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?

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

The Wind in the Willows

At times my analysis log, at times sharing what I've learned. Always my own work and views.
