There’s a great piece in the WSJ about the practical effects of the fiduciary rule:

Judith Friedlander, an 80-year-old retiree from Murrieta, Calif., doesn’t appreciate the government trying to regulate how she manages her roughly $400,000 individual retirement account.

After the Labor Department last year approved the fiduciary rule, which generally requires advice on retirement assets to be conflict-free, Ms. Friedlander says her financial adviser suggested she transition from a commission-based account of the sort that could run afoul of the rule into a fee-only account.

But Ms. Friedlander isn’t interested in a switch. She trades only a few times a year and says moving to a fee-only account that charges a percentage of her assets would be far pricier than the periodic commissions she currently pays. “I don’t see any advantage to the regulation for someone like me,” says Ms Friedlander, who adds that she hasn’t decided what to do.
…
As brokerage firms over the past several months have announced their compliance plans, some approaches have put new limits on IRA investors. Bank of America Corp.’s Merrill Lynch, for example, has said it will no longer offer individual retirement accounts that charge commissions, and will instead favor charging retirement savers a fee based on a percentage of their assets. J.P. Morgan Chase is taking a similar tack, offering brokerage retirement clients only a fee-based IRA.

Of course, fee-based accounts in a sell-side brokerage is a whole nuther can of worms. New issue commissions, proxy solicitation fees … the potential for conflict is endless. I continue to advocate that buy-side and sell-side be strictly separated, with the former charging account fees and the latter charging commissions; that anybody on the buy-side be required to publish a performance history from inception that is subject to audit and in which any defined groups be strictly mapped onto the fiduciary’s contemporary KYC form; and that only one ‘side’ can be owned by a single entity (e.g., brokerages and advisory firms can’t have a common owner).

Wow. Toshiba might be going down:

The chaos at Toshiba, the Japanese corporate giant, deepened Tuesday, with its chairman resigning and the company saying it would book a $6.3 billion loss related to its U.S. nuclear business.
…
Then, after the stock market had closed, Toshiba said that it would take a $6.3 billion hit related to Westinghouse’s acquisition in December of Stone & Webster, a nuclear construction business, from Chicago Bridge & Iron in December.
…
Analysts are now speculating about the possibility that Toshiba, which employs almost 200,000 people in Japan and has significant investments in the United States, will have to file for bankruptcy.
…
Toshiba, which bought a majority stake in Pennsylvania-based nuclear power company Westinghouse in 2006, earlier said that it had received internal information late last month about irregularities during the acquisition. It had learned that controls at Westinghouse had been “insufficient” and that the company had used “inappropriate pressure” to make the acquisition.

“We concluded on Monday afternoon that we need further research on the internal reporting . . . and its impact on financial results,” the company said in a statement, adding that its lawyers and an independent auditing firm were still poring over the details.

Preferred shares? There’s drone news to report!

Dubai has tested a Chinese prototype of a self-driving hover-taxi, its transport authority said on Monday, with the aim of introducing the aerial vehicle in the emirate by July.

The test of the one-man electric vehicle comes as the city state in the United Arab Emirates seeks to ensure a quarter of its means of transport are self-driving by 2030.

The EHang 184 can travel on a programmed course at 100 kilometres an hour (60 mph) at an altitude of 300 metres (1,000 feet), the authority said in a statement. The new version has an endurance of about 30 minute flying time. This is about 30 mile range. The drones can handle a flier and a small bag weighing up to a combined total of 220 pounds.

A passenger simply needs to select a destination for the autonomous taxi to take off, fly the route and touch down in the chosen spot monitored by a ground control center, it said.

The EHang 184 is very similar to a multicopter UAV with an X8 configuration.

McJobs, McJobs, McJobs!

Data released Friday show a labor market that’s finally beginning to create new jobs, while at the same time offering little evidence that’s translating into higher incomes for workers as wage growth and hours worked slump.
…
Still, wage data showed underlying weakness that may complicate matters for Bank of Canada policy makers. Average hourly wages for permanent employees increased 1 percent in January from a year earlier, the slowest pace of growth since at least 2003. Hours worked also fell 0.8 percent from a year earlier.
…
Most of the gains came from two categories — a 20,500 increase in finance, insurance, real estate and leasing and another 16,400 in business, building and other support services — and for men aged 25 to 54, with the increase of about 30,000 the largest in more than two years.

It was split between 32,400 part-time positions and 15,800 full-time jobs.

There’s a fascinating story about Nav Sarao, the Flash Crash scapegoat, that shows once again that trading and investment management are two completely different things:

After four months of dead ends, his legal team struck a deal with the authorities: If the U.S. Justice Department and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission agreed not to oppose a reduction in bail to 50,000 pounds, the firm would act as a bounty hunter, taking on responsibility for tracking down the missing millions on the condition that its fees be paid if it did.

They were going down a rabbit hole. A review of Sarao’s investments from 2005 to the present day, based on dozens of interviews and thousands of pages of documents, reveals another twist in an already remarkable story. Navinder Sarao, the trading savant accused of sabotaging the world’s financial markets from his bedroom, may himself have been the naïve victim of what his lawyers portray as a series of cons that stripped him of almost every cent he earned.

Sarao declined to comment for this article. His lawyer, Roger Burlingame of Kobre & Kim in London, told a U.S. judge in November that all of the defendant’s assets “have been stolen.” Sarao invested in ventures from which he, the law firm and the CFTC had been unable to recover the funds, Burlingame said. “Basically, he has some extraordinary abilities with respect to pattern recognition and certain sorts of mathematical abilities, but he has some fairly severe social limitations.”

The story also illustrates the regulatory penchant for going after the easy marks for trivial infringements of arbitrary rules while ignoring the real crooks in the industry.

January 31, 2017

Another month draws to a close, with TXPR up 4.05% since year-end. That, together with the appalling January of 2016 dropping out of the trailing twelve months, means that TXPR has achieved a +24.23% total return over the past year … a pretty good recovery, but there’s still a ways to go! The five-year annualized total return is a miserable +0.42%, but at least it’s positive for the first time since August, 2015; the four-year figure is an abysmal -0.55%.

As near as I can make out, the Solactive Laddered Canadian Preferred Share Index is up 31.37% on the year (+4.76% on the month), but the four year annualized total return is still an awful -2.19%.

Here’s a video about using drones as part of lifeguarding. I understand that the St. Bernard Mountain Dog Union is very concerned about the potential of lost employment due to technology and has made a large donation to Mr. Trump.
