Dear Reader,
NEW ARTICLE
Give public access to ALPs
We need your help! The SFC is
proposing to ban retail investors from accessing Alternative Liquidity
Providers, which could provide faster and better execution than just placing the
order with SEHK. Webb-site urges the SFC to give the public the same options
that institutional investors enjoy. They almost did with HSBC's ill-fated
Stockmax. We also urge the Government to abolish SEHK's statutory monopoly and
allow competition to drive down fees and innovate. (15-Apr-2014)

Wrong turn for REITs
Webb-site urges the SFC not to
pollute the Real Estate Investment Trust market by allowing them to speculate in
securities with unitholders' money. Surplus cash should be paid out to investors
so that they can invest it themselves. That's what investors do. (2-Apr-2014)

HK Government, 14-Apr-2014
This would appear
to clear the way for Ma to return to HK, get arrested, appear in court and then
have the charges against him formally dropped - assuming that there is also
insufficient evidence to support any new charges.
