[edit] Box trade example

I was wondering if recent fuss about $4 billion dollar in puts, so called "bin Laden trades", are worth of mentioning here since it looks like these trades are part of a box-trade[1]. SalvNaut 22:17, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

ok, but please don't call them bin laden trades and make sure the distinction is made that these were done as a source of funding, not as catastrophe insurance. The explanation from Dan Perper at Peak6 is the correct one. Ronnotel 00:13, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
