Celeste,
Thanks a lot. Please, let us know whom you are willing to take based on the
campus interviews,
and I shall absorb the overflow. My experience with the Teams 1 & 3 is that
they are outstanding students
and we shall be able to offer them a fulfilling summer internship.
Last year we took 8 summer interns into research and all of them very happy
with the program.

Subject: Hiring of Wharton Tiger Teams members for summer associate positions
in Research
Vince:
Just want to confirm our conversation regarding your interest in the Wharton
Tiger Teams 1& 3 and your intent to hire interested members into the summer
associate program. You stated that you could take all members into your
research group for the summer. Kristin Gandy is now in the process of
obtaining from either you or members of your department the names of the
individuals on teams 1 & 3. Some of these individuals may have interviewed
with us during the campus process. If they did and were turned down by the
team for a summer position, we will not extend offers to those individuals.
Otherwise, if you are willing to take the additional Tiger Team Members into
your group based on the experience you and your staff have had in working
with these students, then the Associate Program will facilitate those offers.
At mid summer and the end of the summer, these Wharton MBAs' performance will
be evaluated and cross-calibrated with other summer associates to determine
whether they receive an offer to join the full-time Associate Program.
Offers will be given to those summer associate who achieve extremely high
performance ratings.
As soon as Kristin receives the names of these individuals and determines
which members did not already interview, she will get out both a verbal and
offer to them.
As follow-up, Jana Giovannini, Manager of Staffing in Career Development,
will staff those that accept our offer from this Tiger Team list into your
group for the summer.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Celeste Roberts

NEWS FROM THE GLOBAL FLASH
EnPipe Services
The Continental Gas team is launching the first virtual gas transportation
product in Europe, EnPipe Services. EnPipe will offer customers the ability
to swap gas between the NBP in the UK and the Zeebrugge Hub in Belgium.
Customers will be able to nominate volumes on a day-ahead basis, and will pay
for the service by an up-front premium. This new service should encourage
more participants at the Zeebrugge Hub, which will lead into more liquidity
at other trading locations developing on the Continent. Similar to the
virtual storage service, EnBank, EnPipe demonstrates Enron's ability to offer
valuable services to the market through smart risk management rather than
capital-intensive infrastructure. The first EnPipe auction will close on 15
March, and customers may submit their bids on EnronOnline.
Teesside Gas Processing Plant
On Thursday, 1st March, the Teesside Gas Processing Plant achieved ISO
9001:2001Quality Management System Accreditation. This achievement is the
result of 12 months hard work, enthusiasm and commitment by all plant staff
and has also been a great team effort with the Enron Global Asset
Organisation providing technical and moral support.
An ISO Team was formed in February 2000 led by Iris Thomas (QA Coordinator)
and supported by members from all site disciplines including Operations,
Maintenance, Accounts and IT. A program was implemented to prepare, write,
issue and control, detailed procedures to ensure the plant was operated and
maintained to the quality standards required by ISO 9001:2001. Customer
satisfaction and focus is an integral part of the standard and a great deal
of effort has been put into this area. Following a pre-audit in January the
final accreditation audit commenced on Wednesday, 28th February, with
accreditation being confirmed on Thursday, 1st March.

***QUESTION OF THE WEEK***
----------------------------------------
QUESTION: What are "blue sky" regulations?
ANSWER: When a company goes public, it
must file a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, which regulates the federal
securities laws. Also, each state has
its own set of regulations - known as
"blue sky laws." Thus, before a company
can sell stock in particular state, the
securities must be "blue skied." The origin
of the phrase comes from the late 1800s,
when a judge compared an IPO to the value
of a section of the blue sky.

***ON THE INSIDE***
----------------------------------------
Ariba Inc. (ARBA) helps manufacturers like DuPont and
distributors like FedEx streamline purchasing with
procurement software, but corporate insiders have been
doing far more selling than buying of their company's
stock.
A rash of insiders have filed Form 144 in recent days,
weeks and months, notably co-founder and Chief Financial
Officer Edward Kinsey. On June 6, he filed to sell 90,000
shares valued at $5.0 million, or $55 a share, through
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, lead underwriter of Ariba's
IPO one year ago. May 30 he filed to sell 100,000 shares
for $7 million, and May 18 the Kinsey Family Foundation
filed to sell 14,000 shares for $1.1 million.
Marketing vice president David Rome filed to sell 150,000
shares for $10.5 million on May 30. Robert D. Lent, vice
president for corporate development, filed May 24 to sell
200,000 shares for $14.3 million.
The sales come long after Ariba's price peaked at $183.34
in early March, before the Nasdaq Stock Market plunged amid
the fallout over rising interest rates and concern about
soaring valuations. Back then insiders, who began to sell
immediately after the six-month lock-up on their shares
expired, were reaping far more from their sales: Rome, for
example, indicated in a February 1 filing he would sell
200,000 shares for $35 million.
Business-to-business is regarded as the hottest of the
Internet's hot spots, and Ariba as a leader in its niche.
The insider sales are tiny in comparison with the company's
235.8 million outstanding shares, but they make a dent in
the float -- more than two-thirds of Ariba's stock is owned
by insiders and institutions.

