It looks like most of the risk from forced unwinds in futures contracts is behind us, though many positions will be still be liquidated this week in response to margin hikes by brokers.

Re: MFG, it looks like there will be an initial 60% payout of cash balances to be announced in the coming week. The form will be posted to the trustee's website. For anyone that may have posted securities as margin or have any specific property at MFG, forms were posted this morning under "Notices" to transfer them.

These requests are being processed first come first serve, so best to get them in ASAP. Based on the lethargy of the trustee, my opinion is that it will take many months if not years to recover any additional funds after these initial payouts and transfers.
