A surprisingly large gasoline drawdown

February 26, 2009

Taken from the FT Alhpaville Blog: “A surprisingly large gasoline drawdown…”
Posted by Izabella Kaminska on Feb 25 17:05.

Here’s a shocker: gasoline stocks fell much more than expected last week , with a corresponding smaller than expected build up in crude stocks according to the latest EIA stock data. Nymex crude rallied strongly on the numbers on Wednesday, only to lose ground again. The real standout – an unexpectedly large drawdown in Cushing stocks specifically, down by 400,000 barrels from recent record highs to 34.5m barrels. All of which means gasoline demand looks to be picking up in the US.

The Formula that Killed Wall St.

February 26, 2009

An interesting read on David X. Li. He is the fellow who almost won a Nobel Prize for the creation of a form of quantitative economics that was used in the creation of the CDS/CDO market. Its aptly entitled: The Formula that Killed Wall Street.

 

Taken from Wired Magazine Online…

“A year ago, it was hardly unthinkable that a math wizard like David X. Li might someday earn a Nobel Prize. After all, financial economists-even Wall Street quants-have received the Nobel in economics before, and Li’s work on measuring risk has had more impact, more quickly, than previous Nobel Prize-winning contributions to the field. Today, though, as dazed bankers, politicians, regulators, and investors survey the wreckage of the biggest financial meltdown since the Great Depression, Li is probably thankful he still has a job in finance at all. Not that his achievement should be dismissed. He took a notoriously tough nut-determining correlation, or how seemingly disparate events are related-and cracked it wide open with a simple and elegant mathematical formula, one that would become ubiquitous in finance worldwide.

Then the model fell apart. Cracks started appearing early on, when financial markets began behaving in ways that users of Li’s formula hadn’t expected. The cracks became full-fledged canyons in 2008-when ruptures in the financial system’s foundation swallowed up trillions of dollars and put the survival of the global banking system in serious peril.
