Guys,

The May contract is rolling over to June & the current difference b/w the two is 1.5. Do you know what this means when we wake up in the morning? :p

Ed, I have access to a Bloomberg terminal. If you'd like, I can run the correlations and then e-mail you the screen files.

a lawsuit over greek debt level and their implication nobody wants it
they acted on behalf of far bigger institutions than they are. its going to be the same effect of silver jpm whistleblower.

A lawsuit over the fudging of the true level of Greek debt would indeed be interesting, and wouldn't shock me. Here is another article regarding how European banks were hurt by Goldman and the possible ramifications of the latest developments:

Guys,

It'd be SO cool if another lawsuit followed, charging Goldman for its role in the Greek crisis! Now that'll be a double (dip) whammy...

I guess this is the best sub-category into which to post this Goldman story, could add some more heat to their situation:

"Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. may have grounds to sue Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Barclays Plc after they obtained assets from CME Group Inc. for less than half their value, bankruptcy examiner Anton Valukas said..."


The examiner concludes that an argument can be made that the transfers at issue were fraudulent, Mr. Valukas said in the report. Under bankruptcy law, the auction may be able to be undone, he said."

Ashraf,

I raised this issue earlier last week as well...and now it's 'swelled' enough for me to ignore.

The price differential b/w crude's May, June & July contracts...

May: 83.24
June: 84.67
July: 86.22

...is unusually wider, don't you think so. A classico contango! Say that we approach the month end ~ the same situation...umm, this points to higher oil prices doesn't it?

What's your take on this? Thanks...
