Stephen derivative contract can be very profitable and also inflict substantial losses. Corporation and other financial institution can leverage themselves 1 to 100. If you are on the right side of the transaction profits can be substantial. Some notorious hedge funds (not only LTCM) went under for such transactions. Currency, energy or other commodities have all same leverage Haim

Just cause some dope on CNBC says something doesnt mean you should believe it. I spoke with an NYSE specialist on Friday who handles DYN, he says there was HEAVY institutional buying and the MM were trying to hammer it down in vain. This is a great opportunity to buy value. DYN has an out if things are so bad they have 6 months to unwind and then back out if need be. DYN will be up 30% in short order. IMHO. They absolutly stole ENE that has an 11 dollar Book value if its parts alone were sold of and a 20 dollar enterprise book. If DYN keeps 1-2 of the most profitable segements, took the trading biz and sold off everything else they would get them for free. Not to mention 2.5 billion from shell.
