The Commodity Exchange Monopoly – Reform Is Needed, Jerry W. Markham Jan 1991

The Commodity Exchange Monopoly – Reform Is Needed, Jerry W. Markham

Faculty Publications

In theory, the commodity futures markets are the essence of competition. All orders are required to be exposed to trading pits where traders vie competitively and aggressively to assure the best possible execution price. On the surface, as observed from the exchange galleries or on television, the exchanges do appear to be highly competitive, particularly when one views hundreds of traders screaming and gesticulating wildly for orders. The now famous sting operations on the Chicago exchanges in 1989, however, have provided dramatic evidence that a dangerous symbiotic relationship has developed among traders on the floor that is undermining competition and …


"Front-Running" - Insider Trading Under The Commodity Exchange Act, Jerry W. Markham Jan 1988

"Front-Running" - Insider Trading Under The Commodity Exchange Act, Jerry W. Markham

Faculty Publications

On ‘Black Monday,’ October 19, 1987, ‘perhaps the worst day in the history of U.S. equity markets,’ the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 508 points, representing a loss of approximately $1 trillion in the value of all outstanding United States stocks. In the wake of the crash, numerous studies were conducted and reports published in which a host of regulatory issues were considered, including a disturbing phenomenon called ‘front-running.’ Simply stated, the practice of front-running involves a transaction in a commodity futures contract or a stock option contract by a trader with ‘material’ nonpublic information concerning a ‘block’ transaction …

A Reconsideration Of The Stock Market Exception To The Dissenting Shareholder's Right Of Appraisal, Robert H. Jerry Ii Apr 1976

A Reconsideration Of The Stock Market Exception To The Dissenting Shareholder's Right Of Appraisal, Robert H. Jerry Ii

Faculty Publications

Legislation has attempted to balance fairly the interests of the dissenting shareholder against the corporation's need to reorganize in response to changing economic conditions. The bull market that lasted through 1972 persuaded many drafters of corporate statutes that a dissenting shareholder's interests were adequately protected if he could sell his shares on the market. Accordingly, they promulgated the stock market exception to limit the situations in which the appraisal remedy might inhibit needed corporate flexibility. Low stock prices during 1973 and 19741 have generated a need to reassess this balancing of interests and to reconsider the desirability of the stock …
