Its not not the same. Of course, without party-membership nobody gets access to capital, economic opportunity or political offices. Party membership is, by the way, a privililege. One doesn't just simply join China's CP. You need to know someone important who can sponsor you in, be from the...

Seems like OP is dyslexic. Not the top 70 people in chinese politics, but the top 70 richest party members have a combined 90 bil net worth. Most of them dont have a political office. I can name five dem members who top that, and with GOP its even easier. That is not to say that China isn't a...

There is still FX + rates risk if you have customer liabilities in ccy A but hold it cash in ccy B ? Ofc its a punt.

So basically IB put on a FX punt with customer cash and got fined for it ?

Cyprus got an extraordinary large EU bailout contribution on a per capita basis. I think you are seeing things here.

I don't think there is that much of a difference. Its everywhere pretty much the same guys making markets. I chose lmax because i can trade smaller than 250k if i want to, and i like the order matching/firm quotes - as opposed to the last look/indicative quotes at the others. And i got an...

Its starting at $25/m and going down according to volume-tiers. They only publish realtime last trade size on Reuters and their fix datafeed. They have to do that (post-trade transparency rules according to mtf regulation). They are still small, so they dont advertise it on the website...

You can have a look at Lmax exchange. Minimums are not as steep as with EBS and the other big venues. There is no last look, its a straight up central limit order book, with price/time priority order matching. The publish their marketdata on their website, so you can judge for yourself if...

Its not going to happen, but it would be a just war for once. I would assume it would be comparably cheap too, a few decapitation strikes and mission accomplished. The whole thing would fall apart rather quickly. Worst case, Seoul would get wasted with these short range missiles they have a...

I don't know what the liberals in the USA are all about, but in Germany liberals are no left-wingers, quite the opposite. They traditionally promote free markets, light-touch regulation, economy-friendly policies and low taxation. Hence they do not support a FTT. Just because they do also...

Because the banks need cash NOW and if the cypriot state would have bailed out the banks the country it self would not be sustainable debt-wise, it cannot even pay the bond matureing in June by it self. Tthe banking sector is just way too big (8x GDP) for a solution like that. Quite similar to...

And who would that be exactly?

Someone has to. There aren't that many options. You could go for hard default, or go after depositors, or for cypriot bond holders. Choose your poison.

A depositor bail-in for deposits >100K is fine with me. They took the risk to deposit into a overblown, weak and overlevered banking-system and lost. Sounds more 'capitalist' to me than accumulating all the debt on the sovereign level. Heaven forbid people have to start thinking about which...

FX is not a derivate market..

Here is the commission's Q&A from todays presser: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-13-98_en.htm The full text of the proposal is not yet released. This proposal, or what will be left of it, after council negotiations, will have to be implemented by the 11 participating national...
