A Reflection On Financial Markets, 1 J. Marshall Global Mkt. L.J. 1 (2012), Leo Melamed

John Marshall Global Markets Law Journal

In 1972 the International Monetary Market (the “IMM”) was launched in order to provide the financial world the same ability as the agriculture industry to manage risk. At the time, no one knew if the IMM would succeed, have any merit, or be accepted by other members of the financial world. The IMM’s commencement was before the age of technology—before the onset of computers. Once computers existed, financial engineers had the ability to electronically allocate risk and the world began to acclimate to the idea of computer-generated financial derivatives. This Article stresses that full disclosure and transparency is dire in …

Futures traders are attracted to market liquidity—the ability to buy and sell without the transaction having a large impact on market price. Market liquidity is associated with a large number of buyers and sellers and high average daily volumes of trading. This Article discusses the reluctance of futures traders to switch to a new exchange which does not have as much liquidity as an older, established exchange and the difficulty that these new exchanges face in acquiring even a marginal portion of the market share. These difficulties arise because these exchanges choose to use a clearing house that they own …

This Article compares the U.S. Supreme Court’s holding in Free Enterprise Fund v. PCAOB to the factors used in Lebron v. National Railroad Passenger Corp. when determining whether a corporation is part of the government (and consequently subject to government control and the President’s removal powers). In Free Enterprise, the U.S. Supreme Court considered factors to determine whether or not an agency is a self-regulatory organization (an independent third party agency that is not subject to government control). Under the Free Enterprise test, the Court held that PCAOB was not an SRO (unlike the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.) because …


Maybe There Is More Than One Reason They Call It A Derivative Lawsuit – The Implicit Corporate Duty To Hedge, 1 J. Marshall Global Mkt. L.J. 29 (2012), Joseph Michael Reyes Jan 2012

Maybe There Is More Than One Reason They Call It A Derivative Lawsuit – The Implicit Corporate Duty To Hedge, 1 J. Marshall Global Mkt. L.J. 29 (2012), Joseph Michael Reyes

John Marshall Global Markets Law Journal

Derivatives became the primary scapegoat after the financial markets crashed in 2008 and many large investment banks collapsed in the aftermath. Derivatives were thought to be far too risky and not transparent, even though derivatives were originally contrived in order to mitigate risk. Contrary to popular opinion, if used properly, derivatives are very effective in the mitigation of price changes, currency exchange, and interest rate risk. Moreover, the current regulatory landscape encourages the use of derivatives to hedge risk. The current financial environment encompasses the widespread use and acceptance of products that allow hedging to be a common trade practice. …


Dodd-Frank Whistleblower Program: Whistleblower Prevention Strategies, Criticisms, And Future Implications, 1 J. Marshall Global Mkt. L.J. 59 (2012), Florence Shu-Acquaye Jan 2012

Dodd-Frank Whistleblower Program: Whistleblower Prevention Strategies, Criticisms, And Future Implications, 1 J. Marshall Global Mkt. L.J. 59 (2012), Florence Shu-Acquaye

John Marshall Global Markets Law Journal

Section 922 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act authorized the SEC to create a committee that would be responsible for promulgating and enforcing rules to reward whistleblowers. Such rewards are to be paid from the Investor Protection Fund, which is embodied in SEC Rule 21F. The whistleblower provision is meant to promote corporate whistleblowing by incentivizing the prevention of financial abuse. Critics contend, however, that the whistleblower program fails to encourage corporations to strengthen internal compliance programs; instead, corporations will put more effort into whistleblower prevention strategies in order to prevent SEC enforcement actions. SEC Rule …

Given the extremely limited source of resources available to the IRS in recent years, it's not surprising that it is exploring all sorts of avenues to increase its efficiency, particularly relying on corporate taxpayers to self report questionable tax positions. Under the banner of "corporate governance" and "transparency," the Service issued a series of proposals in 2010 requiring disclosure of uncertain tax positions ("UTPs") by corporate taxpayers. The Service essentially piggybacked on the recently imposed 2006 audit requirements that reserves be posted for contingent tax liabilities (i.e., tax positions that could later not be sustained, and therefore had to be …
