Yeah, that sucks, you'd think there would be a complete backup copy of this forum somewhere... Can't imagine if something like that happened to the main system. But no worries, I'm sure the current economic expansion should quickly fill this thread back up again!

I never realized until this article the role that clearing played in the rise of women in derivatives.

It's a great story. Proud that Chicago is central to this diverse, balanced story.

The futures industry's surprisingly good record of promoting women. Exhibit A: CME Group's Kim Taylor.


PS. She's cool as hell.

I've met a surprising number of woman traders, interesting to know that it is a "thing", not just my own anecdote.
