Breakthrough in U.S.-China Trade Negotiations at Golden Networking’s China Happy Hour New York City

July 12, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

China Happy Hour New York City (www.chinahappyhour.com), Every 4th Tuesday, Brings Together Chinese Business Leaders for Evenings of Fast-paced Networking and Cocktails in Midtown Manhattan.

New York City, NY, USA (July 12, 2013) — There is often a lot of effervescence that comes out of diplomatic meetings, says The Wall Street Journal’s John Bussey. And so it was today Thursday, when the U.S. announced a “breakthrough” in trade talks with China-the same negotiations that, over many years, have produced lots of promises and little progress. What happened was that the two sides agreed to continue negotiating a so-called bilateral investment treaty, or BIT, but under a new model treaty announced last year that has additional market-opening requirements.

Among the reasons China wants a treaty is that it has very big investment ambitions in the U.S. Some of its investments have been blocked by U.S. national security concerns, and for other reasons. An investment treaty would give China a lot more clarity about the rules of the road, give it a way to appeal for compensation if a deal is blocked, and provide China something of an overall seal of approval. Some Chinese leaders also want to use a trade deal to force additional economic reform at home.

The U.S. wants a treaty because companies-from oil drillers to bankers-still don’t have the market access China promised when it signed previous trade pacts, notably when it entered the WTO. What do Chinese business executives and journalists want in New York City? They all just want to attend Golden Networking’s China Happy Hour (http://www.ChinaHappyHour.com), the best China networking in the Big Apple, to be held Tuesday July 23rd, 6PM.

Companies represented in past editions of Golden Networking’s Happy Hour include Alaris Trading Partners, Andrews Securities, Apollo Advisors, Atlantic Advisory Group, Avatar, Blackstone, Capital Advisors, Citadel, Citi, CNBC, Comscient, Credit Suisse, DE Shaw, Deutsche Bank, Duane Morris, Eagle View Asset Management, Falcon Technology Systems, General Atlantic, GETCO, Goldman Sachs, Greyfields, IBM, Infinium Capital, KKR, Lightspeed, Lime Brokerage, Mahogany Partners, MNG Capital, Monolith Capital Trading Partners, Morgan Stanley, MSF Capital Advisors, Nirvana Capital, Nobilis Capital, OneMarketData, OneTick, Providence, RBS, SBS Securities, Silver Lake, The Carlyle Group, Twin Capital Management, UBS, among others.

How High Is High-Frequency Trading at Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City, World Financial Center

July 12, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

Golden Networking brings Tech2Trade Expo 2013 (www.Tech2TradeExpo.com), World’s Most Influential Alternative Investments Conference Series, including High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013, “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges,” New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt (www.High-Frequency-Trading-Conference.com).

New York City, NY, USA (July 12, 2013) — PBS News Hour just reviewed high-frequency trading, which represents more than half of all transactions of American stocks these days; but just how fast is high-frequency? So fast, it turns out, that data companies now provide financial data to their most premium subscribers early — as little as two milliseconds early in the case of a $20,000-per-month service the Nasdaq and Chicago Mercantile Exchange debuted in May using microwave networks. That time difference is enough to gain quite the financial advantage.

One key data provider, Thomson Reuters, announced this week it was suspending its 9:54:58 a.m. release of the University of Michigan’s consumer confidence data to about a dozen premium subscribers (not to be confused with those regular money management customers who pay to receive the data at 9:55 a.m., a measly five minutes before the University of Michigan posts the consumer confidence index online) while New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman investigates the practice.

Thomson Reuters maintains that their 9:54:58 a.m. release, for which some clients pay more than $6,000 a month, does not violate federal insider trading laws since they disclose the tiered pricing to all customers.

So how and why do traders capitalize on those all-important two seconds? That is a topic of discussion at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 New York City, July 30th, as part of Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City (http://www.Tech2TradeExpo.com), at the World Financial Center.

