Leo Melamed: In the middle of the action from the beginning

摘要

Leo Melamed has been a part of the entire modern futures experience. He was a member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) when their biggest contract was egg futures and has supervised or been directly responsible for all of its major innovations from the International Monetary Market (IMM) to the emergence of Globex and he is still looking to the future, and, by the way, still trading. Anyone who sits down to have a discussion with Leo knows that they won't have his complete attention because a part of him will always be focused on the markets he created. Like a proud parent, Melamed can't stand to be separated from his progeny too long, so there is always a position to follow and trade to be made.
