OPINION....

Doesn't that now mean that a singular financial instrument is trading without caveat and defined separation of a linaged derrivitive?

Realistically, if the outcome of a rolling can be 'influenced' in either direction, post large financial silo usage, wouldn't that be as if a free carry loan at advantage is optioned by he bearer.

Much like a blank cheque book of sorts.... could be the perfect institutional raid blunt instrument. At Minimum definitely the Shrodinger of cats. and a Solid snake of a cardboard box.
