BACKDOC: I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD MENTION THIS SINCE IT IS IMPORTANT.
ABOUT A WEEK AGO VERY LATE AT NIGHT I HEARD ON BLOOMBERG THAT JAPAN WOULD RESTRUCTURE THEIR CURRENCY AND THEY WERE VERY CLEAR THAT IS WOULD BE STRUCTURAL IN NATURE.
AS OF LATE I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE ARTICLE THAT HAS BACKED THAT STATEMENT UP BUT WE ALL KNOW THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE G20 MEETING SO HELP ME WATCH PLEASE!
BLESSINGS, DOC IMO

*The security-by-security phase-in begins on August 19th and concludes on September 2, 2016. The SEC order, approving IEX as an automated trading center, requires that market participants have reasonably designed policies and procedures to treat IEX’s best bid and best offer as a protected quotation in symbols that have transitioned to Investors Exchange as soon as possible (beginning with August 19, 2016 phase-in), but no later than 90 days from the approval order (September 15, 2016).
Thus, market and industry participants have until September 15, 2016 to test and certify with IEX in order to satisfy the obligations of IEX rules and SEC regulations in connection with IEX, including Regulation NMS.
