actio-et-reactio: for every action there is a reaction. In the background is a sketch by Leonardo da Vinci-teeter-totter- a symbol of how tenuous is the balance between extremes

actio-et-reactio

Balance is but a brief transition between extremes.

New Options Add Touch of Vegas to U.S. Indicators

Options on Economic Reports Starting in October, investment houses Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank will manage a new market for options on U.S. economic data releases such as nonfarm payrolls, retail sales and manufacturing. The options allow hedge funds and institutions to bet specifically on the outcome of the data. At the start, only professional traders will have access to the market, but eventually, individual investors will also be allowed to trade economic derivatives.

What do you suppose are the odds of insider/leaks in this market?

moon phases
 

At last, over the rim
of the waiting earth
the moon lifted with
slow majesty
till it swung clear of the horizon and rode off,
free of moorings
- Kenneth Grahame,
The Wind in the Willows
