    How fanciful is it that they tried to corner the market and Dooley was probably a fall guy for the initial losses in a failed strategy and now we are seeing the end game play out? Let's face it, SOMEONE has been driving up commodity futures.

  3. MAN clear all exchanges, they are also number 1 on Eurex, which is all financials. I used to clear MAN.

  4. "on no apparent news": have you ever traded in your life? News will come later. Price is ahead of news.

    Coz as clearing exchange they have to make good any counterparty but the institution that put the trade on is not good for it i.e. for NYMEX to claim from?

  8. It's ALL about the CLEARING FIRM.
    They are the "guarantor".

    I just had all my money wired out of MF.