Golden Networking’s High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 will examine the speed trading industry from various angles, in an opened and unbiased environment highly conducive to networking. Topics to be discussed at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 will include:

– Low Latency: How can Ultra-Low Latency be Achieved for High-Frequency Trading?
– Emerging Markets: How will Emerging Markets from Brazil to China Affect the Scope of High-frequency Trading?
– Robotic Markets: As High-frequency Trading Embraces Robotic Markets Worldwide, How Will Participants be Able to Find new Opportunities to Sustain Alpha Creation?
– Regulatory Impact: With High-frequency Trading in the Spotlight, how will New Regulations Change the Industry?
– The Future of HFT: How will High-frequency Trading Evolve in Ever-changing Technology and Regulatory Environments?

Tech2Trade Expo 2013, to be held in New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt, is the world’s most influential alternative investments forum for the hedge fund, high-frequency trading and derivatives communities.

Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City to Discuss HFT not Driving Investors from the Stock Market

July 12, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

New York City, NY, USA (July 12, 2013) — For a long time, only a tiny group of folks like me cared about the structures through which investors’ orders to buy and sell stocks and other financial instruments were actually traded. Lately, that has changed, as it will be noted at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 New York City, July 30th, as part of Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City (http://www.Tech2TradeExpo.com).

According to a Financial Times op-ed, a few years ago, during the peak of the financial crisis, the rest of the world started waking up to what my fellow geeks and I had long known: US equity market structure had undergone a vast, long-term transformation – from a simple, mostly manual system to an extraordinarily complex, highly automated one – and that this metamorphosis was spreading to other markets globally.

Once relegated to obscure trade journals and dry industry conferences, market structure is now front-page news. And that coverage tends to focus on episodes in which technology fails: the 2010 “flash crash” in US markets and, in 2012, the aborted initial public offering of exchange company BATS Global Markets, systems troubles that affected the Facebook IPO and a software glitch at Knight Capital Group.

News stories, blogs and social media posts refer ominously to such incidents and, generally, to high-frequency trading, as seriously damaging investor confidence. The average reader could be forgiven for thinking that worries over HFT and modern market structure are driving mom-and-pop investors from the stock market in droves, like so many terrified villagers in a Godzilla film.

Justin Schack, managing director and partner at Rosenblatt Securities in New York, agrees that today’s structure may not be pretty, and elements of it surely need fixing, but it wound up delivering better outcomes for end investors than what it replaced. Transaction cost data from multiple vendors show that institutional investors can implement ideas far more cheaply today than before the transformation. This includes not just exchange fees and broker commissions, but also the price impact of large trades hitting the market. New, fundamental changes to market-structure regulation could trigger another transformative cycle, with no guarantee that investor outcomes would improve in the end.

The Rise of the Machines at Tech2Trade Expo 2013’s High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 New York

July 12, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

New York City, NY, USA (July 12, 2013) — In the 17th century, it is said that the Rothschilds were able to balance stock markets in their favor by flying carrier pigeons to relay information before their peers. Today’s equivalent is high-frequency trading, the main topic of discussion at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 New York City, July 30th, as part of Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City (http://www.Tech2TradeExpo.com).

According to Public Service Europe, HFT creates extreme market volatility and has even resulted in a ‘flash crash’. On May 6, 2010, US index the Dow Jones plunged 1,000 points – or 9 per cent of its total – only to recover those losses within minutes. This shock was a direct result of HFT. And the sequence of events was triggered by a single sale of $4.1bn in futures contracts by a mutual, in an aggressive attempt to hedge its investment position. This was quickly magnified by HFTs, creating a snowball effect.

Not only that, the limited uses for such a trading device are simply to pump up pension funds or to create greater wealth for the super-rich. All this without truly investing in a productive asset – a company that might make a difference to wider society. Any integrity markets might have once had now lies in tatters.

At this precise moment, the world of HFT is analogous to a frontier town. Only this time, it is not humans displaying wild west-style behavior but the machines we have created. The flash crash of 2010 was a wake-up call. However, it seems the regulators are still asleep and we all know where that leads – circa the 2008 global economic crisis we are still coming to terms with today. Perhaps, carrier pigeons were not such a bad idea after all.

