Subject: re : " analytical " var implementation in risktrac debbie , i am forwarding to you a 2 page document describing implementation of " analytical " var in risktrac . here is why this effort is very important : 1 . we need to calculate var for other percentile but 5 ( 1 % or even 0 . 2 % as mentioned by rick buy ) and our simulation model can not handle required number of simulations ; 2 . we need to present additional risk measures ( such as mean tail loss ) to the board . the analytical approach is implemented in a spreadsheet and fully tested already so there will be no problems with the algorithm itself . we need to get together and discuss it implementation . what do you think ? tanya | 0 |

Subject: b 2 b at enron tom , i am sending you the information about our new b 2 b unit . i have talked yesterday with greg whalley who is heading the new unit about the e - commerce project at wharton and recommended that enron join this program . i have sent him this morning a copy of the materials you gave me . the meeting with jeff skilling has been pushed till the 2 nd half of july . i talked to him briefly twice that jeff shankman and i want to discuss with him building a relationship with wharton . jeff shankman is , by the way , a great friend of your institution . vince * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * companies & finance : the americas : enron sees bricks and bytes mix reshaping energy market : purchase of mg only a start in building b 2 b platforms , writes hillary durgin : companies financial times ; 16 - jun - 2000 12 : 00 : 00 am ; 604 words by hillary durgin if jeffrey skilling is right , enron ' s acquisition of mg is only the tip of the iceberg . enron ' s president and chief operating officer is engineering a fundamental strategy shift at the houston energy company , aimed at making it a dominant " new economy " player across various industrial markets . the dollars 446 m acquisition last month of mg , the uk - based metals trader , is only the first of more than dollars lbn in estimated new investments the company is targeting . it is seeking vehicles on which to build business - to - business ( b 2 b ) platforms in sectors such as logistics , chemicals , agricultural products and pulp & paper . mr skilling wants to take the business model the company developed in natural gas and power and apply it to other wholesale commodity markets . he argues the electronic platforms it creates will not only become the principal b 2 b sites for those sectors , but reshape those industries . as an example , he points to enron ' s new e - commerce platform , enrononline , which has changed the way the company does business with its customers while significantly increasing sales . the company - the largest wholesale merchant of natural gas and power - saw wholesale , physical deliveries of natural gas surge 53 per cent in the first quarter . critics argue that enron ' s move away from its familiar energy business into new industries , where the learning curve is steep and the competition entrenched , is risky . yet a number of industry analysts point out enron has proved it understands markets and how to manage risks while becoming the largest importer of coal in the uk , the largest trader of gas and power in the us and grabbing an advantage in bandwidth . " it ' s a prudent strategy , but it ' s got to be done in an orderly way , " says ronald barone , analyst with paine - webber in new york . " what they ' re doing here is what they ' ve been incredibly successful at doing , " he adds , noting that enron posted dollars 1 . 3 bn in earnings before interest and taxes ( ebit ) from its wholesale energy and services business in 1999 , up 34 per cent from the previous year . earnings from that division accounted for two - thirds of the company ' s overall income before interest and taxes last year , and mr barone sees the unit ' s ebit increasing 15 - 30 per cent annually over several years . as with gas and power and now broadband , where enron is standardising contracts and creating a market in bandwidth , it wants to create markets by entering as a physical player and providing merchant , risk management and financial services over the internet . " we will provide electronic commerce , but we will provide liquidity and we will provide settlement , or fulfilment of that contract , " mr skilling says . " that is an extremely powerful model . if you look at other b 2 b sites , they don ' t do that . " mr skilling argues enron ' s e - commerce platform will triumph over the other , bulletin board - type exchanges , where striking a deal depends on two parties hooking up and working through uncertainties over timing , price , credit and fulfilment . not everyone shares that view . some energy companies , for example , would rather not do business with a competitor . bp amoco recently purchased a 3 per cent stake in altra energy technologies , a houston - based , neutral wholesale energy exchange . with koch industries and american electric power , it also committed to carry out a fixed volume of transactions on the site to lend it liquidity . just as in gas and power and now broadband and metals , enron believes it needs networks of strategic physical assets . in acquiring mg , enron got a stable of warehouses , lending it a strong physical position . " it should provide ( mg ) with a more vibrant , more active physical spot market in more markets in the world , " says greg whalley , chief executive officer of enron net works , the new division enron is launching to identify and enter commodity markets . he argues that in metals and other markets , enron will deliver better pricing , price risk management services , cross - commodity transactions and flexible transactions for a wider range of customers . mr skilling says there are significant rewards for restructuring an industry . " if you can take that platform , and you use the capabilities the bricks bring to the table , e - commerce the industry and change the structure , you ' re selling for more than a 50 multiple .

