If so, that could be a nice hedge for the Zell-Matthews duel trade. Short Chris, Long Zell, Long Jeff. Creates a synthetic bond with returns of X+1. At least that's what the CFA Level 2.25 curriculum says. Any chance Jeff Matthews is related to Chris Matthews? If so, that could be a nice hedge for the Zell-Matthews duel trade.

He talks about how the Kazak stock exchange might prohibit shorting stock - not knowing that in kazakhstan, shorting stock is economic suicide.

Kazakh Sovereign Bank issues more debt, to get cash to buy stocks. National debt interest cover goes down reinforcing the negative outlook the agencies have taken. Hrm. Perhaps those crazy Kazakhstanians are going to IPO their own country to raise cash? How does this work anyway?
