Very well said and great argument. I fail to see any logical reason why all OTC should not be cleared although i have great reservations on the existing CH. I hope to cover some of these concerns and no doubt the points you raise in the first Post Trade debate on the 23rd June hosted by the London Stock Exchange. See Finextra for details

Well said again

Thanks for your comment. This is actually spot on to what we are trying to achieve. By connecting accross the industry it is hoped that there will be a single point of reference

This will surely be discussed at the Post Trade Forum Clearing House consolidation debate hosted by the London Stock Exchange on the 23rd June. I still have my doubts about the interoperability solution but at least this looks a positive move.

No No No ! This would be a disaster. SWIFT is not the right choice and will lead to a fragmented solution world wide.

Thanks Chris

What is needed is some AI to be developed. AI is comming and maybe this will eventually prove the answer , otherwise human grey matter looks like being arround for some time

I have to agree that the Nasdaq OMX and Intercontinental Exchange offer is far more attractive . Not only price but for future positioning within the evolving Global regional hub. I dont think this will be over quickly and be prepared for a tough fight

Than you for this

It sounds like we are on the same wave lengthe

Thanks for your comment

I am not sure regulators know enough or have the desire to educate investors. Its more generic to inform or keep confirming to investors that they have rights and should use them. For example dont moan about Banking remuneration if you dont use your vote at the AGM

There is power in this capital society for the investor but if they not interested in using it than that their own fault. The old saying you can lead the horse to water but cant make it drink suits this scenario

I do however feel that it is in the Corporate Governance area where Companies have a greater responsibility to inform the investor in simple and understanable terms and language what their rights are and what they should do to protect them 

Thanks for the comment. It appears that investors need far more educating by the company and the FS industry on what are their rights. The current situation should not be allowed to persist in a democratic society where corporate can be brought under more control if only investors would

Sounds like you think that if the regulator is short of cash they give everyone a free for all. Since when does good and sound regulation depend on the size of budget? Its a very strange notion i think

The Regulator must move with the times and if that entails learning new skills and being able to find methods to regulate Algo trading via code then thats what they must do. Otherwise why have regulation if its meaningless?