Disordered Eating Behaviors, Intentional and Unintentional, Can Heighten Women’s Risk for Fertility Challenges

July 12, 2013 straightlinepr Leave a comment

Eating Recovery Center shares advice to help women recognize and address eating and exercise behaviors that may be contributing to fertility issues

Denver, CO, July 11, 2013 – Women seeking answers to fertility challenges frequently look to reproductive issues as the primary source of problems. However, few women are aware that their own eating or exercise behaviors – past or current – may actually be a contributing factor in their inability to conceive. Eating Recovery Center, an international center providing comprehensive treatment for eating disorders, often observes women seeking eating disorders treatment after unsuccessful attempts to get pregnant. For this reason, Eating Recovery Center urges women to evaluate their patterns of eating and exercise for possible disordered behaviors before making the decision to start – or expand – a family.

Studies confirm the unfortunate connection between eating disorders and fertility issues. A 2000 survey of women attending a fertility clinic revealed that among women with irregular or absent menstrual periods, 58 percent had an eating disorder. Furthermore, none of these women volunteered this information without prompting. Another study featured in the journal Fertility and Sterility looked at a group of women with unexplained infertility who restricted calories for vanity reasons, but did not meet the criteria for an eating disorders diagnosis. When these women increased their body weight and caloric intake, 73 percent of them quickly conceived.

“An active eating disorder can significantly impair a woman’s ability to conceive, as can unhealthy behaviors including starving, bingeing, purging or over exercising that may have occurred over prolonged periods of time in the past,” said Ken Weiner, MD, FAED, CEDS, founding partner and chief executive officer of Eating Recovery Center. “Despite the clear connection between eating disordered behaviors and infertility illustrated by the research in the field, many women struggling to get pregnant hide their disordered eating behaviors – past or present – from their OB-GYNs and fertility specialists.”

As such, Eating Recovery Center offers the following guidance to help women who may be struggling with infertility and eating disorders to understand the impact of disordered eating behaviors on their ability to conceive and seek appropriate treatment.

1. Consult with a doctor before changing diet or exercise behaviors. Many women make changes to their diet and exercise patterns in an effort to be healthier while trying to conceive. However, if women have a family history of eating disorders or a personal history of disordered eating, these seemingly healthful changes could trigger disordered eating behaviors for those with a genetic predisposition toward developing an eating disorder.

2. Understand that regular or absent menstrual periods may indicate that eating or exercise behaviors are adversely impacting the natural body cycles that support conception. Although irregular or absent menstruation can be caused by a variety of factors not related to diet, weight or exercise, restricting calories or excessive exercising behaviors may play a role in irregular menstruation and contribute to fertility challenges. Additionally, it is important to understand that eating or exercise behaviors can impact the menstrual cycles of women even if they are of normal or healthy weight. Many people mistakenly believe that women must have experienced significant weight loss and/or be of very low weight for irregular or absent periods to occur.

3. Ask an expert. Concerns about eating or exercise behaviors and the possible impact of these behaviors on fertility should be directed to an OB-GYN, fertility specialist, family doctor, therapist, dietitian or eating disorders specialist. These healthcare professionals can help women determine whether behaviors may be fertility-impeding, as well as identify an appropriate course of treatment if necessary. Remember that healthcare professionals need all relevant information to make accurate diagnoses and help their patients.

4. Be honest about eating disordered behaviors. While an active eating disorder cannot only lead to infertility, it can also contribute to miscarriage, low birth weight and other dangerous complications for mother and child upon becoming pregnant. Therapeutic intervention and medical monitoring can be integral components in supporting healthy pregnancies for individuals that are able to conceive.

“It is incredibly important that women be transparent regarding their eating disorders struggles in order for reproductive healthcare professionals to effectively diagnose fertility issues and prescribe a treatment plan that meets each individual’s unique needs,” added Dr. Weiner. “Because eating disorders are often shrouded in shame and secrecy, it is equally important that healthcare providers be aware of the connection between eating disorders and fertility, and that they learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of eating disorders in their patients.”
