this also goes for the currently topical question of "why is Safran running fifty yards notional of EUR exotics instead of building landing gears, didn't we all learn this lesson from Citic Pacific back in '08"

the only way it could be more of a josh siren is if Bankers Trust somehow came back from the dead to print these trades
