Benefits to weak euro
By Peter Smith in Sydney / Published: May 17 2010 19:02
To achieve parity in the purchasing power of Europeans and their US counterparts, the euro needs to trade at about $1.10, not only according to the OECD but also to the IMF and Eurostat.

Let there be life
By Clive Cookson / Published: May 21 2010 22:56
“If this technology had been available last year, we could have cut the period needed to make a vaccine for H1N1 [swine flu] by 99 per cent,” says Dr Venter. “We could have done it in a day.”

More than just an investor
By Michiyo Nakamoto / Published: May 10 2010 23:13
Big Japanese companies tend to prefer developing their own technologies rather than buying companies that create them, ie venture capital-backed start-ups. As a result, venture capital investors have had to rely on public listings to exit their investments rather than selling companies to third parties. So, 35 per cent of venture capital funds exited through an IPO while only 17.5 per cent exited through a sale to a third party. Dependence on public listings has meant investors have been hurt by the sluggish stock market.

Act now to close gaps that encourage illicit activity
By Richard G. Ketchum / Published: May 11 2010 16:31
A generation ago, fewer than 10 exchanges handled all US equity trades. Today, orders are routed to some 50 competing platforms. This complex environment creates opportunities for traders seeking unfair advantage to manipulate markets. How? By exploiting inconsistencies or gaps created when the responsibility of regulatory oversight is divided.

Last week’s dramatic market spiral was an example of how technology and a fragmented marketplace present serious challenges to regulators. Regulators must now step back and take a serious look at market structure. We need to do this in at least three ways.

←My time as a trader only has around 25, now is 50. Technology help to reap $$ is changing fast.

US shares plunge amid fears over debt
By Michael Mackenzie and Francesco Guerrera in New York and Tom Braithwaite in Washington / Published: May 6 2010 20:40
The S&P 500 ended off 3.2 per cent, at 1,128.15, after a roller-coaster ride that recalled the dark days of the financial crisis. At 2.38pm in New York, the index was down 4 per+ cent. Six minutes later, it was down 8.6 per cent at 1,065.79. By 2.54pm it was back at 1,200. The Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered its worst intra-day points fall – 998.5, or 9.2 per cent – before ending down 3.2 per cent.

Trading in individual stocks was even more bizarre. Procter & Gamble, the consumer products giant, fell 37 per cent before ending 2.3 per cent lower. Some stocks – including Accenture, the consultancy – traded briefly at one cent or less.


Others:
I looked for When Markets Collide by Mohamed El-Erian in a few bookstore futilly last week, but discovered that I already have a copy yesterday. Lucky.
