Derivatives Clearinghouses Are No Magic Bullet. Really ?

Derivatives Clearinghouses Are No Magic Bullet. Really? but not for the reason this guy gives...and he is a professor at some big Ivy league School!

I read this article with a certain sense of bemusement at the level of ignorance the author therein demonstrated. He seems to have no understanding of issues of 2-timing, N-timing in bilateral netting agreements. The issues he worries about would be addresses in centralized or interconnected hierarchical clearing system as explained in my knol and powerpoint/ youtube presentation
