An economics, investment, trading and policy blog with a focus on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). We seek the truth, avoid the mainstream and are virulently anti-neoliberalism.
This article sums up exactly my experiences at DE Shaw during the ruble default/LTCM melt down in 1998….
The problem here is that the article doesn't explain who they were selling them *to*. There simply can't be homogeneity or you can't have a market. There would be no buyers. Now if the buyers get one up on the sellers, why is that a problem? If the panic sellers go bust, why is that a problem?None of this secondary market churn affects the primary market. And it really doesn't affect the primary market if there are good investment banks
