standardized derivatives … globally have strong growth potential as they are “real products”… with “real people” creating them … and insuring “real world incidences” …
shares are no products … DB1 only facilitates the marketplace …
and that can be done by anyone … they only need a “Fort KnoX Computer” like the one in Ffm Hausen …
actually … EUREX is the core value of DB1 and the should do EVERYTHING to push this business … EVERYTHING …
… but they have lost some handful of brilliant staff …
… they are not a start up anymore …
