I studied economics in college, but I'm not "an economist", just someone who knows how money works - unlike, apparently, so many of our modern high-profile economists who are paid to talk rubbish by entities like the Heritage Foundation. (If it was the piece on comparative advantage that inspired you to ask this, you might be amused to know that it draws on an insight from rock star Stuart Zechman.) <br /><br />Er, you didn't really think there could be <i>two</i> Avedon Carols, did you?Avedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702100335744054401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598883894140893389.post-58312271977764258752013-06-16T22:32:15.651+01:002013-06-16T22:32:15.651+01:00Avedon, there is an Avedon Carol on Twitter.

The scheme involves the WM/Reuters Closing Spot Rates, which are used to provide daily benchmarks to value portfolios. However, market participants have been front-running client orders to rig the rates by pushing through trades before and during a 60-second window when the rates are set. British regulators are considering a probe into allegations of this practice, the report said. <=<br /><br />http://www.marketwatch.com/story/dealers-rigged-forex-spot-benchmarks-report-2013-06-11<br />~ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©https://www.blogger.com/profile/06252371815131259831noreply@blogger.com