Ravi never said a word to me and should have closely coordinated with me -
otherwise he should have used his own name. I have a problem with Ravi
acting in that manner. No one is questioning Shalesh' integrity but the
Associate Analyst program called me and stated that Shalesh told them that I
had requested the move. If he did that he should not have used my name. I
am very sensitive to Analysts moving within a rotation. It has happened to
me numerous times and I do not appreciate the disruption it can cause. If
you need Shalesh for any reason then he will not be moving.

Clarification regarding Shalesh' transfer to EBS.

Shalesh is concerned that his integrity is being questioned and I can assure

Dear Vince
Please may I reintroduce myself. We met last year at the Sydney EPRM
conference which my company KWI sponsored. I chaired the session at which
you spoke.
As you may remember, my company, KWI are one of the world's leading
provider
of systems (kW3000) and consultancy for energy, trading and risk
management.
We have over 60 clients worldwide including many of the world's leading
energy companies (not Enron unfortunately):
North America
- TVA
- Ontario Power
- Cinergy
- Bonneville Power
Europe
- Enel
- ATEL
- Electrabel
- EDF
Nordic
- Vattenfall
- Fortum
- Sydkraft
- Statkraft
- Birka Energi
- Norsk Hydro
Each year we stage a "KWI Users Forum" - a 2-day event attended by leading
trading and risk staff from our clients. Last year there were about 100
delegates. The agenda primarily focusses on issues surrounding risk
management for the energy sector.
The agenda comprises keynote presentations on burning risk issues from
industry leading energy speakers and practical workshops focussed around
using our software.
This years event is at a luxury hotel in the wonderful Spanish city of
Barcelona and runs from the evening of Sunday September 9th to Tuesday
September 11th. The main conference dinner is on the Monday evening and is
always a memorable event. This year it is in a leading Barcelona restaurant
preceded by a bus tour of the city with a stop for pre-dinner drinks.
I would like to invite you to make the opening keynote address, the
highlight of the conference.
The subject could be:
* a general energy risk related topic
* a general insight into the secret of Enron's continued success in
the energy markets
* your thoughts on the future development on energy markets (and other
commodity related - bandwidth etc.) worldwide
Obviously, we would cover all your delagate costs including accomodation,
food and drink.
What's in it for you ? Many of our users are some the energy sectors
leading
risk thinkers and I'm sure you would enjoy meeting them and exchanging
views.
Please let me know if you are able to accept the invitation.
Best regards
David Warwick - Marketing Dierctor and Co-founder

