| Beyond Stress Tests & the Dodd-Frank Bill: Why a "Calibrateable dsFTT" Makes Sense (c) 2010 by Angus Cunningham Principal, Authentix Coaches |
| Latest Update: 100910 |
| Angus operates an executive coaching practice in Toronto with clients who include a manager of trading with a major Canadian bank. Educated at Cambridge and Wharton, and a McKinsey management consulting alumnus, he began his enterprise by leading a team that delivered the world's first electronic trading system built with open-system components -- to a Toronto-based bond trading house. In this paper Angus points out what remains unaddressed, or at least unfocused, in current regulatory initiatives and proposes a differentiated speculative financial transactions tax (dsFTT) that will facilitate a healthy coherence between speculative investors and the needs of the "real" economy. A blog facility is available for comment. |
