Fed Said to Set Deadline for Details on Clearing Swaps Trades : 55.000.000.000.000 (Trillion notional)

By Matthew Leising Oct. 28 (Bloomberg)

The Federal Reserve has given U.S. futures exchanges until Oct. 31 to present written plans on how they'll make the $55 trillion credit swaps market less risky, according to four people familiar with the discussions.

 

Some CME Group members are concerned about mixing the clearing of futures and credit swaps contracts in a single clearinghouse, because their money is used to fund any trading default.

Happy Diwali 4 all

Deepavali, or Diwali, is a major Indian festival, and a significant festival in Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism. Many legends are associated with Diwali. Today it is celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs across the globe as the "Festival of Lights," where the lights or lamps signify victory of good over the evil within every human being . The festival is also celebrated by Buddhists of Nepal, particularly the Newar Buddhists. Hindus tend to treat and celebrate Diwali as Christians treat and celebrate Christmas.

NATAL 2008 - espalhem a ideia

Para o Natal 2008 ( espalhe essa idéia) Que tal fazer algo diferente, este ano, no Natal? Sim ... Natal ... daqui a
pouco ele chega.
Que tal ir a uma agência dos Correios e pegar uma das 17 milhões de cartinhas de crianças pobres e ser o Papai ou Mamãe Noel delas?
Há a informação de que tem pedidos inacreditáveis. Tem criança pedindo um panetone, uma blusa de frio para a avó.
É uma idéia. É só pegar a carta e entregar o presente numa agência do correio até dia 20 de Dezembro. O próprio correio se encarrega de fazer a entrega.

Diwali/Tihar - Kukur Puja: Worship of Dogs

About Tihar : The Nepali festival Tihar is also known by many names such as Dipawali or Bhai Tika or Laxmi Puja or as a festival of lights. It is a five-days festival, which comes soon after the Dashain Festival, and Tihar is all about worshiping of different animals such as crow, dog, cow, and worshiping of the Hindu Goddess of Fortune or Wealth (Goddess Laxmi), and cooking great meals at home, brothers and sisters shopping for gifts, flying kites, decorating homes and streets, playing cards with friends, resting and relaxing, and finally ending the festival with an exchange of a special temporary mark on forehead (tika in Nepali). The last day of the festival is known as Tika day or popularly known as Bhai Tika day (Bhai in Nepali means Brother). To sum up Tihar festival, Tihar is the festival when sisters wish a long life to their brothers (Bhai)!

 

·          Tihar and Dogs (2nd Tihar Day) - On the second day of Tihar, Kukur (Dogs) are adorned with flower garland around their necks, red tika on their forehead, and are offered great meals, they are the king of the day! On this day, people pray to the Kukur to guard their homes. Call someone "Kukur", he/she will bash you instantly! There are lots of Kukur running around in search of a loving home. You can find them on streets and in your backyards, but on this day, even the most unsightly Kukkur will be treated like a king, everyone has a day. Tihar is also about breaking the boundaries only men created, "The Good", "The Bad", "The Ugly", and all but same to the mother nature! In Hinduism it is believed that Kukur guard's the underworld empire just like it guards our everyday homes!. Tihar is about loving Kukurs too!

 

"..........The second day is called 'Kukur tihar', dogs day. A dog plays many roles in our society. We have dogs in our houses as guardian of the house. As the legend also says that there is a dog at yama's gate guarding the gate to the underworld. The dog is also the steed of the fearful Bhairab, the god of destruction. So on this day a big red tika is put on a dog's forehead and a beautiful garland around the neck. After worshipping the dog, it is given very delicious meal. This day the saying 'every dog has his day' comes true; for even a stray dog is looked upon with respect. We pray to the dog to guard our house as he guards the gate of the underworld and to divert destruction away from our homes. On this day you can see dogs running around with garlands on their neck...."

RELAX MOMENT: O mercado de ações e os indios

Durante o Outono, os Indios de uma reserva americana perguntaram ao novo Chefe se o Inverno iria ser muito rigoroso ou se, pelo contrário, poderia ser mais suave. Tratando-se de um Chefe Indio mas   da era moderna, ele não conseguia interpretar os sinais que lhe permitissem prever o tempo, no entanto, para não correr muitos  riscos, foi dizendo que sim senhor, deveriam estar preparados e   cortar a lenha suficiente para aguentar um Inverno frio.

 

Mas como também era um lider prático e preocupado, alguns dias depois teve uma ideia. Dirigiu-se à cabine telefónica pública, ligou para o   Serviço Meteorológico Nacional e perguntou: "O próximo Inverno vai   ser frio?" -"Parece que na realidade este Inverno vai ser mesmo  frio" respondeu o meteorologista de serviço.

 

O Chefe voltou para o seu povo e mandou que cortassem mais lenha. Uma semana mais tarde, voltou a falar para o Serviço Meteorológico: "Vai ser um Inverno muito frio?" "Sim," responderam novamente do outro  lado, "O Inverno vai ser mesmo muito frio".

 

Mais uma vez o Chefe voltou para o seu povo e mandou que apanhassem toda a  lenha que pudessem sem desperdiçar sequer as pequenas cavacas. Duas semanas mais tarde voltou a falar para o Serviço MeteorológicoNacional: "Vocês têm a certeza que este Inverno vai ser mesmo muito  frio?" "Absolutamente" respondeu o homem "Vai ser um dos Invernos  mais frios de sempre."

 

"Como podem ter tanto a certeza?" perguntou o Chefe. O meteorologista respondeu "Os Indios estão a aprovisionar lenha que parecem uns  doidos."

 

É assim que funciona o mercado de ações.
