Actually, index ones do and can be traced (I don't recall the exact BBG function). Single names are bilateral, but you can get indicative runs and...
Like with everything in finance (from repo to HFT), there is no conspiracy or magic, but rather a very complex, detailed process. To have a...
I think you misunderstood me, I was not asking for a trade. It was a general question about the market sentiment from the perspective of an...
Let's put hysteria and @dozu888 aside for a moment. A completely serious question - if you had cash on the sidelines right now, would you buy this...

Huh, what? You buy a straddle and hold across the NFP day. If the market moves more than what you paid, you make money. If the market moves less...
My guess would be about 35-60, at least given what I know about the flow he gets. I (and many others) wish I can get some of it, but the layoff...