Companies Turn to Grades, and Employees Go to Court
By REED ABELSON
An increasingly popular technique for evaluating employees is
prompting lawsuits charging discrimination at three big companies.
At issue is the ranking of managers, professionals and sometimes
lower-level employees from best to worst, or grading them on a bell
curve, and then using that ranking to help determine pay and
sometimes whether to fire someone.
In their suits, all filed over the last year or so, employees at
Microsoft, Ford Motor and Conoco say the rating systems are unfair
because they favor some groups of employees over others: white
males over blacks and women, younger managers over older ones and
foreign citizens over Americans.
A growing number of companies are turning to grading systems, also
known as forced rankings or distributions, as a way of making sure
managers evaluate employees honestly and make clearer distinctions
among them. At companies that do not compare employees with one
another this way, nearly every employee can come away feeling above
average, like the children of Lake Wobegon. But under the grading
system, managers are forced to identify some people as low
performers.
At General Electric, for example, supervisors identify the top 20
percent and bottom 10 percent of their managerial and professional
employees every year. The bottom 10 percent are not likely to stay.
As John F. Welch Jr., General Electric's chief executive, wrote
last month to shareholders, "A company that bets its future on its
people must remove that lower 10 percent, and keep removing it
every year * always raising the bar of performance and increasing
the quality of its leadership."
Ranking or grading employees is also common at technology
companies like Cisco Systems and Hewlett- Packard. But recently the
concept has been catching on more broadly, according to management
consultants. One reason is that as the economy slows, companies
often lay off employees. Cisco, for example, announced earlier this
month that it would let go as many as 5,000 workers * and would use
grading as one way to identify people to lay off.
"Companies are playing their version of `Survivor,' " said David
Thomas, a professor at the Harvard Business School.
Another reason is that some companies are eager to copy Mr. Welch,
long viewed as one of the most successful managers in America.
Defenders of these systems say anyone who gets a low grade is
likely to view the process as unfair. " `A' students love grades;
`F' students hate grades," said John Sullivan, a human resources
professor at San Francisco State University.
But the techniques, which some employees label with terms like
"rank and yank," have come under sharp criticism. While they appear
to offer an objective way to judge employees, they can be
vulnerable to bias, Mr. Thomas said. Managers may stereotype
employees when evaluating them on vague criteria like career
potential * deciding that older workers, for example, may have a
harder time keeping up with new technology.
In some cases managers can view these systems "as a tool to be
used to weed out the ones you don't want," said Thomas S. McLeod, a
lawyer in Canton, Mich., who represents employees suing Ford in
another case.
Critics of the system also argue that companies should not apply a
bell curve, in which a small number of employees get the highest
and lowest rankings and a much larger number are grouped in the
middle. The bell curve model assumes a normal distribution among a
very large group of random individuals, not small groups.
What is more, across a company, people who belong to a
particularly talented unit will suffer if a certain number of them
must be given poorer grades than they would get in another unit.
"You end up with dysfunctional results," said Edward E. Lawler
III, a business professor at the University of Southern California.
Some lawsuits contend that Microsoft's grading systems are
discriminatory. One, filed last October, seeks class-action status
on behalf of blacks and women. The suit states that the rating
system "permits managers, who are predominantly white males, to
rate employees based upon their own biases rather than based upon
merit."
According to the lawsuit, employees are rated on a five-point
scale, with only a certain percentage permitted to receive each
score. Employees doing the same job in the same unit are also given
a "stack ranking," from most to least valuable. Managers decide
those rankings largely using what are called "lifeboat
discussions," where they choose which employees they would want
with them if stuck in a lifeboat. Managers had no other clear
criteria, according to Christine Webber, a lawyer at Cohen,
Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll who is representing the employees.
Grading is highly subjective at Microsoft, according to Peter M.
Browne, a former executive who is also suing the company, charging
discrimination. Mr. Browne, who is black, said managers were forced
to use a curve in evaluating even small groups. He said he had to
rate a group of five on a curve, for example, in deciding which
ones would not receive stock options.
"You weren't told anything * just meet the curve," Mr. Browne
said.
He says managers ended up favoring people with whom they
socialized. "People gravitate to people who are like them, and the
system just forces that," he said.
Microsoft defends its system as fair and helpful. "We want to give
the highest compensation to the very top performers," said Deborah
Willingham, senior vice president for human resources, adding that
the system included checks and balances to ensure fair treatment.
Employees can appeal their ratings, for example, and are largely
responsible for developing the criteria by which they are
evaluated.
Ms. Willingham also said the company did not ask its managers to
give a fixed percentage of their employees any given score. "We
don't force that curve to look any certain way," she said.
Microsoft has no formal "stack rank" policy, she said. And when
managers do have lifeboat discussions, they are a tool to consider
which employees they would want to keep if they were starting
again.
While the company would not comment on the lawsuits, Microsoft
"expressly prohibits discrimination," Ms. Willingham said.
Similar criticisms emerged in a lawsuit brought last month against
Ford. It argues that the company's new grading system discriminates
against older workers. The company, which adopted what it calls its
performance management process a year ago, gives its 18,000
managers A, B or C grades. Last year, the company awarded 10
percent an A, 80 percent a B and 10 percent a C.
Ford also faces a second lawsuit asserting that it unfairly
discriminated against older white males in its grading.It would not
comment on the litigation but defended its use of grades. "We
believe the system is fair and nondiscriminatory," a company
spokeswoman said. "We are in a very competitive industry, and we
need all of our employees to be the best they can be."
At Conoco, employees contend that the company discriminated
against United States citizens and older workers when it laid off a
dozen geophysicists and other scientists in 1999 based on a ranking
from one to four, according to a lawsuit filed last year. The
majority of those let go were Americans, according to the suit, as
opposed to British, Norwegian and Canadian professionals.
"The rating system was selectively enforced, and there were
instances of manipulation," said John Zavitsanos, the lawyer
representing the workers. Even though some were given higher
ratings on earlier rankings, they were eventually given the lowest
possible rating of four.
Conoco, based in Houston, has extensive operations in the North
Sea, and many of the senior managers at the division in question
are British, according to Mr. Zavitsanos.
While Conoco said it could not comment on the litigation, it said
its evaluations were based on several factors, including
performance, skills and expertise. The company said ratings often
changed as more information was collected and people were evaluated
in larger groups. Conoco company also denied that decisions were
based on anything other than individual capabilities.
Companies "do need something in making pay decisions, downsizing
decisions," said Jim Kochanski, a consultant with Nextera
Enterprises. The problem is that companies may not take enough care
in deciding how people should be ranked. "They can get it very
wrong," he said.

This means there will be changes intended to avoid overlaps. Sorry for that.
The portions of my presentation
will survive (those about valuation paradigms) and I shall add a few more
pages on accounting treatment of weather derivatives
plus more specific examples. David will cover primarily market evolution +
plus examples of some
standard structures, and we shall both give more interesting examples of
specific deals executed by our companies.
I shall send you an updated version of my part next week. Let me know what

Buy.
As you have correctly pointed out, the model validation issues cannot
be handled internally by Research.
The problem is that everybody is swamped right now with
PRCs and end-of-year issues.
I don't think we shall send our full VaR model under any circumstances.
We can offer to sell a reduced version based on RiskMetrics.
By the way, our meeting Tuesday will start at 11:00 a.m., Houston time.

Subject: Re: EnergyDesk
Hi Vince
James New from London Risk Mgt has asked me to sign off the computations in
EnergyDesk.com for use in Oslo office's new system. I'm a little
uncomfortable with this since:
1. Sign off of models is something that I've been brought up to consider to
be the domain of RAC. They disagree in part (see below), which leads me to...
2. London Research is not the "owner" of Exotica, and we don't necessarily
have the time/resource/expertise to audit Houston Research's code. Indeed,
can Research group sign off their own efforts? By definition the originating
group for a piece of code thinks it's OK, or they wouldn't have written it
that way.
3. I'm concerned about Research group code being sold to external clients
without Research involvement. (I received a query a couple of weeks ago from
an EnergyDesk.com guy, Jan Lillehammer, who said he was planning to sell our
VaR system, and asked if he could have a copy!)
I've tried to emphasise that we support Exotica for internal purposes only,
and that our entire setup presupposes the presence of resident quants on the
trading floor to support the tools that Research write.
Your advice/guidance would be appreciated.
All the best,
Steve

