Well my parents did the naughty naughty and here I am.

I like to think of life as a roll of the dice. It's fascinating how we are here and the chances of it!

IP LAW

Hi - I’m a lawyer based in the UK, and looking to improve my IP law knowledge. Has anyone done the PGDip in IP Law at Oxford? Or can anyone give any suggestions on some good courses / resources? My background is in transactional, but improving my IP law knowledge would really help with my role.

Three observations from my market analysis this week:
1) Still work to do in repairing damaged trends with only energy and financials up over the last month
2) Technology has issues with rates, valuations, and supply chains for chips, so this could be heavy on the indexes
3) Setup for the week is concerning with OPEX, lots of data releases, and almost no IVOL premium - lots of event risk and limited hedging in place
