The future of trading became clearer yesterday as Nasdaq and AWS announced a partnership to move Nasdaq's markets into the cloud and transform data centers into AWS hubs. This announcement follows the recent one from CME Group that it had struck a deal with Google for a 10-year partnership that accelerates the CME's move to the cloud and also involves Google investing $1 billion in the exchange giant.
The 2022 Options Industry Conference registration is open for a return to the in-person confab to be held on May 10-12, 2022 at La Cantera Resort & Spa in San Antonio, Texas.
After an initial issue with the registration system yesterday, I have been assured the issues are resolved and the portal is open and available for people to register.
Don't forget to register for the NFA and NIBA joint webinar on December 7 at 3:40 PM CT titled "Supervision in a Hybrid Environment."
Also, the NFA website reports that "due to updates to the Online Registration System (ORS), ORS will be unavailable from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. CT on Saturday, December 4, 2021. See Notice I-21-37 for more information." And, NFA said, "due to updates to the Online Registration System (ORS), ORS will be unavailable from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. CT on Saturday, December 4, 2021. See Notice I-21-37 for more information."
The Financial Markets Authority of New Zealand has issued an alert for a website that includes NYSE in its URL. The FMA is concerned that the operators of the website https://nyse.shop/dist/#/ ('NYSE') may be operating a scam. The FMA said they have reports from investors that they are unable to withdraw their investments.
The FMA regulates New Zealand's financial markets, and their role includes:
- Monitor the industry to ensure it complies with the law and treats customers fairly.
- Enforce the law, investigating misconduct and prosecuting companies and individuals for breaches.
- Provide independent information to help consumers make good investment and financial decisions.
- Provide information and guidance to set expectations for how industry should treat customers fairly and comply with the law.
- License firms and professionals to provide certain financial products and services.
I like the way the FMA defines their role and that fairness to customers is in the first line.
Have a great day and stay safe and treat people the same way you want to be treated: with respect, equality and justice.~JJL

London is becoming the Jurassic Park of stock exchanges; UK is falling behind as fund managers obsess on dividends over growth
Paul Marshall - FT
The UK stock market is becoming a global backwater as US and Chinese markets forge ahead. It has largely failed to take part in the global rally that began in 2015. Of course, both the US and Chinese stock markets benefit from more dynamic and expansive hinterlands, with leadership in so many of the new industries that are driving stock market performance, from fintech, renewables and mobility, to medtech, agritech and artificial intelligence. But beyond these natural advantages, the US in particular is now increasingly attracting companies from all over the world, including the UK, to list on its exchanges.

As Banks Face Omicron Risk, Their Size Could Become a Handicap; Bigger balance sheets could reduce lenders' flexibility to deliver for shareholders during another bout of Covid-19-related volatility
Telis Demos - WSJ
Bank stocks have proven resilient during the pandemic. But as uncertainty over the Omicron Covid-19 variant coincides with a changing regulatory picture, that resilience is being tested anew. Big lenders were among the hardest-hit stocks in the market's intense reaction to the Omicron variant last week, with S&P 500 banks dropping nearly 4% on Friday, much more than the overall index. In some respects, this doesn't track: Things that hurt bank stocks as the pandemic and lockdowns gathered momentum last year included the suspension of buybacks, a plunge in rates and a surge of credit concern.

The Meme Stock; At the start of the year, traders added more than $150 billion to the market cap of GameStop, AMC, and 48 other businesses, stocks that Robinhood put on a restricted trading list because they're volatile (and can be used as a proxy for the craze).
Matthew Levine - Bloomberg
What makes a stock valuable? In the olden days, the way stocks worked was that you gave some money to a corporation, which used the money to build a railroad and paid you a dividend as your reward. Maybe if times were good, the dividend would go up, and if times were bad, it would get cut, but if you bought the blue-chip stocks of good steam railroads, you expected to get your dividend. And then you could apply some straightforward math to figure out the present value of that perpetual stream of dividends, and that's what you'd pay for the stock.

Investors Are Piling Into Crypto Startups—Just Not in China
Lizette Chapman - Bloomberg
For the first time in four years, venture investors are backing more crypto and blockchain startups in the U.S. than they are in Asia—a sign that China's crackdown on alternative currencies has chilled the country's upstart industry. Though the country was once a crypto capital, China's new restrictions on tech companies have driven down the number of cryptocurrency and blockchain startups getting funding, according to year-to-date data collected by research firm CB Insights. Beijing forbid crypto mining and banking operations this spring and then banned all transactions in September, forcing many founders to shutter operations or relocate.

Michael Sapir, Bitcoin's ETF Front-Runner; ProShares introduced the first one in October, and investors piled more than $1 billion into it in two days, the fastest that any exchange-traded fund has reached the milestone.

But regulators had too many concerns about volatility, price manipulation, and liquidity to bless it, even as similar products traded in Europe and Canada in ensuing years.

