These may be incomplete, out of date, out of touch, flippant — well, they are flippant — but will still be better value and more entertaining than that awful FT book about derivatives; Book reviews culled from twenty indolent years sounding off on Amazon; Much flippancy about plain English, buzzwords, technology, negotiation, flannel, Latin, Greek, metaphor and eggs.	Cross Default under an ISDA: that fabulously pointless Event of Default. Synthetic prime brokerage: What is it? How is it different from natural prime brokerage? Can I iron it?
