More details@exchangeinvest.com let's start with the Parish Note and Camp Analogy and Space and Apology well, sorry about this, but it seems sort of, well, perhaps not the first time ever ply managed to predict something that happened five years ago. Last week in Exchange Invest I was discussing Abu Dhabi Exchange celebrating a new derivatives contract with some rail bound bell ringing and I rashly stated an EI3644 campanology from the White House to the railways, I anticipate an outer space opening bell by 2030 at the latest. Thanks to the good offices of Stefan Yacko at New York Stock Exchange. I was politely corrected that actually the orbital environment of space had actually hosted already a New York stock exchange bell five years ago on 17th of September 2021 no less. The whole story was an Exchange Invest. I suppose one could split a hair because actually that was a closing bell rather than an opening one. However, nonetheless I'm going to make profuse apologies for making a prediction which had already happened T 1,830 days. Meanwhile, I'm excited to say the Autumn Fall season conferences is coming up fast. I'm delighted to confirm I'm giving a keynote speech to celebrate the 31st anniversary of the Macedonian Stock Exchange at their annual conference this year. Join me in OKWID in September. That's going to be the 21st to the 23rd. And don't forget in November the AFM will have an Epic Trends Day which we are delighted to host in Valletta, Malta.

But the 12 arguments against the Clarity act by former SEC staffer John Reed Stark were worth reading all the same.
