The Waters Weekly Wrap: April 9-15

We have some big events coming up. Next week (Thursday) we have the North American Trading Architecture Summit in New York. We then have the Buy-Side Technology European Summit in London on May 17. Then, on May 18, the 14th annual North American Financial Information Summit (NAFIS) will take place in New York. Click on the links for more information. Attendance for all three is free for end users.

Also, in this week's Waters Wavelength Podcast, Dan and Anthony chat about TruMid's soon-to-be-launched proprietary trading platform and the launch of Deutsche Bank's Silicon Valley innovation lab. The guys then talk about what technologies they'd develop at their own labs, and Dan goes on a rant about runners. They wrap things up discussing Gay Talese's bizarre new story and the Rangers' playoff chances.

And here's the best of the rest from WatersTechnology from this past week:
