    "Frist glance would appear a strong result."

    While the market will probably agree with you, not sure I share that "strong result" characterisation:

    The high-quality, and premium P/E, Annuity-type businesses - the one's that form the mainstay of MQG's valuation - went backwards; it was the volatile, low P/E , Trading type that out-performed due to the extraordinary volatility in energy markets.

    I think its an OK result under the circumstances, but going forward they aren't going to have the free kick of selling derivative products into once-a-decade global oil and gas price volatility.
