPX level where Abbey will need a 50% run to make her target. What a sad footnote she is.
