Impacts of an Investment Banker's Fall

Here are some details of the severe repercussions should AIG fall, take this to reference on the impact of the LEH collapse:

Sept 17 (Reuters) - (The following statement was released by the ratings agency)
Sept 17 - Moody's Investors Service announced today that is has placed its ratings of certain credit derivative transactions listed below (the "Transactions") that have exposure to Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("LBHI") and certain UK Lehman companies, including Lehman Brothers International (Europe) ("LB-UK" and collectively with LBHI, the "LBHI Entities"), on watch for possible downgrade. Additionally, certain other Transactions were downgraded and left under review for further possible downgrade. Moody's explained that its rating action is based upon LBHI seeking protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and LB-UK being placed into administration, a procedure governed by the Insolvency Act of 1986, on September 15, 2008.
The exposure of the Transactions to LBHI Entities arises from various roles performed by them in the Transactions, including (without limitation):
-counterparty under interest rate and currency swaps
-counterparty under credit default swaps
-guarantor
-liquidity provider
-repo counterparty
-remarketing agent
-depositor
-collateral manager
-servicer
-sponsor
-cash manager
-calculation agent
-paying agent
-collateral provider
-issuer

Can Banks Be Trusted?

Today's events have indeed been a thrilling experience experience for the international markets. As I am writing this, the China Central Banks has just cut its key interest rate again by 27 basis points to spur growth, Lehman (est. 1844) has filed for Chapter 11 (Bankruptcy) , there are rounds of ECB having an emergency rate cut, UBS sneaking in to declare another $5B of writedowns, AIG seeking help from the Fed with a request of a $40B bridge loan after rejecting an offer by Flower to prevent themselves from joining the slaughterhouse where their CDs are currently gapping outwards, and it seems that the only few pieces of good news are probably that Merril had a merger with BOA, as well as a consortium of global banks have put together a $70B fund to facilitate liduidity and an orderly resolution between Lehman and their counterparties.

Trading Rules In A Nutshell

Hi all, I'm finally done with the setup on my new Forexyard Demo account.  As on our previous posts, trading calls will officially commence from today, and we will review the result of trading on a week to week, month by month, and year by year basis (hope I'm that determined). Let us move in small strides to make this work on a long term. Summarizing some facts before we start on making market calls, here are some rules that I will be following: Stops are pre-determined before any entry of trades Size of trade is determined by the total size of the account, total risk should not be more 1% of the total value of the trading account at any time. My target return per week is to achieve 0.5% gains weekly. Compound it by 56 weeks, you should get our annual target. (Gains are tabulated on a weekly basis only) Term of trades may vary between minutes and even up to weeks. Weekly P&L on the Demo Account no. 77104 will be published at both http://systematic-trading.blogspot.com a...
