Couldn't we bundle the birds together and sell chicken derivatives?

Sorry, my fingers made me post this.

1. It's something to consider. nt

[Burma Jones]

2. They're called McNuggets.......

[Froward69]

12. ya beat me to it...

"Parts is parts"

3. there already *are* chicken derivatives.

the livestock futures markets are the grandaddies of other derivatives.

4. Yep, Chunky Chicken Soup! n/t

[Joanne98]

5. LOL Chicken options!

[Wickerman]

6. Are we going to be able to take our chickens across state lines

to seek more healthcare for our hard-raised fowl?

[kentuck]

7. I will give this a triple- AAA rating...

Then we can ship them to Greece.

[Donnachaidh]

8. but you'd have to call it the Golden Goose Derivatives

and have some talking head call them *too good to fail*

9. synthetic chicken healthcare derivatives

We get to pick the chickens, the sickest ones we can find, take pictures of them on a good day (this is a synthetic bond after all) and sell this baby to Norwegian orphans and a few pension funds as being the hottest thing in healthcare payments with a guaranteed return because CHICKENS LAY EGGS!!!! I have a few friends who will rate this AAA, no problem. You and I can secretly short the bond.

Creating this derivative has been exhausting. 20 million dollar bonus, please.

10. Could we gather all the sick chickens into one bundle and bet against it?

[kentuck]

11. That's OK.

I can still give them all a triple AAA rating. :-)

[WhiteTara]

13. can I bet against you and sell CDOs?

that way I could bet there aren't enough chickens in the world to pay for the health debt...AND make money while I'm doing it.

14. Sell...like with maybe some small pigs or how about a donkey?

I think when we talk buy and sell, we need to figure how many chickens equal a donkley or how many donkeys equal a Camel. Goats should be worth at least a bride or two don't you think?
