Front to backs are huge
Is the delivered basis market holding value or is it getting crushed?.
Heard about el paso oct feb roll, from where I'm at, thinking selling Oct and going long Feb phys is better than feb merc, rather stack length in winter front and bet on hording of existing storage given forecast
At these levels I like owning winter physical against NYMEX short?Is the bias that the EFP's blow out further?

Need your book list from amazon.com!!!!   May sleet and snow tonight but I
think the ground is too warm to  stick or get icy.  Although I could use a
day off work!  Send me your christmas list!  Also, I see that Enron and
Dynegy have been negotiating for days.....this concerns me.  they cannot
seem to come up with a new price.  Are you continuing to lose trading?
what % of normal trades are you now doing a day?  I just hope you and
Matthew are OK.  And Jeannie.  Let me know.  Love you, Mom.

Subject:	Fantastic Friday/Super Saturday Interviewers
As you all know, the recruiting season is in full swing and the AA Program's recruiters are hitting campus as we speak.  One of the most important parts of the process and a key to Enron's future success are the Fantastic Friday and Super Saturday interview dates where we make the selections on those candidates who will receive offers from Enron for the 2002 recruiting class.  It is important that these candidates be interviewed by business leaders from each business unit and specifically those who utilize AA pool members.  Our goal is for each business unit to identify a core group of interviewers for each of the four interview weekends which will be held as follows:
Dates						Total Number of Interviewers Needed**
October 25-26           Fantastic Friday - Analysts			100		30 for dinner/70 for interview
November 2 -4 -        Super Saturday - Associates		100		30 for dinner/70 for interview
November 15-16        Fantastic Friday - Analysts			100		30 for dinner/70 for interview
November 30-Dec 1   Super Saturday - Associates		100		30 for dinner/70 for interview
I have attached a list of those individuals in various business units that have participated in the interview process in the past for your review (as a sample of the type of individual we are looking for as interviewers).  Please provide me a list of your business unit's interviewers by date by Friday, October 5.  Individuals are encouraged to interview more than one selected date and we will forward details to them at least a week prior to the interview date.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call.  Thanks again for all your help.  Ted and Traci
**  We do not expect you to provide all the interviewers.  This number reflects to total needed from all business units and will include those needed for both the evening and interview days..


all with perkins:
Q1 pass under 36 yards			+100
Q1 points under 11			+100
instant replay reversal			-120
Q2 over 11 points			+250
SF TD drive lay 6:1			+100
2nd half kickoff < 30			+100
TOTAL					+530
thanks.


John, here is a power point slide that provides a draft outline of the problem at hand.  It is very draft in nature but I wanted to get the working version over to you ASAP.  I wanted to get this discussion going via written format so that I (or others who may implement this) can stay focused on what you want and not get into broader research, etc....
I think I can put a model together if we can define what parameters, the interface (levers) and model (transfer functions) to use that would be useful for you as phase I product.
I will fire off updates to this document as I make them.  If you have a spec doc or ideas that you want to hand write on a print out, please do so and I will update the document.
I will like to make sure that I am on the same page before beginning to code the program and to start linking to additional moths (month 2, 3, ..) and different curves, etc.
My Job search has gone well with the Crude desk and I am waiting compensation indication from them to make my decision. Also, Kevin Presto feels that I could potentially help his power group with new market or spread trading.  John Suarez is a director who came from the power desk to EBS is going back to work for Kevin Presto.  I may have an opportunity to build the southeast market by supporting John.
I am very grateful that I met you and other key Enron traders during this job search.

Subject:	RE: Neural Networks
not necessarily looking for predictive power.  that's a 3 year project.  just for market making skillset.  The work that Dave Forster did was just for front month.  That creates month 1.  Then, similar logic has to create a month 1/month 2 spread to create a month 2 outright market.   Same for month 2/ month 3 to create month 3.  There might be 24-36 individual markets to create a forward curve.  Sometimes month 1 has correlation to the month 1/ month 2 spread.  Sometimes it does not.  Must create a system that is mechanical but very easy for a human to add bias.

John, I just wanted to give you heads up that I did look into the subject system to learn from what your trading activities and then figure ways to automate some aspects of you daily activities.  I will try to send you a few power point slides showing my initial thoughts on the system.
It appears that neutral network (AI is a subset of this class of learning systems) type of model that takes input from all available sources (including actual market feedback, weather and other fundamentals) and uses curve building functions and other existing tools as transfer functions, along with your own thinking (your processing functions that your neurons are wired up to do), could help the neural network to learn and eventually provide the necessary predictive power.

