Get well soon John.~JLN Today is the last day of our Chicago MarketsWiki Education World of Opportunity Event. This session will be held at Trading Technologies' offices - thank you again to TT for helping us out! Today's speakers are Renato Mariotti, Thompson Coburn LLP; Scott Ferris, BMO; Colleen Sullivan, CMT Digital; Lisamarie Lukas, OCC; Tim McCourt, CME Group; Bob Fitzsimmons, Wedbush Futures and Maria Mancusi of ABN AMRO Clearing. ~SD On Thursday, August 16, Women in Listed Derivatives (WILD) is presenting an interactive and informative workshop on Sexual Harassment at work in the #MeToo Era. The event will be conducted by Jennifer Schoen Gilbert of Stowell & Friedman, Ltd., a law firm dedicated to defending employees' civil rights, including against sexual harassment.

Adults play by the rules."~SD Six people from Jump Trading are going to swim across the English Channel for charity. Here's hoping they have great weather conditions!~SD Nasdaq has a new "Tomorrow's Capital" podcast out.~SD ++++ Wall Street Is Adding a New 'Weinstein Clause' Before Making Deals Nabila Ahmed - Bloomberg On Wall Street, it's known as "the Weinstein clause." Advisers are adding guarantees to certain merger agreements in light of the sexual misconduct scandals that have enveloped the producer Harvey Weinstein and other high-profile businessmen -- ones that legally vouch for the behavior of a company's leadership. The development is a concrete example of how business is trying to adapt to the #MeToo era, at least in terms of legal liability. The move is particularly noteworthy given its source: the male-dominated world of M&A advisory where the terms of an offer can make or break a bid. /jlne.ws/2OCEn7E **It's not good when you have a clause or scam named after you.~JK ++++ The Fallible CEO James Ellis - Bloomberg Businesses spend endless hours preparing for external perils such as fires, recessions, or even climate change. But the biggest danger for many companies could sit right in the corner office. Call it key man risk, a real worry in an age when chief executive officers can be synonymous with the enterprises they lead. If a founder fails to appreciate the importance of privacy to his customers (Facebook) or a leader's death exposes previously overlooked holes in a corporate strategy (Fiat Chrysler), that spells trouble. It's even worse when an executive makes racially insensitive remarks (Papa John's) or a CEO is accused of inappropriate sexual behavior (CBS). That can send investors heading for the exits. /jlne.ws/2vtxmxa **CEOs are fallible. The question is are they accountable?~JK ++++ Vienna Beef's 125th anniversary reminds Chicago of its meatpacking roots ABC "The dog's gotta be served at 165 degrees, the bun has to be perfectly steamed, the condiments have to be cold," said Vienna Beef hot dog expert Mark Reitman. "The most important ingredient is love, ok? Without love, you got nothing." /jlne.ws/2KhoRdS **Mustard, relish, onion, hot peppers, tomatoes, celery salt - no ketchup - on the birthday dog.~JK ++++ Wednesday's Top Three If you want to make it big in the media someday, you start a reclusive, private proprietary trading firm and then some years later, sue each other in a court of law, making you very public. Such was the case with one of the top read stories of the year so far, the Wall Street Journal's Former High-Speed Trading Executives Allege 'Tyrannical Coup' at Quantlab. Second was from RCM, which put together a cool infographic of The Top 100 Managed Futures Programs. There you will see the size of Winton, Man, AQR, H20 AM and more.
