Joshua M Brown at the reformed broker: Garbage time, also known as "junk
time", is a term used to refer to the period at the end of a timed
sporting event that has become a blowout when the outcome of the game has
already been decided, and the coaches of one or both teams will decide to
replace their best players with substitutes.This serves to give those
substitutes playing time experience in an actual game situation, as well as to
protect the best players from the possibility of injury. Garbage time owes its name to the fact that
that period in a game is frequently marked by a significant drop in the quality
of game play.
1. Anyone who's had a good-to-great year is playing light,
their books are closed and the track record is not being put at risk. Profits
and losses at these same desks have likely already been harvested as well. So,
in general, outsized trades are only being put on for window-dressing,
tape-painting or other non-traditional reasons. Basically, this means not to
make too much of what you're seeing, stop chasing cars like a cartoon dog with
its tongue hanging out.
2. Garbage Time is a
total "amateur hour." Buysiders like myself (especially those who've
been on the sell side) know better than to come into this week with any real
orders of consequence. The kid who's been left behind to execute trades while
the Big Dogs are in Turquoise is probably not your best bet, lol….