The following reports have been waiting for your approval for more than 4 days.  Please review.
Owner: Henry H Quigley
Report Name: Quigley 100301
Days In Mgr. Queue: 4


The World Wide RibFest "celebration of the Rib" is coming up.  This will be the 5th annual ribfest, and John Mee has his work cut out for him to defend the title he won last year (for the second time).  I believe he will have a tough time, as the competition looks increasingly focused on unseating the former Bostonian from his Throne.
For those of you who haven't been to a ribfest in the past, it's a barbeque competition where 5 to 7 cooks compete to see who can produce the best Baby Back Ribs (if you want those Fred Flintstone beef ribs, you ain't getting them here).  A blind-judging takes place to determine the winner, but often the crowd gets up in arms and nominates a "peoples choice" (though this is not officially recognized by the sanctioning body).
Every year, my wife asks the following: 	"So, besides Ribs, beer and margaritas, what else will be served?"
I reply:	"Nothing comes to mind."
She replies:	"No."
As you might expect, she wins this discussion year in, year out.  So, appetizers, sides, desserts and food & drink for the kids are also served.  The competition around the grills gets a little rough, so I recommend that the young and faint-of-heart maintain a safe distance while the cooking and competition is taking place.  The appropriate College football games will be broadcast, so you don't have to worry about missing any games.
There are a couple of changes to this year's competition:
The competition will be held at the John Mee/Laura Benjamins compound in Bellaire
Mike Paradise (who won the very first ribfest) has stepped out of the competition this year citing "personal reasons"
Date & Time
Saturday November 3rd.  We fire the grills up around 12:00, and the judging takes place between 3:00 and 3:30.
Where
4807 Elm Street in Bellaire
Directions (from John Mee himself)
From downtown, take 59s to 610s. The first exit is the Bissonette//Fournace exit. Take this exit and go through the light, noting the gouging in the lamppost from that freak cherry-picker accident from last April. Before the Bisonette light, there is a big Chase Bank Building. Right before that building is Elm Street. Take a right on Elm Street exactly 236 yards to 4807 Elm Street. Go inside and ask for directions there, cause I really don't have a clue...
KIDS
Bring 'em!  We'll have the Moonwalk set up for them again this year, and we'll have hot dogs, burgers, popcorn and drinks for them.  The more kids the better.
What you need to bring
Nothing, except maybe some attitude to heckle the cooks while they try to concentrate.
RSVP
Call 	John and Laura  713 839 8700 -or-
Greg and Martha 713 861 2766
We need to make sure we stock up enough ribs to go around.

hey man no problem.i know youre a busy man.its getting ahrder to say how to
play this thing. sprds are massive contango-minimal inverses in the winter.
indeed there shudnt be any problems to supply gas this winter but suply
growth hasnt been stellar and prob wont rise from here now.im not a raging
bull but the past couple of aga and the cashs trength. and the mkt
structure(no sellers in the forward), leads me to beleive there cud be more
upside. mkt is prob a range mkt for a time. but overall i think this is a
weather bet. if we have a winter it will suport the whole curve if its warm
i will be awful-stay in that 2.00-2.50 rnage for spot prices.
i think the prompt is out of the woods-if so long as we have normal
weather nov cash will be ok -wont trade lower than oct cash as long as we
have big incentive to roll storage mar/apr? i bailed. basically washed. in
the long term its prob ok but they arent gonna let me make any serious money
on it in the next few weeks prob longer so why have it on esp when this
winter is such a big discount to next-i guess theres some risk h/j moves
higher if they y on y sprds come in much?? not sure so i bailed. i dont
disagree with you on the calender sprds but i just dont think the entry pt
is attractive. about the only thing im running is nov long agaisnt dec and
jan shorts. pretty netrual no big bets on for now-first time in a awhile.
nothing is that obvious to me. if mktstays sort of balanced until end dec i
mite take a shot on the long side late dec early jan. i struggle paying
sucha  big premium for the forward curve

