Here it is, and it's also below:
We believe that hedging equities in a scenario of dollar strength makes sense, and at the same time find upside plays on exporters a good way to position for a continued dollar decline. As a hedge against potential equity weakness that occurs in tandem with a stronger dollar, we advocate short-term S&P 500 puts that “knock in” if the dollar strengthens, and find that such strategies reduce put option costs by one-third to one-half.
When derivative desks are creating synthetic products that are cheaper because of another derivative event, you know that trade is played out.
The idea that our market will only sell off if the dollar weakens is quite frankly yesterday's news.
Which is why this strategy is now recommended in print by Morgan Stanley.
This play also contributed to Wednesday's sell-off--oh my--the dollar strengthened--sell stocks!
Which begs the question. Which bills would you use?

Your post on Galleon and Goldman inside tips disappeared... did you piss someone off?? :P
Also I'm wondering, at what point does Joe six-pack get pissed to the point that he storms Goldman head quarters and drag out those executes and hang 'em from the top of a tree?
