Well,
another week flies bye. I think I was on top of my inbox for one day this week.
WooHoo!
I
park all the unessential emails in a “later on today” folder...where they often
sulk in the dark before a great big purge and bulk delete carries them away.
Looks
like team GB getting carried away at the Olympics. And Team Aus? OMG what’s
going on? Does anyone know a good website which shows where our hopefuls are?
We’re languishing down the medals table at #17.
Ring
my Bell:
One story about the Olympics that may not make the news there (Down
under) but which was actually lovely
As
mentioned before. In Aust we have houses (the fuel of the Aussie and every bar
room conversation) and holes (mines).
We
do big Holes:
BHP's
environmental statement revealed it planned to spend six years removing the
overburden to access the ore body. In all, it planned to remove a 350
metre thick layer of overburden and the rock taken out will
be transported to a rock storage facility that covers
6,720 hectares and will eventually be 150 metres high. By 2050,
when the mine has not even completed half its life, the pit would be
4.1 kilometres long, 3.5 kilometres wide and one kilometre deep
EuroCCP
raises clearing fees. The thing for me with this fee increase is transparency.
My guess is the 13 cent inter CCP fee is actually 39 cents (because there are 3
CCPs)....and miscellaneous fees are well...various.
Negative
HFT sentiment continues to dominate in Aust.
ASX
needs a little competition to do a deal.
Gotta
dash.
This
weekend have a 3 cubic meter skip to fill.
Enjoy
the Olympics and have a great, Bank holiday,

Australian Financial Review: ASX needs a dose of
competition
...if there were to be thriving competition in clearing and
settlement, together with a lot more competition in trading, and an overseas
bid without close foreign government ties (unlike the Singapore bid), then the
regulator is likely to be much more forthcoming. (in allowing a corporate deal)
