Beijing vs. Banking Innovation
State banks and regulators take on Internet finance.
April 1, 2014 11:57 a.m. ET

Second Chinese Bond Company Defaults, First High Yield Bond Issuer
Tyler Durden on 04/01/2014 08:01 -0400
In the middle of 2012, to much yield chasing fanfare, China launched a private-placement market for high-yield bonds focusing on China’s small and medium companies, that in a liquidity glutted world promptly found a bevy of willing buyers, mostly using other people’s money. Less than two years later, the first of many pipers has come demanding payment, when overnight Xuzhou Zhongsen Tonghao New Board Co., a privately held Chinese building materials company, failed to pay interest on high-yield bonds, according to the 21st Century Business Herald.

Why banks, hedge funds and Silicon Valley all want their own stock exchanges
Because market makers are profit takers.
The new book from financial scribe Michael Lewis tracks the battle over high-frequency trading, computer-augmented strategies traders use to exploit small differences in time and price.

The depressing truth behind Michael Lewis’ Flash Boys: Even the world’s top investors don’t understand today’s markets
By Matt Phillips @MatthewPhillips March 31, 2014
The ideas aren’t new. Unsavory elements of high-speed computerized trading have been a concern since at least May 2010, when the so-called “flash crash” struck US exchanges. (Die-hard market geeks were concerned long before that.) But Michael Lewis’s new book Flash Boys, on the perils of high-speed computerized markets, could still be important if only because it cuts through the dense webbing of jargon and complexity that has proven dangerous to the US financial system and the economy as a whole.

Can We Close the Pay Gap?
MARCH 29, 2014, 2:30 PM 212 Comments
LONDON — The issue of pay ratios has become the latest front in a worldwide debate about inequality and the widening gap between the top 1 percent and everyone else. In the United States, the financial reforms of the Dodd-Frank Act contained a provision that would force American companies to disclose the ratio of the compensation of their chief executive officer to the median compensation of their employees. Yet fierce criticism from the business sector has succeeded in delaying this measure for four years — and counting. Read more of this post