I called and left a voicemail but I thought for the benefit of the CC's on
this, my view is that RAC have never been required to sign off on valuation
methods. The standard models used at Enron, like SPRDOPT and other routines
in Exotica.xls are written by Research and therefore I have always assumed
endorsed by Research. Having said that I do believe firmly that all RAC - MRM
folks should have a deep understanding of the way products are valued and be
able to assess and challenge a method.
I am also happy to provide assistance in the process of designing a method
but I wouldn't want either of us to feel that RAC are in the way of progress
by being embedded in a project plan.
In this instance, given the appropriate documentation, I would imagine the
time taken to assess the EnergyDesk methodology would be very short - what do
you have that I could look at ?

Subject: EnergyDesk
I would like to try to clear up a few things regarding the proposed
implementation of EnergyDesk into Oslo.
I thought that it was a requirement that all valuation engines (and any
future changes to the valuation code) are required to be signed off by
research and RAC before they can be used to value the firm's positions. If
this is true then this is all I am looking to get onto the project plan the
time estimates you need to complete your review process. If there is no
requirement for RAC or research to sign off new or changed valuation engines
then I will trouble you no further.
Thanks James

Dr. Masson,
I attended your lecture at UH and enjoyed it tremendously. If possible, I

or Enron in general. Would you please review my resume and/or forward to
potentially interested parties?
In tandem will all of Enron's other propaganda efforts, your top-notch
lecture at UH spurred me to do some soul searching. I currently work at
Duke Energy Trading and Marketing, but have been extremely impressed with
Enron's cutting-edge research and market-leading position.
I have a Ph.D in electrical engineering from Rice (statistical signal
processing) with two years of experience at Duke relating to the valuation,
risk management, and risk measurement of financial derivatives and physical
assets. I seek a similar position that would allow me to leverage my
quantitative skills and grow within in the corporation.
I believe I would be a great fit with Enron and hope you would consider me
for a potential position.

Subject: Summer Internship Position
Hi Dr. Kaminski,
As I told you last Monday in Dr. Kao's class I am
looking for a summer internship position in your group
in which I can use my economics background together
with my quantitative skills and knowledge in
electricity markets. Currently, I am a third year
Ph.D. student at the Economics Department of the
University of Houston. At the end of this semester
I'll be completing my coursework and starting to write
my dissertation which analyzes the access pricing
issue in network industries, especially in electricity
transmission.
I would like to give you a few examples from my
coursework. In addition to basic Statistics I-II and
Econometrics I-II, I have taken "Macroeconomic
Modeling and Forecasting" (Time Series) class in which
I learned RATS. In "Applied Econometrics" class, it
was given a great deal of attention to the case method
learning approach that involved extensive computer
analysis. We were taught SAS. As a term paper I worked
on electricity demand forecasting. This semester I am
taking "Special Topics in Applied Econometrics" course
in which I am being taught Qualitative Dependent
Models, MLE, Panel Data Techniques, and so on, and as
software STATA. Moreover, this semester I am also
taking "Options Theory and Its Applications" class and
auditing Dr. Kao's class. I definitely agree with you
in what you mentioned in your lecture last Monday
about the understanding of the options theory as a
necessity in the energy sector.
Besides, I spent my last summer in the Oil and Gas
unit of the World Bank as a research assistant. This
work experience in which I had great exposure to the
energy market issues and my own research area, which
is regulation of transmission pricing (congestion
pricing), made me believe that the ongoing
restructuring of the electricity sector, especially
the transmission network issue, could be well
understood by working in the industry.
Dr. Kaminski, attached you can find my resume. I would
be glad if you could find a chance to review it and
get back to me soon.
Many thanks,
=====

