I think we should take advantage of the recent rally to trim some positions that either have limited
upside (like our Barclays Pfds and Citi Pfds) or are at risk for further downside if Europe does not ratify
the expanded EFSF.
Recommendation:
- trim our CIT from 10MM to 5MM. Would sell $2.5MM of both the 2016 and the 2017
maturity. We are up on both positions
- collar 'A our MS exposure for 1 month. This would entail buying a 14 put and selling a 17 call.
Cost around 10c/share
- collar 'A out Telefonica position for 1month. 13.50/15 collar. Cashless.
I will call you to discuss.

Hi Jeffrey
We are still doing some more credit work before we close the $5MM Harrah's note.
Since the end of August the account is down around $2.7MM (was flat at the end of Aug).This translates
into -$6.98MM for 2010 and +$4.25MM YTD for 2011.
This has been due to (changes since End of August):
SGD down 5% ($500K)
INR down 5% ($500K
We switched both of these forwards into options so we have limited downside from here on out
CADJPY down 150K [We are long the 83.25 CAD Call and Short the 76.00 Put with a knock in at 71; spot
at 76.50; knock in 7% away)
Oil call down 140K
Corn down 600K
ING Pfds down 200K
MS Note knocked in down 140K
Telefonica note down 300K [Stock is trading below 2009 lows; only 35% of their revenue comes from
Spain; would HOLD]
I would like to reduce further downside.

I think the cheapest protection out there remains buying CDS on Asia. For example Indonesia CDS costs
220bps. It got as wide as 1200bps in 2008. It feels like Asian credit spreads remain one of the few
things that have not moved and could provide some cheaper tail risk if things deteriorate further.
Financial Pfds remain our largest notional exposure (around $20MM). I think we should reduce some
exposure here. Would involve selling some of .IPM, Barclays and Citigroup. BAC and WFC was
downgraded today and would also trim those positions.
Do you have time to discuss?
