Blog Post: PsyFiBlog: To Boldly Go: Risk and the Prime Directive

Published / Preprint: On Pricing Basket Credit Default Swaps. (arXiv:1204.4025v1 [q-fin.PR])

The community structure is hierarchical, with the top level of the hierarchy comprising...

Posted: 18 Apr 2012 05:05 PM PDT

Chief Judge Dennis Jacons said that the statutory language refers on the one hand to products that have “already been introduced into [placed in] the stream of commerce” and on the other hand to those that “are still being developed or readied” [produced for] such placement. The words evoke two distinct sets of products with a sequential relationship to one another, which satisfies...
