International Securities Exchange Leads Investment Round in Quadriserv

Things continue to "hot up" in the electronic securities lending space as evidenced by this latest round of fund raising in Quadriserv. You can read the story here.

No time for analysis this morning as I am heading out to conduct another securities lending workshop session. Two other bits of other news for you:

FT.com: HSBC shares plunge to 13 year low amid short selling

Reuters: SEC looks at short selling measures

Oh yeah, I almost forgot ... Alan Kohler slammed securities lending in yesterday's Business Spectator in Australia. As I mentioned yesterday, I added a comment because the last line of his article was:

"Let's have that debate"

They still haven't printed my comment. Debate, what debate?