Spotlight Report
Exchange products seeing slow trading
GAVIN SOUTER
03/20/2000
Business Insurance
Page 3
Copyright (C) 2000 Crain Communications, Inc. All rights
reserved.
Exchange-based insurance products developed in recent years have
been somewhat slow to get off the ground.
Although several exchanges have offered derivative contracts since
the mid-1990s to cover insurance risks, none so far has posted a
significant volume of trades.
Few insurers, reinsurers or policyholders have been drawn away
from the traditional insurance markets, where capacity remains
abundant and relatively cheap.
As long as those traditional markets manage to weather major
natural catastrophes, the allure of the exchange-based products will
remain limited, observers say.
Also stifling the growth of the exchange-based contracts is the
limited number of contracts available, one expert noted. Dealers, he
said, are unable to secure a suitable hedge by laying off one
contract against another.
Although the various exchanges have had a good opportunity to
establish a widely used set of new risk financing products, that has
not been achieved, said Morton Lane, senior managing director,
capital markets division at Gerling Global Financial Products in
New York.
The main problem with the existing exchanges is that they do not
offer a sufficiently diverse array of products, he said. The only way
to control the risks in the catastrophe options is to have a diversified
portfolio of other contracts, and none of the exchanges currently
offers a sufficiently broad range of options to provide for that
hedge, he said.
Florida windstorm options, for example, cannot be bought and then
hedged in the same way that International Business Machines Corp.
stock options contracts can be hedged with IBM stock, Mr. Lane
explained.
The exchanges might be more attractive to investors if, in addition to
natural catastrophe options, they included options on other risks, he
said. Those might include, for example, satellite, aviation and crop
indexes, Mr. Lane said. "For the insurance buyer, such exchange
instruments would not represent the perfect risk transfer vehicle, but
as long as they are quantifiable and indexable, they may represent a
good surrogate," he said.
The exchanges could also be used to create a derivatives market for
over-the-counter securitized deals, if there are regular issuers of
catastrophe bonds, Mr. Lane said.
The soft insurance market has also hindered the growth of
exchange-based insurance products, said Sean F. Mooney, senior
vp and chief economist at Guy Carpenter & Co., the reinsurance
brokerage unit of Marsh Inc. in New York.
"The traditional market has been so competitive that people are not
looking for other ways of doing business," he said.
At least in concept, the exchange-based deals are generally similar
to the mortgage-backed securities that have been a huge success
since they were introduced in the 1970s. "There is a belief that
alternative means of transferring risks will grow, but it is difficult to
predict when," Mr. Mooney said.
Currently, the trading that is taking place typically involves
established insurers and reinsurers, so the exchanges have not
brought substantial new capacity to the marketplace, he said.
Guy Carpenter provided the index for the Bermuda Commodities
Exchange reinsurance products. The BCE did not take off,
however, and was suspended last year after two years of little
activity.
The oldest of the insurance-related, exchange-based derivative
products are the catastrophe options traded on the Chicago Board
of Trade, which began trading the options in 1996.
Initially, there was substantial interest in the options, but the soft
traditional market has hampered use of the contracts to hedge
catastrophe exposures, said Carlton Purty, an independent broker
at the CBOT who trades in options.
No catastrophe option trades have been completed at the CBOT
so far this year, he said. Last year, there was increased interest in
the contracts because of Hurricane Floyd, but few contracts were
traded, Mr. Purty said.
"I think a major, major catastrophe will have to happen before they
really take off," he said.
The contracts offer real protection, and options dealers are keen to
trade in a new niche, but the conventional insurance and reinsurance
markets are so soft that few companies are turning to alternative
coverage options, Mr. Purty said.
The Catastrophe Risk Exchange, located in Princeton, N.J., has
radically changed its structure since it was originally announced in
mid-1996, and it is well positioned to expand, said Frank Sweeney,
chief operating officer.
CATEX initially planned to be a computer-based facility for
reinsurers that would enable them to exchange catastrophe risks
and to build balanced portfolios.
But by the time the exchange was operational in November 1996, it
was clear that most reinsurers and insurers interested in CATEX
wanted only to buy and sell conventional reinsurance, Mr. Sweeney
said.
Although there was some interest in risk swapping, only a handful of
risks were posted on the system, and none was traded, Mr.
Sweeney said.
Consequently, CATEX has become chiefly a "cash for cover"
exchange, he said, noting that the risks reinsured on the exchange
include property catastrophe coverage, aviation and liability
coverages. CATEX also trades industry loss warranties, where
coverage is triggered by an actual loss combined with an industry
loss over an agreed threshold.
Other adjustments to the exchange included making it accessible
through the Internet in November 1998. And late last year, CATEX
offered users the ability to set up smaller networks, allowing them
form groups whose members do business only with one another.
Since its inception, CATEX has completed about 450 trades,
totaling $400 million in premium and more than $3 billion in limits,
he said. CATEX's roughly 160 subscribers include reinsurers,
insurers and corporate entities that purchase coverage through their
captives, Mr. Sweeney said.
"We obviously have a long way to go, but we are pretty satisfied
with what we have achieved so far," Mr. Sweeney said.
The exchange sees increased activity after major losses, as cedents
seek to buy replacement coverage to offset depletions in their
existing cover, he said. For example, Mr. Sweeney said, there was
a flurry of activity after the European windstorms in December last
year.
Last September, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange entered the field
of insurance-related derivatives when it began offering weather
derivatives .
Thus far, 420 futures contracts have been traded, said Larry
Grannan, senior director in product marketing at the CME.
Such contracts are designed to allow businesses to hedge against
weather-related losses. For example, a utility may sell less power in
a mild winter, and it would be able to use the futures to hedge a
resultant fall in revenues.
The exchange first offered heat-based indexes for Atlanta, Chicago,
Cincinnati and New York. In January, it added Philadelphia, Dallas,
Des Moines, Las Vegas, Tucson and Portland, and it began offering
contracts based on cold weather.
Currently, most of the trades are between securities dealers
themselves, but, eventually, the contracts will likely be used more
extensively by utilities and insurers, Mr. Grannan said.
In addition, the futures contracts could be used as hedges for
over-the-counter securitized deals, he said.

