Hero Singer Mariah Carey and The Speed Traders Author Edgar Perez to Present in Singapore on October
Edgar Perez, former McKinsey and IBM consultant, is a global expert, author of The Speed Traders, Knightmare on Wall Street, and the course director of The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore, "How Banks, Hedge and Mutual Funds and Brokers Battle Markets 'RIGGED' by Wall Street's 'Flash Boys', High-frequency Trading, Exchanges and Dark Pools".
New York, NY, USA (September 19, 2014) -- October seems to bring a lot of surprises for citizens of the Lion City. On October 24, 44-year-old Mariah Carey will perform in Singapore; she has been in showbiz for more than 25 years and has sold more than 220 million albums. Just the day before, October 23, 40-year-old author Edgar Perez will present The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore, "How Banks, Hedge and Mutual Funds and Brokers Battle Markets 'RIGGED' by Wall Street's 'Flash Boys', High-frequency Trading, Exchanges and Dark Pools".
In an interview with Channel News Asia, Carey revealed the secret to longevity in the music business. It is her ability to "transcend trends" and having a whole lot of "commitment", she said. "Longevity is something that is very difficult to obtain in this business because a lot of the music business, particularly now, is about trends. And a trend is a trend because it lasts for a moment and then it's gone."
"There are people who transcend trends and typically they are the people who have a catalogue of songs that people love or a voice that people have learnt to love over the years, that's just like embedded in people's ears, brains and hearts like a soundtrack to people's lives. I really think that we never know who's going to have what type of longevity. It's really about your commitment to the music and your commitment to your fans and yourself and how much you are willing to give up. There are really a lot of talented people out there, it just depends on how much they want it."
Perez's The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore (http://www.thespeedtradersworkshop.com) will cover the latest research currently available and reveals how high-frequency trading players are operating in global markets and driving the development of electronic trading at breakneck speeds from the U.S. and Europe to Japan, India, and Brazil. The "flash crash", the suspended BATS IPO, the botched Facebook IPO, Knight Capital's trading malfunction and Nasdaq's Flash Freeze are just a few of the milestones in the history of high-frequency trading that will be dissected with participants coming from all corners of the financial services landscape.
Mr. Perez is widely regarded as the preeminent global expert and speaker in the specialized areas of algorithmic and high-frequency trading. He is the author of The Speed Traders, published in English, Chinese and Bahasa Indonesia, and Knightmare on Wall Street. He contributes to The New York Times, UltraHighFrequencyTrading.com and China's International Finance News and Sina Finance.
