More Observations On The Supplemental Liquidity Provider Program

Tue, 05 May 2009 16:06:38 GMT

Previously Zero Hedge observed the rather curious integration of Goldman Sachs within the fabric of the NYSE's program trading environment, which, by their own admission, has everything to do with Goldman being the (monopoly) actor in the NYSE's Supplemental Liquidity Provider program. I highlighted that the program was set to expire on April 30. Today, unsurprisingly, the NYSE posted a notice of a proposed rule change extending the SLP program another six months, until[More...]

Sun, 01 Feb 2009 18:27:00 GMT

If you are an avid short seller, the financial sector is of particular interest. I did some research on short interest levels for various financial-related industries and, as a whole, the sector's short interest level was down 3% (as of Jan 15th).

Next came asset management with a +4% increase. Life insurance saw a 0% increase, and all other sub-sectors saw a decrease in short interest[More...]

Trading the Exchanges: Buying CME Group

Sat, 27 Dec 2008 16:27:00 GMT

CME Group (CME) has lost more than half of its market value over the past three months and the stock price has cratered by nearly three-quarters in the past year. As illustrated in the accompanying three-month chart and table of valuation parameters (click to enlarge) for the major U.S.-listed exchanges, CME is extremely oversold and trades at less than two-thirds of book value (0.66) despite its position as the world's largest futures exchange with a major new source of revenue in the form of central[More...]

The Florida Times-Union, Jacksonville, Mark Basch Column

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:51:00 GMT

Nov. 2--Winn-Dixie Stores Inc.'s stock (NASDAQ: WINN) fell to a six-month low last week after it reported a net loss for the first quarter ended Sept. 16.
It wasn't so much the quarterly results that made investors nervous.
"We can't exactly explain from this quarter's results why a turnaround that had so much momentum has moderated, but that's exactly why a more neutral stance is warranted," Feeney said in his research note.