Darren,
Glad to hear from you ! I heard that you moved to Japan, hope everything
goes well for you.
The catastraphe option was listed in Chicago broad of trade, but the open
interest was very small.
Internally, Enron insurance group knows a few insurance companies offer such
product. The contact
person is Jim Bouillion.
If you are interested to offer such bond/insurance in Japan, we can look
into the pricing and "hedging" (i.e. reinsurance)
issues. I will discuss this with Vince, Stinson and Vasant.
Best Regards,

Subject: Japan Catastrophe Bonds
Hello Zimin. I hope all is well with you.
As you may have heard,I moved to Enron Japan about 2 weeks ago in order to
foster a financial trading presence here, with the intention of utlizing this
location to better optimize the management of Gary's exisitng portoflios, as
well as to identify and act on local trading or financial opportunities.
One peripheral, recurring idea has been for Enron to somehow establish a
market in catastraphe bonds and/or insurance. Earthquakes are perhaps the
greatest risk that the Japanese people fear according to various polls, a
natural response to the significant number of earthquakes that occur in the
area . Such a product would have tremendous and widespread appeal and from a
cursary review, it does not appear that there is a developed,liquid market
for such products.
I was wondering if you could talk to Vince briefly about his thoughts
regarding the feasibility of such a product, in terms of hedging where a
natural offset is not found. Is this a product that research feels a hedge
can be made against with a reasonable amount of statisitcal confidence? I
realise this is vague and if you need any more information, please contact
me.
Sincerely,
Darren

Subject: Wharton collaborative research
Here is a short note on potential research with Wharton. Please review and
edit and then we can send some indication to the Wharton guys. ----------
The objective would be to define the amount of risk an enterprise can take,
and the difference between this and the actual amount of risk the enterprise
chooses to take based on the capital structure and reporting structure. In
particular, one can view Enron as a hierarchy of companies, and assuming we
can separately quantify the risks of each unit, what framework would one use
to analyze risk at Enron?
A related question is how one should represent risks in the different
units? Risks may be of different types --- short-term volatility risk,
catastrophic risk, liquidity risk, etc --- what should one focus on for a
first cut?
Another related question is to decide on the optimal amount of insurance
both at the unit level and the enterprise level, and relate the decision to
get insurance to the cost/benefit of insurance.

Subject: Introduction to the Rochester Partnership
Dear Vincent,
With respect to you wanting to know more about our company here is
some background.
Rochester was formed in 1982 to focus on the executive search for
senior individuals within Investment Banking and Commodity markets. The
operation is based in London with a global network of associates. Business
is primarily generated in Europe with an ever increasing demand from both
Asia and the United States.
More specifically with respect to Enron, Rochester has been involved
in the Energy markets since the opening of the International Petroleum
Exchange in London. In the early 1990's, with the advent of UK deregulation,
Rochester was placing electricity traders. As always, with politicians
changing their minds, deregulation did not happen and market interest in
Energy and Power declined.
Now that Europe is to deregulate a number of trading houses,
investment banks and the utilities have expressed a strong interest in
building their market presence. Subsequently we are working on a number of
projects that not only require traders but also complete staffing solutions.
This includes:
1.) Board level directors
2.) Asset management
3.) Corporate finance
4.) Trading:
- Vanilla ( financial and physical ) instruments
- OTC derivatives ( Credit / Equity )
- Options
- Structured products
5.) Relationship management
6.) Management consulting
7.) Corporate lawyers
Whilst power and energy are growth areas in themselves emissions and
weather derivatives are rapidly becoming a great source of interest. For
your guide a former employee of Rochester is now heading up the emissions
marketing group at OM here in London.
Rochester has a strong track record, and through repeat and referral
business, is rapidly establishing itself as a leader in this new and
exciting global market.
Should you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to
contact us here in London. I look forward to speaking with you again and
promoting an understanding of mutuality between our two organisations.
With kind regards

Joe,
I have written to Pal Quilkey to invite Christian Werner to Houston
for a week to discuss how much of his research we can use.

Subject:
Vince,
I have inquired into Christian's climate models. It seems to me like a long
term project. Chiristian says that his model might be able to do better than
the Australian Met given that they ignore some of the variables he uses and
that they are an "old boy's network" resistant to new developments, but I
don't think the same can be said of most other weather services. As far as
the NWS goes, they run their model on a Cray, they have several very talented
PhD's working on it full-time, and even then, they can only get a dozen or
so runs per night. In other words, it's a huge system. Replicating something
even close to that will not be an easy task.
That being said, I think there are related applications that we could look
into. Since I've already promised the RAC group and the weather desk's PJM
traders to put together a Vector AutoRegressive model of daily temperatures,
I think it makes sense to see if something better than a VAR model can be put
together, perhaps a very stripped down version of the kind of model Christian
has. What I have in mind is something that would give us say, up to several
dozens of "possible" temperature forecasts every morning, which would be
calculated using actual climate models (as opposed to time series models). I
would not use this as a forecasting tool (the NWS model results would make a
far better "best guess"), but our ensemble could still be used to provide a
distribution of temperature scenarios. This ensemble would have several uses:
1) we could price the book for the ensemble of runs and thereby obtain a
more realistic daily V@R for the Weather Book (and eventually interface that
with the power desk's V@R calculations)
2) we could use the ensemble of forecasts to relate temperature forecasts to
week-ahead CDD and HDD distributions (for use in our demand swaps)
3) if Freese-Notis were to give us one of their qualitative forecasts,
e.g., "expect the trough to recede" we could sort through the different Monte
Carlo scenarions, find one in which the trough in question is receding, and
use corresponding output statistics to download the actual temperatures
corresponding to that scenario. Up till now, we haven't found a good way of
getting a numerical fix on what different forecasts actually mean
temperature-wise
4) we could use the associated visualization routines that come with such
models to get animations of the evolution of historical weather patterns. The
traders could use these in order to look for historical periods which roughly
match current weather conditions and get an idea of what could happen;
although these meteorological models would not be good for simulating
month-ahead or season-ahead weather (trust me on this) we could still use the
visualization technology to do to analogous seasonal animations.
Just today, I've spoken with Dr. Jacobsen of Stanford University, who has
written one of the more recent textbooks on climate forecasting , and who
worked with UCLA's general circulation model. He says that getting a
simplified version of MM5 (which is itself a simplified, limited-area version
of the GCM models that NWS, COLA, and UCLA use) would take several months to
implement, assuming the people involved are already well versed in the
technology. Also, I have contacted AER, a Massachusetts- based weather
consulting firm, and they tell me that they have a MM5 model running daily
(only one run per night), and also some smaller PC models up and running.
They are of course willing to work with us for a fee. Their MM5 version runs
on a $200,000 parallel processor.
I am open to your suggestions (or objections as the case may be). I'm not
sure how the costs would be apportioned given that this would benefit all of
Enron, and not just the weather desk.
I am scheduled to go to Boston next week anyway, and would like to use the
opportunity to visit with AER. I will of course coordinate any projects with
Christian (if we get something like this up and running it will be more
likely that he can get the computing power he needs to run his own Australian
model).

