'''[[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bar on the left) to [[ISDA Master Agreement|ISDA]] and other [[master trading agreement]]s. These may be incomplete, out of date, out of touch, flippant — well, they ''are'' flippant — but will still be better value and more entertaining than that awful [[FT book about derivatives]]; 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>
{{cat|Essays}}
'''[[:category:book review|Book reviews]]''' culled from twenty indolent years sounding off on Amazon; <br>
{{cat|Reviews}}
'''Much flippancy''' about [[plain English]], [[buzzword]]s, [[technology]], [[negotiation]], [[flannel]], [[Latin]], [[Greeks|Greek]], [[metaphor]] and [[:category:Egg|egg]]s. <br>

'''{{pbprov|Synthetic prime brokerage}}:''' What even ''is'' it? How is it different from ''natural'' [[prime brokerage]]? Can you iron it? <br>
'''[[Assignment by way of security]]''': Is it the same as a [[charge]]? <br>
{{cat|Boilerplate}}
'''{{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>

“'''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>
