Lead Commentary

 

SPOOF VOTES NO; 2.4% of votes cast are against CBOT IPO

 

Over 2% of votes cast on the Second Approval Proposition at the CBOT, to approve an Initial Public Offering, were cast against the proposition and a total of 9,589,487 votes/shares (19.43%) were counted as no votes, based on my reading of the outstanding shares in the latest S-1A filing.  Those voting against the proposition apparently ignored the roaring success of the CME since it went public in 2002 and the overwhelming support for the proposition from the rest of the CBOT members.  They ignored the strategic structure needed for the CBOT be able to raise capital or make acquisitions in today’s increasingly competitive environment.  This newsletter has confirmed a strong “flat-earth” belief among the no voters and near unanimous membership in the radical and secret group SPOOFs (Society Promoting Open Outcry Floors).  A SPOOF spokesman by the name of William N. McFill, who asked not to be identified said, “voting yes for the second vote was a no-brainer and our membership just wanted to prove they have brains.”

 

Futures Industry Association President John Damgard, commenting about the 2.4% no vote by SPOOF members said, “This does not pass the laugh test.”

 

**** Actually, differences of opinions are what make markets work and I applaud everyone who stood up for their beliefs, either by voting yes, or no.  But if you can’t have a little fun……

 

**** On a more serious note, there were 40,239,243 shares/votes cast out of a possible 49,359,836* shares/votes issued.  There were 469,894 shares/votes cast against the proposition.  If you measure the 39,770,349 votes cast for the proposition versus the shares outstanding, the vote passed with an 80.57% approval rate.  The CBOT made a big deal out of communicating to members that not voting was the same as a no vote.  Regardless of the way the vote is portrayed, this is a great day and victory for the CBOT and I congratulate them on this step forward.

The case for hedge fund oversight

The investigation of a Bradenton investor after his apparent suicide suggests that he wasn't the success story he claimed.

By JENNIFER LIBERTO, Times Staff Writer

To friends and family, Howard K. Waxenberg was a proud father, a clever jokester and a successful businessman.  To the Securities and Exchange Commission, he was the mastermind of a long-running, expensive Ponzi scheme that went undetected until he shot himself in the head last month in his Bradenton condominium.  Waxenberg, 54, ran a hedge fund, a private investment firm that pools clients' dollars into accounts to invest them in a variety of ambitious ways.  Over 15 years, Waxenberg had collected more than $73.7-million from nearly 200 mostly wealthy investors scattered from Los Angeles to Boston, according to SEC records filed in federal court earlier this month.

NYSE to Pursue Growth Options Beyond Stocks

By AARON LUCCHETTI and DAVID REILLY, Staff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

The Big Board plans to consider expanding into international markets, options and other derivatives to compete in an increasingly competitive and consolidating industry, Chief Executive Officer John Thain said.

The New York Stock Exchange chief's comments, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, reflect a new global reality for the markets where securities are traded. Technological advances that have made electronic trading more reliable and efficient are fueling a shakeout, as increasingly sophisticated customers demand quicker and less expensive trades on a wide variety of securities going far beyond stocks and as regulators scrutinize what brokerage houses charge investors.  That means the real estate that exchanges traditionally have provided traders who oversee the buying and selling of securities has become less important than spending on reliable, fast technology that can match buyers and sellers without human intervention.

NYSE willing to tweak terms of Archipelago deal

by Aaron Elstein

New York Stock Exchange Chairman Marshall Carter said the exchange is willing to tweak some of the terms of its proposed merger with Chicago-based Archipelago Holdings Inc. in order to get members to sign off on the deal.  In particular, Mr. Carter said exchange officials may settle for a smaller stake in the post-merger company than the 5% they currently intend to give themselves. NYSE members, or seatholders, own the exchange and have complained that management has no business allocating itself equity which belongs to them.

A Paradigm Shift in Energy Commodity Markets, History is No Longer the Predictor of Future Behavior

Author: Gary M. Vasey, Ph.D.

As the price of crude futures reach close to $60/bbl, the question to ask is can it go higher and if so what will be the impact? Industry analyst CERA has issued guidance that it expects oil prices to stay above $50 per barrel for at least the next four quarters and a number of investment banks have made public announcements of price spikes up to and beyond $100 per barrel.  While many have picked out hedge funds and other alternative investors as the culprit behind rising energy prices in general, the truth is that these investors are simply responding to market fundamentals that they perceive as having an impact on future price levels. Indeed, I would argue that it is these investors that have read the market correctly over the last 12 months while the energy industry has not. Why? Because these investors have recognized that, for the time being at least, history is no longer a predictor of the future.

US climate exchange raises its fees

More comes amid insufficient trading activity

The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) has boosted its membership fees fivefold to generate income after more than a year of operations have failed to generate sufficient trading activity to secure the exchange’s long-term viability.  The development is a sign that voluntary carbon emissions exchanges are not attracting significant trading activity in the US, even as the concept has gained acceptance among US corporations as a way of setting standards for controlling greenhouse gases.

Hedge fund aggression a threat, but hyped

LONDON (Reuters) - Hedge funds' aggressive profit focus can lead to market abuses but is usually a force for good, fund managers told Reuters, against a backdrop of German plans to push for more regulation at a G8 meeting in July.  The $1.2 trillion hedge fund industry is still lightly regulated compared to more established market players such as investment banks, and this combined with a tough investment approach has led to unethical behaviour, some politicians say.