Subject: jacob feedback vince , chonawee and tom halliburton had feedback about jacob to me . tom ' s feedback is what he does for pros is actually too simple . their so - called trading system is actually a scheduling system . my impression is that jacob is good at selling himself , his knowledge of finance and derivatives is very limited . zimin - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - forwarded by zimin lu / hou / ect on 04 / 11 / 2001 03 : 31 pm - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - chonawee supatgiat @ enron 03 / 21 / 2001 07 : 28 pm to : zimin lu / hou / ect @ ect cc : tom halliburton / corp / enron @ enron subject : jacob feedback i asked jacob two questions to check his basic knowledge . he answered correctly in the optimization question so i believe that he has a good foundation on his optimization skill . i have a doubt about his stochastic skill because he took only one course in stochastic processes and his previous models are simple deterministic models . if we had more interview time i would be able to check his stochastic and modeling skills . he completely failed to answer the second question , which is to check his basic risk management skill . it is clear to me that he has a very weak background in finance and risk management . he does not understand the relationship between a discount rate and risk . he showed some weakness in annuity calculation . in conclusion , i feel that he has good basic in optimization but a very weak background in finance . based on his experiences , i have a doubt on his advance optimization skills , such as his stochastic skill and his ability to attack a complex optimization problem . i would recommend a second - round interview if he will be solving a complex - optimization problem . - chonawee | 0 |

Subject: california update 4 / 27 / 01 the following report contains confidential and sensitive information . please treat with discretion . executive summary : ? ferc price cap decision reflects bush political and economic objectives . politically , bush is determined to let the crisis blame fall on davis ; from an economic perspective , he is unwilling to create disincentives for new power generation ? davis finds four major flaws with ferc plan , most notably its exclusion of out - of - state generators ? june lst " kill clause " for ferc order could coincide with new bush regional plan ? california facing growing fiscal risk following bond downgrade , expected $ 20 billion power bill this summer - - economic crisis would force deeper administration involvement ? qf bid for advance payments from pg & e likely to fail in bankruptcy court ? new generation delays probable because of state / qf squabbling ? consumer groups are preparing a constitutional challenge to socal bailout deal 1 . ferc fallout the ferc decision is a holding move by the bush administration that looks like action , but is not . rather , it allows the situation in california to continue to develop virtually unabated . the political strategy appears to allow the situation to deteriorate to the point where davis cannot escape shouldering the blame . once they are politically inoculated , the administration can begin to look at regional solutions . moreover , the administration has already made explicit ( and will certainly restate in the forthcoming cheney commission report ) its opposition to stronger price caps on the grounds that they are unwilling to create disincentives to the construction of new generation . it is interesting and ironic to note that electricity generators were generally happy with the ferc order and that the only ferc commissioner who favors price caps actually voted against this plan . 2 . something less than effective price caps from davis ' s point of view , the ferc plan has four major flaws : ? the order applies only to california , not to the rest of the west . non - california generators are not required to sell at capped rates to california . ? as the order is written , it is more of a price floor for emergency power than a ceiling . ? state officials also believe that energy suppliers will continue to game the system , because the price mitigation scheme only kicks in after a stage 2 emergency and does not require any collusion . ? even when the price caps kick in , they are based on the cost - plus for the highest cost producer supplying power to california and do not require wholesalers to abide by the cap . the generators can also charge above the cap , provided they can subsequently justify the excess charge to ferc . 3 . proposal " kill clause " adds to the political dilemma for davis the ferc proposal includes a " kill clause " that says the caps will be withdrawn unless california ' s iso agrees by june lst to become part of the regional grid now under ferc control . if davis doesn ' t sign on to the regional grid by june lst , then he will have to live with june 2 nd headlines blaming him for letting the " bush price caps plan " collapse . 