Shorthand for Institutions in the S&P pit

csw2002

I keep getting private messages on the various shorthand I use to refer to institutions in the S&P pit update I provide through Cobra's daily thread.

Here is a list of them, not necessarily comprehensive - but should give you enough information for majority of the players in the market
GS/Goldman - Goldman Sach
MS/Morgan - Morgan Stanley
JP - JP Morgan
Chi Corp/Chicago - ex ABN AMRO
Solley/Saloman - Saloman Brothers (now part of Citi)
ML/Merrill - Merrill Lynch (part of BAC)
Swiss/Swissie - Union Bank of Switzerland
Devonshire - retail paper and used to be called Fidelity
SB/Smith/Smith Barney - part of Citi

By the way, there is no way to know whether the institutions are trading their own accounts or on behalf of their clients.

I think it's now a joint venture between Citi and Morgan Stanley. However, I keep thinking of Salomon Smith Barney even though that name was abandoned long ago.

I don't know what the relative volume No 1 has in the pit. However, he's able to swing 100 cars all by himself. I have absolutely no idea how much ES volume he accounts for.