Subject: Job application
Dear Dr. Kaminski,
I currently hold a post-doctorate position in the Mathematics
Department at the University of Texas at Austin (with a Ph.D.
in theoretical physics). Although my position here is renewable
until summer 2001, I would like to move on to a more dynamic field
where I can still use my analytical skills and mathematical knowledge.
Since attending a series of lectures on mathematical finance given
by Dr. Marc Potters last summer I started studying the subject on my
own and found it intriguing and challenging.
I am interested in a position in your group (RAC) at Enron.
Last fall in a Career seminar at UT you mentioned that people who are
interested can send you their resume. If this is still relevant, please
find below my resume (in Word 97 and text formats).
Thank you for your time.

Mr. Huang,
We would be happy to demonstrate the features and functionality of the
WeatherDelta tool set for your team at Enron. Early next week (Tuesday or
Wednesday) are both possible, as well as early the following week. The
demonstration can take 90 minutes or more, depending on the number of
questions and the level of detail.
Ideally, you could provide us with some of your data and we could
demonstrate how to value a full-requirements contract to service that
particular load. To do this we will need one or more years of hourly
consumption data, and the general location of the load. Ideal data formats
are csv files of either 365 rows x 25 columns (date,hr1,hr2..) or 8760 rows
x 3 columns (date,hr,load). In lieu of using your data, we will provide
sample load data.
Please feel free to call me and we can discuss schedules and the particulars
of the product overview and demonstration.
Thank you for your interest,
Michael J. Denton

I shall fax you this morning two additional resumes I have in hard copy.
In the case of Paulo Rocha we don't have a formal

Subject: D-G Energy
Hello Vince,
I didn't know if that was your correct e-mail address listed below on
receiving from outside the company, so I thought I would forward this with a
couple of comments.
She states below that she has enclosed a proposal, however, the only pricing
I really see is in the Software License Agreement, Article 2, which states
that the license fee is $100,000 and lists out when you must pay for it. It
then states in Article 3 that the fees are set forth in Appendix 1, but there
are no prices in Appendix 1.
I have reviewed the actual terms and conditions to the license and am going
to prepare it as we usually do to send to Mark Holsworth for review. In the
meantime, do you want me to go back to Ms. Geman and ask her for more
detailed pricing information or do you have what you need? Also, in Appendix
2, you will need to list the number of sites and workstations you want to
have.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Karla

Dear Ms. Kaminsky:
As I just mentioned on your voicemail, Infocast is going to host a Managing
Summer Price Volatility course, January 30 - February 1, 2001 in Houston.
The course will focus on the various tools at hand to manage summer price
and load volatility. Our target audience for this event will primarily be
risk managers and managers in bulk power sales & purchase (our secondary
target audience is energy traders).
Attached you will find a draft program agenda for your review. Please let
me know if you or someone else at Enron is interested in presenting at this
event. In particular, we are looking for someone to talk about weather
derivatives.
I appreciate you taking the time to review the conference schedule and I
hope that I will have an opportunity to talk to you. Unfortunately, I am
running behind schedule in finalizing this program. I will call tomorrow to
see what your feedback is. If you have any questions or suggestions, please

Amy,
I think that Rick Causey wants simply to obtain more information to make a
reasonable decision.
We should cancel the meeting for the time being and let Rick obtain
clarification of some issues from AA. I would agree that AA came up with a
rather
vague concept of what they want to accomplish.
Vince
To: Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT
cc:
Subject: MIT/AA Lab- next meeting
Vince: Can you shed any light on this? I'm confused (really confused)....
Do you think this means the decision to go ahead/not is going to be made only
by Kean, Buy and Koening? And
Do you think this means that we shouldn't meet on Thurs?
Personally, I think Enron really needs to meet on Thurs to buckle down and
start developing some idea of needs/wants with regard to the outcomes of the
Lab.
From a practical perspective, if we can't get what we want from this whole
thing, Rick's issue of "where AA is going with this" is really a mute point,
isn't it? So a working meeting might really be worth the effort.
Would appreciate your insight and advice.
Thanks.