Subject: RE: wheres the love?
Sorry,sorry, sorry.
Havent had internet access at home for past 5 weeks.  Much easier to write
these at home as when I'm done trading I don't want to look at my computer.
For november, very neutral.  Cash is impressive.  Agree shutins, switching,
and some weather are making market look more like equilibrium.  Think with
cash/futures at 20 cents, x/z looks crazy.  As soon as z becomes prompt,
the fear factor/risk premium of it will decrease and the whole winter will
come off.  Like your h/j trade.  Hard to see it really being worth 9 cents
at settlement.  Been buying a lot of y/y cantango as I think next summer
will be a piece but longer term gas story still very real and customers
know it.  Wouldnt be surprised to see 2/3 go to 50+.  I think x has some
room to go up, but not a lot.  Dont want to play the market from the long
side as been burned before trying to get long a market that is still in a

Dear Mr. Arnold:
Thank you for your email.
Yes, recruiting season is now in full swing.  I am now waiting to hear from
Ms. Chenee Franklin, hoping to secure an interview.  Eva was very helpful
and informative; through her I learned a good deal about Enron's trading
businesses.
Once scheduled for an interview, I would appreciate it if we could talk over
the phone at your convenience.
Again, thank you, and I will keep you updated.
Sincerely,
Gad Caspy

Sorry for the extremely late response.  Despite the fact that Eva
referred
you, we would have interest in meeting with you about emplyment opps. I
was
planning on going to NY in a couple weeks but at this point, I don't
know.
I would highly recommend that you follow the formal recruitment program
in
addition to any talks we have.  Although I can recommend to make you an
offer, it is much easier if it is done in parallel with the associate
recruitment program.  After the current events calm down, we can talk
via
phone about my experience here and why I think there are some good
opportunities here.

I would like to set up a brief meeting in the afternoon this week or next, to discuss increasing the liquidity in west basis on EOL.  It would be helpful for our desk to sit down with John Arnold and John Lavorato to openly discuss the importance of continuing to increase liquidity on EOL.
I would also like to put to rest the notion that increasing liquidity leads to negative P&L and that a Trader's support of EOL liquidity will go unrecognized at year end PRC.
Please email me with a response of when we could set up such a meeting.

Enron Global Technology is in the process of decommissioning the support for all non-standard Internet Email address formats. The only Internet Email address format that will be supported, once this effort is completed, is firstname.lastname@enron.com. We will no longer support Internet Email address formats such as name@enron.com, name@ect.enron.com, name@ei.enron.com  (where "name" is an abbreviation, acronym or alternative to an employees firstname and/or lastname). Every Enron employee has an Internet Email address of firstname.lastname@enron.com and must begin making the necessary arrangements to start using this Internet address format if they are not using it already.
Any new/existing application systems or business cards that reference a non-supported Internet Email address will need to be changed to reference the only supported firstname.lastname@enron.com Internet address format. It is important to remember to also notify any external contacts who are currently sending Internet email to any non-supported Internet Email addresses.
To determine what your supported Internet Email address is, take your name as it appears in Outlook or Lotus Notes and replace any "spaces" that appear in your name with periods and append @enron.com. For example in Outlook, Alan Smith, Robert (firstname = Robert, Lastname = Alan Smith) will have a supported Internet Email address of robert.alan.smith@enron.com.
IMPORTANT : If you need to update your business card(s) to reflect your supported Internet Email address, please ensure you test & confirm the delivery of Internet email to your supported email address prior to updating your business cards. If you experience any issues with delivery of Internet email to your supported Internet email address, please contact the Resolution Center.
We will communicate further details, including the cut-off date, in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, it is imperative that you begin making the necessary arrangements to change over to using the firstname.lastname@enron.com Internet Email address format. If you have questions regarding this email, send an Email to enron.messaging.administration@enron.com.
Thank you for participation, cooperation and support.

Hi,
The power options trading desk is beginning to structure deals and to make markets in spark spread options ( options on the spreads between power prices and natural gas prices).  Please refer to the attached file for further information.
It would be most helpful to meet with the relevant individuals  on the Gas desk  who would be interested in spark spread options.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

John,
Attached is an email which I have sent to Savita (who will not be able to attend today). It addresses the Robotrader concept. I will bring some hardcopy to hit the high points this afternoon.

