JDV- Selling Protection

In the past you have offered to sell protection for test takers. Is the window open this year?

mwvt9 I will sell you a swaption on our marks…

Price it out. I might take it.

Note to JDV. I am not kidding…really interested in your numbers.

Later in the week…

I’ll be waiting…

Sell protection? What the hell is this about?

I’d like to hear as well…

i Don’t.

That’s ridiculous

Why? It is a hedge. How many hedges have we learned about at level II? I am not saying I am going to do it. I would like to see what his implied odds are for me. He is pretty good at pricing this stuff.

What’s last year’s thread about this?

What do you mean?

it’s a hedge for you . you are the hedger and Joey is the speculator…I’m betting on backwardation

“He is pretty good at pricing this stuff.” Where can I see his past prices, say for last year’s L2 takers. Is there a thread on the forum for it?

mcpass you must understand this is very adapted pricing…

I don’t think there was a specific thread. Every once in awhile he would just into a thread and say I’ll give you 3:1 or whatever.
