Mama Bear,
So much depressed. Bumped out of brcm short w/ big loss and too slow to reestablish short...Now it falls like a rock. Luckily or unluckily not buying any nuts today for the nut venture on long. Roger is correct that we need deep pocket or stop loss first and reshort higher. What a crazy market w/ wounded souls?

The majority of US bank held derivatives are interest and foreign currency based in that order and futures/forwards, swaps in that order by type. Equity nbased derivatives and options are 2-3% of the total. The net exposure of the big banks as a group is in billions rather than trillions. ie they are not significantly net buyers or sellers.

I read this stuff in some Fed report but I can't remember the link. Ask Lucretius Taurus for it.