KASULO, Democratic Republic of Congo — A man in a pinstripe suit with a red pocket square walked around the edge of a giant pit one April afternoon where hundreds of workers often toil in flip-flops, burrowing deep into the ground with shovels and pickaxes. His polished leather shoes crunched on dust the miners had spilled from nylon bags stuffed with cobalt-laden rocks.

China's Latest Covid Outbreak Worsens Even as It Avoids Omicron
Bloomberg News
China reported 91 new local infections of Covid-19 in Inner Mongolia on Wednesday, as an outbreak in a border town continued to pick up steam. While most of the world is now focused on the potential damage from the novel omicron variant that was identified last week in southern Africa, China remains dedicated to the increasingly difficult task of containing the virus and restoring its Covid Zero status. It has been more than six weeks since there were no local daily infections reported.

They didn't resolve the biggest disagreement, however: whether the accord should be a legally-binding treaty.

Judge Temporarily Blocks Biden Vaccine Mandate; A ruling issued in Louisiana questions constitutionality of administration's requirement
Laura Kusisto - WSJ
A federal judge issued a temporary nationwide block against a Biden administration mandate that millions of healthcare workers get vaccinated against Covid-19 starting next week. In a ruling issued Tuesday in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, Judge Terry Doughty said there was no question that mandating a vaccine for healthcare workers at facilities participating in Medicare and Medicaid is something that should be done by Congress and not by a government agency. Even then the judge said it was unclear whether such a mandate would be constitutional.

Consumers know that companies track their internet interactions, and they can often identify when it's happening. According to Pew Research, 83 percent of consumers frequently or occasionally saw ads that appeared to be targeted based on their browsing history. While some customers are demanding better data privacy protections, organizations are finding out the hard way that increased data privacy forces a tradeoff with cybersecurity.

Will Feuer - Bloomberg
Twitter's new boss has made his first move. The social-media giant — under the leadership of new CEO Parag Agrawal — announced Tuesday that it is revising its privacy policy to block the sharing of photos and videos of people without their consent.

In fact, he'd be happy if everyone downloaded a copy of "Everydays: the First 5000 Days."

UK shelves proposals to raise capital gains tax rates and cut allowance; Treasury also rejects ideas from Office of Tax Simplification to reform inheritance tax

The UK has shelved proposals to raise capital gains tax rates to align them with income tax and slash the levy's annual allowance, moves that would have hit the wealthy. In the past year, the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS), a statutory body, has published two reports into CGT at the behest of chancellor Rishi Sunak and concluded that the government should consider reforming it.

Capitalism vs. Liberty; All that we liberals cherish—socially, economically, and politically—is being undermined by toxic capitalism. What might lie beyond it, and how might we get there?
Robert Kuttner - The American Prospect
All of my adult life, I've considered myself a left-liberal, tending toward social democrat. Much of that sensibility reflects the era of my early adulthood, a time when reformed capitalism seemed plausible and practical. The New Deal had created a fundamental shift of power and ideology. Free-market ideologues and Wall Street moguls were discredited and disgraced by the Great Crash. Financial markets were tightly regulated. Labor unions were empowered. Government demonstrated the value of public investment and social insurance. The mixed economy had arrived, seemingly for keeps, well defended by grateful voters.

It may seem premature to be thinking about September 2022, the point the final phase of the initial margin (IM) rules for non-cleared derivatives will come into effect. It's not. Phase five in September this year underlined the challenges in-scope firms will face and the need to start preparing early, particularly when it comes to custodian onboarding. Fortunately, the recent publication of key custodial documents on the ISDA Create online negotiation platform points to a path forward that will make the compliance process simpler and more efficient and save phase-six firms time...

Fed chair says could wrap up purchases a few months earlier
Says it's time to retire word 'transitory' for price increases
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said officials should weigh removing pandemic support at a faster pace and he retired the word "transitory" to describe stubbornly high inflation, though a new Covid-19 strain remains a risk.
His comments Tuesday before the Senate Banking Committee, where both Democrats and Republicans expressed concerns about high prices, were taken as a hawkish pivot by financial markets that could deliver sooner-than-expected increases in interest rates next year.

Jim Wyss - Bloomberg
Unlike cryptocurrencies, which are valued for their anonymity and independence from monetary authorities, central bank digital currencies, or CBDCs, are digital fiat—the sand dollar is simply the Bahamian dollar, exchangeable online. They also allow traditional payment service providers, which usually transact in proprietary digital tokens, to trade in a common currency, making various Bahamian PSPs interoperable.

Alice Callahan - NY Times
Like opening the blinds and stepping into the shower, a cup of coffee gets people moving in the morning — in more ways than one. This satisfying brew revs energy levels with a dose of caffeine and, for many people, quickly and reliably jump-starts gut activity and an urgent need to poop. But given coffee's popularity, it's surprising that we know so little about how it affects the gastrointestinal tract, said Dr. Robert Martindale, a professor of surgery and the medical director for hospital nutrition services at Oregon Health and Science University.
