The collection includes magazines from the last 45 years, including Stocks & Commodities, CME Magazine, SFO, Trader, Omega Research and Corporate Risk Management. There are also trading books, trading courses and tapes. Contact me if you are interested and I will put you in contact with Darrell.
We have added Trading Technologies CFO Michael Kraines to our Chicago Friday session of the MarketsWiki Education event held at Trading Technologies' offices. We also have an agreement from Richard Rosenblatt of Rosenblatt Securities to join our New York series.

In this first video from our Exchange Leader Series filmed at FIA IDX, William Knottenbelt, senior managing director, international, with CME Group, talks about the decision to close CME Europe and the international outlook for CME for the rest of 2017.

Trump Wants to Hide Your Complaints About Wall Street; The Treasury recommends blocking public access to one million reports of alleged abuse by lenders, student loan firms, and debt collectors.

A Republican refrain these last few years has been that the Obama administration went too far in policing Wall Street, resulting in higher costs and less choice for American households. So in February, when President Donald Trump directed his administration to apply a lighter touch, the first move he laid out was a desire to empower consumers instead of regulators so that they could make informed choices when it comes to financial products and services.

Why the Media Keeps Missing Political Earthquakes; Mainstream pundits were too old, too rich, and too enthralled with their own thinking to call the U.K. election correctly.
By Pankaj Mishra - Bloomberg
Last week, as the shocking results of the British elections arrived, the most over-used sentence in Britain seemed to be: "I was wrong." Another insurgent mass movement following Syriza in Greece, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump in the United States, and the Five Star Movement in Italy had caused a political earthquake. In one of the biggest political upsets in British history, Theresa May of the Conservative Party lost her majority in parliament, and her socialist rival Jeremy Corbyn led his Labor Party to its largest increase in its share of the popular vote since 1945.

Edmund Burke saw society as a partnership between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are yet to be born. A failure to understand this relationship underlies a disturbing global tendency in recent decades, in which the appropriation of future wealth and resources for current consumption is increasingly disadvantaging future generations. Without a commitment to addressing this inequity, social tensions in many societies will rise sharply.

Martin Wolf - FT
Theresa May promised strength and stability. She has delivered the opposite. It would be funny if it were not so serious. Donald Trump is fixated on the idea that the world is laughing at the US. In the case of the UK, it has to be true: David Cameron launched an unnecessary referendum on EU membership; his successor Mrs May follows by destroying her political position. The country looks ridiculous. The general election has also increased the likelihood of "no deal". Contrary to the idea that "no deal is better than a bad deal", this would be a calamity, for both sides.
