Former Chief Commercial Officer, S&P Dow Jones Indices
Does this describe 2018? This perhaps? What about this? Let’s be frank: the markets took a bit of a beating this year. In contrast to the tremendous performance of last year, 2018 was markedly less enjoyable or serene: At the Close – the DJIA ends an ugly year on a positive note; the last session…
T-G-I-F. And I would’ve written something sooner about The Dow but the Wi-Fi in my underground bunker, where I retreated for the impending apocalypse, is spotty. I’ll need to do something about that if this keeps up. Obviously, that’s a joke. I don’t have Wi-Fi in my bunker. But it’s no joke that this has…
A “canon” refers to the core texts that constitute the doctrine of a specific discipline. Different faiths hold certain letters and books as canon. The same can be said of a body of works that shaped and directed a culture. The original Ghostbusters is, obviously, a canonic comic film and anyone who suggests otherwise should…
Yet here I am, writing about the DJIA crossing through yet another 1,000 point milestone – 25,000, no less – a mere 23 trading days after the last one and right on the tail of the 5 successive 1000 point marks achieved last year. With the 152.45 points (0.61%) gained during today’s session, the Dow…
Yesterday, the first markets day of the New Year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average® continued its advance, finishing up 104.79 points for a 0.42% gain. How does that stack up against the post-holiday return to trading in prior years? Meh…it was nothing special. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, mind you. A…
OK, that might be hyperbole. This may not be the Top 10. Let’s just say it’s a Top 10. Regardless, it’s hard to deny that 2017 was a standout year for US equity markets. To wit: At the Close – despite losing 118+ points during the final trading session, the DJIA ends the year at…
Wow. It may not be experiencing quite the same year-to-date appreciation as bitcoin – nor its volatility, mind you – but by all accounts the Dow Jones Industrial Average has had a remarkable run in 2017. And, powered Thursday by a gain of 331.67 points (+1.39%), it topped 24,000 for the first time in history….
What Is It? The Benchmark Regulation (BMR) is a key part of the European Union’s (EU’s) response to the LIBOR scandal and the allegations of similar manipulation of foreign exchange and commodity benchmarks. It is intended to protect investors by requiring greater transparency and stronger governance among firms that: 1) provide, 2) contribute to, or…
This scene came to mind after I recently posited a few indexing milestones. My intent was to opine on watershed moments in design, those individual indices that marked advancement, a change in approach, or increased utility. Almost immediately, I received “Yeah, but what about…?” communiques. So forthwith I complete my all-too-brief, original list with the…
During a recent retreat to the Blue Ridge Mountains, I picked up a copy of Outside Magazine’s 40th Anniversary issue. Nursing two fingers of bourbon, I paged through their feature on the seven most classic pieces of adventure gear. Generally, it’s a great list. Number 4, Ray-Ban Aviators? Absolutely. Number 7, Birkenstock sandals? Yeah…no. But…