Subject:Re: Valuation
Steve,
Please, let me know when you come back.
I have detected a tendency to implement different
approaches to valuation in the past.
To some extent, it reflects the absence of formal
rules for sign-off on the valuation techniques
which, in turn, reflects, the turf wars and the desire by the
originators to control the outcomes.

Vince,
I'd like an opportunity to talk to you about valuation.
I'm hearing confusing messages about the way that the UK IT team and the UK
traders get their Valuation code aparently signed off by Research, while
here... You provide it for our guys to wrap up.
We have now a situation where the UK team are using a home grown Valuation
piece called DOVE, where results differ from those of the equivalent USA
portcalc.
I need to break through the pride barriers and the "not built here"
syndrome, and try to do the right thing, but I don't beleive I can do that
without you guidance.
I'm scared that if we diverge too much we will never work globally on these
systems.

"Exotic Options for Interruptible Electricity Supply Contracts" (February
2000)
PWP-071 by Rajnish Kamat and Shmuel S. Oren.
This paper presents the design and pricing of financial contracts for the
supply and procurement of interruptible electricity service. The proposed
contracts consist of bundling simple forwards with exotic call options that
have two exercise points with different strike prices. Such options allow
hedging and valuation of supply curtailment risk while explicitly
accounting for the notification lead time before curtailment.
The proposed instruments are priced under the traditional GBM price process
assumption and under the more realistic assumption of a mean reverting
price process with jump diffusion. The latter results employ state of the
art Fourier transforms techniques.

In another dimension, I want to make sure that people like Paulo get enough

Sorry if you get this impression. The real reason is that I treat

I agree with you, however, that the lunch meetings are not exclusively

Vince and Stinson,
The valuation group has accomplished a lot during last six months. The
number of
projects we are working on is keeping increasing. However, when comes to the
staff meeting (Thursday lunch meeting), we are often left out for updating
our projects.
This makes me feel that what we are doing is no longer interesting or worth
mentioning.
I am hoping that we can get more exposure, despite we are still in the old
economy.

Celeste,
Greetings.
As you may recall, I am the Director of the Univ. of Texas Center for
Energy Finance (CEFER). I would like at this time to initiate planning for
your colleague Vince Kaminski's annual presentation to the UT Foundations
of Energy Finance class which I will be presenting as usual the first half
of the Fall Semester.
Thus, to begin, I wonder whether either the above is your current e-mail
account, and, with the departure of Meryl Barnett (with whom I believe we
coordinated this in the past), whether this is an issue within your scope.
With respect to this reception, I appreciate that there may be other Enron
receptions scheduled for this Fall. However, if you so choose, I would
like to afford you the opportunity of scheduling an Enron reception
following Vince's presentation. If you would indeed like to do so, I
suggest we coordinate with Vince the date for the presentation/reception.
Sincerely,
Ehud

Vince & Stinson,
I was given your names by Lynn Dunphy in recruiting and am taking the liberty
of forwarding you the attached CV. Steve Roeder is a former collegiate
swimmer and currently coach of the master's swimming program in The Woodlands
(my wife is president of the program). He is also currently employed at Air
Liquide USA (or one of its subsidiaries) over in the Galleria area. As a
consequence of Air Liquide's pending merger with BOC, Steve believes that
there will be significant personnel reductions sometime during 2000 and is
taking action now to try to locate his next professional challenge.
Lynn suggested there might be a fit with your group and I would be grateful
if you could have a look and let me know whether you might be interested.
Alternatively, if you don't see a fit (or are adequately staffed at the
moment), I would be grateful for any suggestions you might have as to whom I
might contact internally on Steve's behalf.
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for taking the time to talk last evening.? I really appreciated it.?
(By the way, how is life in the White House now that you are living with a
President?? Is Air Force One all that it is cracked up to be?)
Please see the attached document.? By reading between the lines, hopefully
one can see that, whereas my training has been highly technical, my desire to
transform my career into the business side of a high-technology application
is set in this good foundation (rather than limited by it).
Thanks again for your support.

Please include Ram Vittal to the summer internship list, if you have not
already done so.
According to my count, that make a total of 8 students from the Enron Tiger
Team who have a desire to work with Enron.
Thanks,

Andy,
Sounds good. One comment: Vasant is swamped with work coordinating
several high profile projects.
Bob is very productive and thorough and will get a lot of support
internally from other members of the group: this contribution
may not be directly visible but it will be still very important.
We appreciate your hands-on involvement. It's always the most
important condition of a successful project to have direct and frequent
interaction
with the customer. Look fwd to working on this project.

Subject: Trading Algorithms
Guys,
Here is what I took away from our meeting:
1). Research will continue working on custom reporting off of EnronOnline
data.
2). Research will continue working on market analysis off of EnronOnline data
3). Research will a contribute a resource to the Trading Algorithm effort,
presumably one at this point in time. I would prefer it to be Vasant but I am
flexible.The Trading Algorithm group will be run by the EnronOnline team with
its product reviewed by Research. It is my belief that projects like this
require a firm commercial hand in their infancy to make sure they stay on the
right track.
If this presents a problem for anyone please let me know so that we can
discuss.
Thanks,
Andy

I have attached the general design we are proposing for the Enron Seminar

couple type-o's but this is the idea. If you like it, we will put an order

I'll put out an announcement on the seminar schedule shortly. So far the
