The Inbox: Listener questions and comments

• Question from JVSchultz - FinTech was all the rage in 2015. What are you top upcoming trends for 2016 in Trading Tech?
• Question from Ntander - You have commented many times on the inability of the current regulators to keep up with the exploding technology in the financial markets. Do you think there is support for a dedicated technology regulator separate from the SEC and CFTC? This body would solely focus on the technology aspects of the markets and leave the regular market regulation to their counterparts. Thoughts?
• Comment from Karrigan - Ever thought of special episodes that focus on different segments of the market. Maybe an Ags Tech episode, a Metals Tech episode, etc.
