Bits & Pieces
By John J. Lothian
Four JLN team members are out in sunny Arizona for the Options Industry Conference, which gets underway officially today.
Jim Kharouf, Spencer Doar, Jeff Bergstrom and Patrick Lothian are covering the conference for JLN and will be conducting interviews, including with option exchange leaders.
Our coverage so far has included a two-part preview interview with OCC Executive Chairman and CEO Craig Donohue. The can be seen here and here
Across the pond, Patrick Thornton-Smith has left Duco and the City and has signed on as a non-executive director with Cult Wines Limited. I wish him well and advise him to stay away from the Jim Jones Wine.
Sometime later today MarketsWiki will go over the 100 million page view mark.
The story I wrote about Jim Oliff leaving the CME Group board has received over 600 views on LinkedIn, which is a huge number. I believe it is a reflection of the impact Jim had on the industry and how well liked he is.
Jim Kharouf and I will be in New York on May 22 and 23. We still have some meeting spots open, so let me know if you want to meet.
Last, registration for the MarketsWiki Education World of Opportunity series in New York and Chicago opens on June 1. You can see details about the series on www.marketswikieducation.com. We are still looking for more sponsors, so let me know if you are interested.

Obituary: The Lord Bagri, CBE, 1930-2017
LME
The Lord Bagri, CBE, who passed on 26 April 2017 aged 86, is the man most credited with the modernisation of the London Metal Exchange (LME).
The longest serving chairman in the LME's 140-year history, Bagri was also the first non-British national to take the helm.
Not only did he lead the LME through an unprecedented period of change -presiding over the demutualisation of the Exchange in 2000 and the introduction of its first electronic trading platform in 2001 - Bagri was also key in leading the LME through the 1996 Sumitomo copper crisis, when the global metals world was rocked by the actions of a rogue trader.

But the firing did violate a powerful unwritten norm: that the director serves a 10-year, nonrenewable term and is fired only for good cause.
