Look at every show on television; it's derivative of another show that came before it. It was only a matter of time. So all you 'Mentalist' fans, it's okay to like the show, but don't be in denial of where it came from. Friday nights, U.S.A., basic cable-style baby.

With the derivatives market larger than ever, we need way more regulation of Wall Street, not less.

Adam McKay

To me, the Ennio Morricone kind of sound is a derivative of soul music.

Adrian Younge

I wrote three mysteries and then a contemporary spy novel that was unbelievably derivative - completely based on 'The Conversation,' the movie with Gene Hackman. Amazingly, the character in the book looks exactly like... Gene Hackman.

Hedge funds try to produce above-average investment returns using tactics ranging from traditional stock-picking to complex derivative and arbitrage plays. High minimum investments, redemption restrictions and aggressive strategies make them suitable mainly for more sophisticated and well-heeled investors.

Alex Berenson

Since I was not able wholly to subscribe to any one set of beliefs advanced by any 'guru' I had to fall back on my own, however derivative.

Anthony Storr

A.I.G. was even larger than Lehman, with a substantial presence in derivatives and debt markets, as well as in insurance markets.

Ben Bernanke

I am attracted to anything that does not feel derivative.

Bennett Miller

I spent my whole career thinking about risk, markets, infrastructure, and regulation. I had seen the financial crisis unfold, and I had seen the credit derivatives market get operationally ahead of itself, which resulted in systemic risk counterparty exposures. I began to believe that distributed ledgers had the capability to tackle that problem.

I think the most important thing to understand about credit derivatives and their use at JPMorgan is they served a number of different purposes. First and foremost, they were a tool which initially was seen as being useful in managing the bank's own risk management challenges.

Blythe Masters

In bypassing barriers between different classes, maturities, rating categories, debt seniority levels and so on, credit derivatives are creating enormous opportunities to exploit and profit from associated discontinuities in the pricing of credit risk.

Blythe Masters

I have a quantitative background, but really, derivatives appealed to me because they require so much creativity.

Blythe Masters

A credit derivative, at its core, is actually a very simple concept... The simplest way to think of a credit derivative is it is analogous to insurance against the risk of a credit default by your counterparty, your business counterpart.

Blythe Masters

The credit derivative market would never have evolved but for the preexistence of the derivative markets because so much of the technology was borrowed.

Blythe Masters

If you aren't going to make your revenue plan, it's unlikely you'll make your EBITDA or Net Income plan. You don't even have to get complicated and look at Gross Margin or more derivative metrics - if you are off in Q1 and have any sort of growth expectations , you are going to miss for the year.

Brad Feld

Actually, I take it as a compliment. Diva is a derivative of divine. That's quite a title to carry around.

Calista Flockhart

The good thing about a dealer's derivatives portfolio is that it is marked to market.

Carol Loomis

When they are employed wisely, derivatives make the world simpler because they give their buyers an ability to manage and transfer risk.

Carol Loomis

The options and futures traded on exchanges are derivatives contracts.

Every regulatory speech on derivatives takes a bow to their hedging 'benefits.' Less publicly, regulators pay their respects to derivative profits, a blessed relief from the banks' troubled loans to less-developed countries, highly leveraged companies, and real estate swingers.