Savita,
Attached is the latest Robotrader spreadsheet.
As you may recall, we tried several different approaches to minimizing the cost of the market running up and then down again.
The solution which gave the best solution was also the simplest one.
Principles as follows:
- Basically an advanced Offset to Last Trade
- Definitions
- Intensity: Measures the length of time between transactions as a rolling average over the last x number of transactions (the Intensity Factor)
- Intensity Factor: The number of transactions used in calculating the rolling average Intensity
- Dead Interval: The period of time in which (if nothing occurs), an event or transaction is deemed to take place.
- Offset Reversion Ratio: The percentage by which the Offset will be reduced if a Dead Interval passes
- Spread Minimum: The minimum spread which can be used.
- Offset Minimum: The minimum offset which may be used.
- Spread-Offset Minimum: The minimum amount by which the spread must exceed the offset
- Spread Reversion Rate: The amount in dollars by which the spread will decrease if a Dead Interval passes
- Position Sensitivity: The position which, if exceeded, will cause the V Factor Adjustment to increase
- V-Factor adjust: The amount by which the Momentum will be increased if the Position Sensitivity is exceeded.
- Momentum: The measure of the degree to which the market is either just buying or just selling
- Adjusted Momentum: A Momentum number which may be boosted, causing a larger price reaction when the Position Sensitivity is exceeded.
- Offset: The amount by which a bid or offer will be increased/decreased when a transaction occurs.
- Spread: The difference between the bid and the offer
- General Principles and Mechanics
- As each Sell (Buy) occurs, the Momentum decreases (increases).
- The Adjusted Momentum is the same as the Momentum, unless the Position Sensitivity is exceeded.
- If the Position Sensitivity is exceeded, then the Adjusted Momentum is boosted by the V-Factor Adjustment
- The Offset is calculated by looking up the Offset value on a table for the specified Adjusted Momentum
- The Spread is calculated by looking up the value to boost (decrease) the Spread on a table for the Specified Intensity
- As the Intensity value drops, the Spread widens. As it increases, the Spread decreases.
- In a running market, the offset will increase quickly. If it establishes a new level, the Offset will slowly decrease
- If the market runs up and whipsaws back, the offset will stay large
- If a market range trades, the offset will trend to zero.
- If there are a large number of transaction in succession, the spread will widen
- If there are a small number of transactions in succession, the spread will tighten.

How was your weekend? MSA


Attached is a new link for employees unable to attend the all-employee meeting today at 10 a.m. (CDT) at the Hyatt Regency Houston, Imperial Ballroom. If you are located in London, Calgary, Toronto, Omaha, New York, Portland (ENA) or Houston, you can access the live event at


I completely understand and thanks for letting me know.  Maybe when I become a famous rock star and leave Enron you will reconsider.  I don't know if I can make it on Friday.  I am singing in a good friends wedding this weekend and the rehearsal dinner is Friday night.  If you are going to be out any other time this week let me know and if not I can get it next week.  How was your weekend with your friend?

Ok, so I'm an asshole.  Sorry for not responding earlier.  There really were some things I needed to think about.
As I spend the majority of my life at or around Enron, the majority of the people I know professionally, socially, and romantically have been from Enron.  The further I get professionally, the harder it seems to continue the other two: socially to keep my sanity, and romantically for so many other reasons.  Although I do really like you and am very attracted to you, it is just really tough for me to ask you out right now.  Your only fault in my eyes is your place of employment.  As such, I would prefer to try to be friends for a while.
I still do have your necklace.  I'll promise to have it Friday at the front porch if you're there.

All,
The below Analyst & Associate recruiting dates require ENA participation at Manager level at above.   In order to resource each of your departments it is important to have ENA's involvement and participation in the interviews and debrief sessions on Fantastic Friday and Super Saturday events.     These de-brief sessions will allow you the opportunity to select candidates you wish to join your groups.  The target  is to assign potential candidates to business units and departments from the outset.
As ENA has the highest percentage of A&A rotating in its business unit, the participation of ENA at interview should reflect this.     Therefore, please encourage your direct reports and managers to participate in the below events in order to secure candidates for your business area.
Associate Recruiting:		Saturday November 3						Total - 70 Candidates for Interview
Analyst Recruiting:		Friday, November 16						Total - 70 Candidates for Interivew
Associate Recruiting:		Saturday, December 1						Total - 70 Candidates for Interview
The above spreadsheet represents ENA's particpation today which I believe highlights the need for much additional support in these efforts.
Please confirm by return participation of your respective groups.