4 . growing fiscal risk in california sources speculate that california could therefore pay as much as $ 20 billion on power this summer - this is more than the combined enterprise value of pg & e and sce . these sources believe that , because of the severity of the situation , the ferc and / or the federal government will be forced to take further action to control prices for power . the consensus is that the state of california will run out of money in about 90 days . one of the first projects to be cancelled will be state plans to finance new power plant construction in exchange for long - term power deals . the bleak fiscal picture is also causing bank creditors to revisit the bridge loans they are providing to california . the bush administration and the fed are only now waking up to the seriousness of the fiscal picture . the country ' s largest and most prosperous state will have gone from large surpluses to serious debt downgrades and devastating deficits in a matter of months . 5 . qfs to seek advance payment from pg & e meanwhile , on the bankruptcy front , the qfs reportedly will ask the bankruptcy judge today to give them advance payment from pge ' s accounts , since their natural gas vendors have likewise demanded advance payment for gas . it appears very unlikely that the qfs ' request will be granted . if the qfs do not receive advance payment , it is likely that most of the 4 , 000 mw of gas - fired qf capacity will remain offline . 6 delays likely in new qf generation the qf deals made with the state for long - term contracts are being continually renegotiated , which is likely to mean that the new plants those contracts are supposed to finance will not be online as early as anticipated . 7 . consumer groups ready to challenge constitutionality of sce bailout plan harvey rosenfield and his colleagues reportedly have been reviewing an analysis of the mou for the sce bailout plan . the analysis was done by a utilities analyst , rather than a lawyer , though it appears to raise a number of good legal points . for example , one of the elements of the mou is a " non - bypassable " charge on ratepayers that would require them to pay even if they disconnect from the grid . this is effectively a tax , since there is no exchange of value for money , which under the ca constitution cannot be used to directly benefit a private entity . this makes the bonds that would be issued are general obligation bonds , rather than revenue bonds . according to the constitution , the state cannot be put into debt to benefit a private company . for this and other reasons , even if the republicans would vote for the sce bailout , which remains unlikely , the bailout probably would not stand a likely constitutional challenge . 8 . governor hurt by continued failure to disclose long - term power contracts the issue of the governor ' s failure to disclose the details of the long - term power contracts continues to distress the other players in the crisis . even if he were to disclose everything he and his staff have been negotiating , it is likely that their actions and negotiations will challenged , creating an even further delay . | 0 |

what are the early warning signs of an impending shakeout ? - which ecommerce markets are most susceptible to a shakeout ? will there be single or multiple winners ? - which companies are likely to survive ? what strategies will the winners use ? there is controversy and uncertainty about which factors will most contribute to prospects for survival . how important are first mover advantages and building brand equity ? what do incumbents have to do to prevail ? which business models are most robust ? how important is the ability to manage strategic partnerships ? these issues will be addressed with a program that encourages active dialogue and interaction and includes speakers from industry , academia and wall street . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ agenda * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * dinner co - author of the best - selling books net gain and net worth ) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * conference - riday , october 20 8 : 00 - 8 : 30 a continental breakfast and david reibstein , woodside prof . of marketing , wharton school and director , marketing science institute ) 11 : 30 - 12 : 15 p technology investing , 15 things that should be true ( stephen j . andriole , senior vice president and chief technology officer , safeguard scientifics ) 12 : 15 - 1 : 30 working lunch participants will work in small groups . half the group will be asked to select an ecommerce firm with a strong likelihood of winning and identify the most important reasons for success ; the other half will be asked to do the same for a firm that is likely to fail . 1 : 30 - 2 : 15 small group reports 2 : 15 - 3 : 00 finding a winning strategy ( norman drapeau , chief executive officer of mro . com ) 3 : 00 - 3 : 15 break 3 : 15 - 4 : 00 living through a consolidation ( harry smilow , previously chief executive officer of telebank which is now part of e * trade ) 4 : 00 - 4 : 45 a view from wall street ( henry blodget , first vice president and senior internet / e - commerce analyst , merrill lynch ) 4 : 45 - 5 : 00 sum up - what have we learned ?
