Bear? <g> It's volume. Notionals went down just 800 billion, and look at all the volatility we had. De-leveraging. We never had something like this happen before - notionals kept growing, so it's anybody's guess what happens when they start coming down. Will it be like housing, and price will follow volume? Hmm... We know about part of derivatives market, the CDS and all this credit stuff. They went to money heaven. -g- If bear was JPM's counterparty (a good guess), some OTC notionals definitely went away in the "takeover" -g-
