Exchange Invest Weekend: 21st May
Exchange Invest is a unique information resource combining the day’s stories in a newsletter for investors in exchanges/financial markets infrastructure.
Exchange Invest was founded by former exchange CEO and author of the first bestselling book of fintech (“Capital Market Revolution!” FT 1999) Patrick L Young. Monday through Friday our daily paid subscriber email discusses the business of bourses of all kinds across the world.
This weekly edition is a magazine of broader macro topics as well as including our free weekly podcast which reviews the highlights of the week in the world’s market structure.

On this day in 1720, the earliest known "blind pool" appeared, as the London Daily Post advertised a prospectus offering stock in a "Proposal for raising the sum of Six Million sterling to carry on a design of more general advantage...and of more certain profit...than any undertaking yet set on foot." There was no record of whether the investors who bought this pig in a poke ever earned any money, but we can safely assume that the "general advantage" and "certain profit" went to the promoters, not to the public.

I am delighted to be back as Keynote at the AFM conference (third time lucky I think!) in London during June.
I am not attending IDX but will be at this event which concentrates on emerging futures markets and is usually a great day… if you are at IDX or based in London I recommend signing up to attend as it gives a great flavour of emerging market activity and for once you can do so without tricky travels to wildly foreign parts - well unless you think Lord’s cricket ground deserves its own sovereign territory!
I hope to see you at the AFM conference next month in London, I’m looking forward to some post Covid pith cum opportunity pointers in my keynote.
