hi vince ,
i have sent a mail to andreas with a full list of all the assumed units
within our model . he has sent some historical
data for cocoa beans and noticed that they were being quoted in gbp / mt so
even currency units seem to be important .
thank you for pointing this out ,

hi kirstee ,
thanks again for all your work on mg . one think to double check is units .
please , make sure that the prices are quoted in the same units our positions
come in .
one potential source of confusion arises from the fact that we are dealing
with different
cultures ( metric system vs . english measures ) .

hi vince ,
i was waiting for a comment about the email below before sending it to the
full mailing list . basically it suggests that the
copper option position may well have increased the var by more than $ 500 , 000 .
however , given that the portfoilo has also
changed from the lst of august it is difficult to asses the actual change due
to the option only .
regards
kirstee

hi all ,
the cu option position has entered the mg books for the 2 nd aug . the delta is
35299 $ / mt for dec 2000 . the cu var has gone up
from $ 2 , 245 , 000 to $ 3 , 306 , 000 . i estimated that the portfolio for the lst
would increase to approx $ 3 , 039 , 000 so this seems sensible .
the overall var change is from $ 4 , 780 , 796 to $ 5 , 991 , 569 . again , the estimate
for the lst aug was for an increase in var to ~ $ 5 , 476 , 000 .
all estimates were based on a delta of 32 , 0004 / dmt .
there has also been some increase in the var for aluminium which will effect
the overall total .
a summary is as follows :
regards ,
kirstee
