'''[[Anatomy|Anatomies]]''': Clause-by-clause [[Anatomy]] and [[nutshell]] guides (hit the bar on the left) to [[ISDA Master Agreement|ISDA]] and other [[master trading agreement]]s. These may be incomplete, out of date, out of touch, flippant — well, they ''are'' flippant — but will still be better value and more entertaining than that awful [[FT book about derivatives]]; <br>
}}
'''[[:category:book review|Book reviews]]''' culled from twenty indolent years sounding off on Amazon; <br>
{{jc for georgia}}
'''Much flippancy''' about [[plain English]], [[buzzword]]s, [[technology]], [[negotiation]], [[flannel]], [[Latin]], [[Greeks|Greek]], [[metaphor]] and [[:category:Egg|egg]]s. <br>
|{{top}}
{{isdaprov|Cross Default}} under an ISDA: that fabulously pointless {{isdaprov|Event of Default}}. <br>
{{pbprov|Synthetic prime brokerage}}: What is it? How is it different from natural prime brokerage? Can I iron it? <br>
{{csaprov|Independent Amount}}: What’s that again? <br>
[[Assignment by way of security]]: Is it the same as a [[charge]]? <br>
{{isdaprov|Automatic Early Termination}} {{icds}}’s “clever” end-run for silly insolvency regimes. What’s that all about?<br>
{{isdaprov|Netting of Payments}}: The ISDA clause that shouldn’t be! <br>
{{isdaprov|Set-off}}: Is it the same as [[close-out netting]]?<br>
{{isdaprov|Credit Support Document}}: Is it the same as a [[Credit Support Annex]]? (Spoiler: In America, ''Yes''... in England, ''No.'')<br>
[[ISDA Comparison]] What are the differences bvetween a {{1992ma}} and a {{2002ma}}? Should I care? (Spoiler: ''No''.)<br>
Lastly, {{casenote|Tai Hing Cotton Mill|Liu Chong Hing Bank}}: A great case, fallen on hard times.
|{{top}}
“[[Africa|Does Kilimanjaro rise above the Serengeti]]?” The question every [[Toto]] fan wants answered. (Spoiler: ''No''.)<br>
“Tell me about {{casenote|Fardell|Potts}}”: A. P. Herbert’s famous fictional case of the [[reasonable woman]]. Is there such a thing? (Spoiler: in the eyes of the law, ''No''.)<br>
“Tell me about {{casenote|Miller|Jackson}}: Is [[cricket]] ''capable'' of being a [[nuisance]]? (Spoiler: it’s controversial. But, in the eyes of the law, ''yes''.)<br>
“[[I’m not going to die in a ditch about it]]”: When to use that greatest of all [[negotiation]] climb-downs.<br>
“[[Teldar Paper|teldar paper]]” Greed is, for lack of a better word ...? <br>
“[[Notwithstanding anything to the contrary]]”: But, why did you ''say'' something to the contrary? <br>
“Does [[Africa|Kilimanjaro rise like ''Olympus'' above the Serengeti]]?” More [[Toto]] fan correspondence action. <br>
“[[Olympus|Is Mt. Olympus anywhere near the Serengeti]]?” Okay, Mr Lukather, that’s eenough now. It was funny the first time.
