Category:Behavioral and social facets of systemic risk

was Category:Systemic Risk - Behavioral & Social Facets

• I'm the original author of two category pages
  • Category:Systemic risk This has a related article page Systemic risk that I did not author but could use updating. There may also be key Wikipedia pages that could be tagged with this category. Help from ASIA would be really nice!!!
  • Category:Behavioral and social facets of systemic risk I did not write an article page on this but would participate in a group to write one. See the talk page for more. This is bleeding edge research - 10 toes over the front of the surfboard type stuff. However its very real and have found at least one initial survey article (top quality in a heavily refereed journal) so its undeniably legitimate. Would love help here!!!

Solvency II Directive

Since the plenary vote is on the 22 October and the legislation is due to come in force on the 1 January 2014 I think this page requires some urgent attention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoe Lindesay (talk • contribs) 11:19, 22 September 2013 (UTC) Implications for costs of retirement and long term infrastructure investment as well as all sorts of other things. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoe Lindesay (talk • contribs) 11:24, 22 September 2013 (UTC) Would be particular good if anyone knows of concerns being voiced outside the UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoe Lindesay (talk • contribs) 11:29, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

VPIN

Hello there. Would anyone please look at the VPIN article? It seems to be the subject of an embarrassingly long-running edit war involving a whole bunch of SPAs that keep pushing opposing viewpoints. It would benefit from the involvement of someone knowledgeable in the area.  — daranz [ t ] 22:18, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Structured Deposit

Hello finance experts! This abandoned draft will soon be deleted under db-G13. It appears to have some references. Is there anything here that should be saved? —Anne Delong (talk) 03:09, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Okay, it's gone... —Anne Delong (talk) 23:47, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Suggestions on your mortgage fraud entry.

My name is William K. Black. I am an Associate Professor of Economics and Law at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. I am a former federal financial regulator and a white-collar criminologist. The page reads like it was written by the Mortgage Bankers Association. It attributes the lies in liar's loans as solely by borrowers and treats appraisal fraud as if it originated with individual appraisers. Neither claim bears any resemblance to reality. The entire article ignores "control fraud." You can check out my congressional and FCIC testimony or hundreds of detailed blogs in New Economic Perspectives for an alternative view with extensive data and citations (and analytics).

Flash Crash Should Have Its Own Wikipedia Entry

Hi All - I believe the phenomenon of "flash crash" is serious and unique enough to merit its own page. High-frequency trading is its own phenomenon, while "flash crash" is the result of a combination of factors, including high-frequency trading. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mickeyhsue (talk • contribs) 15:14, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Here's the background: Beland added a tag to the Flash Crash article, suggesting it be merged into High-frequency trading. Beland did not give any reasons for the merger or start a discussion. I have removed the tag and left a post on Beland's talk page. I have my own doubts as to whether we really need a Flash Crash article beyond the 2010 Flash Crash article, but an orphan tag doesn't accomplish anything.

Pershing Square Capital Management Stub

The last paragraph of the "investment history" section has a sentence that reads "The fund was betting on the company to go bankrupt, but because GGP had more assets then debt ($30 billion in assets vs $27 billion in debt) and that the company problems were not their assets but with refinancing maturing debt in frozen markets, noting that shareholders will be rewarded after the bankruptcy."

The last clause does not make sense in the context of the rest of the sentence, and appears to perhaps be missing some words, but I can't determine the author's original intent or meaning.
