Word from the nerd

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

Development on our new systems for providing Market Data is coming along well. The team has spent the last month integrating broking support into the system. It s now possible to create/amend/cancel orders and to view holdings and cash account information through the new system.

Furthermore, the system now supports accepting market data from a variety of sources, but making them available all from within the same standard environment. This means that we can push in Futures, Options, Equities, FX and Commodities data from many differing points of origin, but have our software products handle them with little customisation or specialisation.

Finally, the first prototypes of the web based streaming version of the products that use the new Market Data system have been demonstrated; with proper development expected to commence shortly.

With markets as cheap as they now are, some asset consultants have been suggesting now is the time for super funds to buy, according to The Australian.

Following on from last week s strong performances on Wall Street, and signals that good value stocks are available in the market, these analysts are recommending careful investment in global equities, top quality debt and credit markets.

As with most of the good news recently, the stress is still on caution. Still of concern:

    • the bottom of the market is yet to be identified
    • dividends are likely to fall further
    • we don t yet know how outstanding corporate debt will be handled
  • This article offers a range of opinions, click here to read the full text.
