Morgan Stanley Technology Index

Both the International Securities Exchange and American Stock Exchange list options on the cash-settled Morgan Stanley Technology Index (MSH), an equal-dollar weighted index designed to measure the performance of a cross section of highly capitalized U.S. companies active in nine technology subsectors: computer services, design software, server software, PC software and new media, networking and telecommunications equipment, server hardware, PC hardware and peripherals, specialized systems and semiconductors. The Index comprises 35 companies.
The MSH Index was developed with a base value of 200.00 on December 16, 1994, and the index value was later split 2-for-1 on March 20, 2000.
Because these contracts are fungible, contract specifications at these exchanges mirror one another.

Morningstar was founded by Joe Mansueto in his Chicago apartment in 1984. It launched its eponymous rating system for mutual funds in 1985, adding its Principia system for financial advisors in 1986.
The Morningstar Style Box was created in 1992, categorizing investment products into a nine-box two dimensional matrix of market capitalization and relative value.
Tokyo-based Softbank and Morningstar began a joint venture in Japan in 1998, and a year later Softbank acquired a 20 percent stake in Morningstar. It expanded into Australia, New Zealand and Canada the same year.
Over the next few years, expansion continued into Asia and Europe, and a number of new analysis products were created and released to cover a wide range of financial products, including managed portfolios, indexes and individual stocks.
The company completed an IPO of its Japanese business on Nasdaq Japan in 1998, and in 2003 acquired mPower, an X of Y.

Moroccan All Shares Index (MASI)

First published on January 1, 2002, the Moroccan All Shares Index (MASI) is a broad index that tracks all securities listed on the Casablanca Stock Exchange.
In 2004, the Casablanca Stock Exchange changed the method for calculating their indexes, based on the idea of floating, to better match the stock position of a company and their position in the index. Since then, the index is often referred to as MASI Float or MASI Free Float Index.
The MASI is one of two main indexes at the exchange, the other is the Moroccan Most Active Shares Index (MADEX).

Mortgage

A mortgage loan is a loan secured with real property as collateral. The borrower is obliged to pay the loan back with a predetermined set of payments. Mortgage loans can be obtained through banks or other financial institutions. The characteristics of a mortgage loan (size, maturity, interest rate, etc.) can vary. In a residential mortgage, if a home buyer defaults on paying the loan, the bank may foreclose on the home, evict the tenants and sell the house. 
The U.S. mortgage market totalled around $3 trillion in 2007 but has since declined following the collapse of the subprime mortgage sector, which accounted for around 20% of the total. Newer mortgage-based trading products have since appeared, offering traders and investors more opportunities in the housing market. 
Traders and investors wanting exposure to the U.S. mortgage market have typically faced two choices: mortgage indexes based on either stock or home values; or mortgage-backed securities, usually collateralized bonds. The latter market collapsed spectacularly in 2007, particularly at the $600 billion subprime end, and smacked the global investment banking sector.
== Index Plays ==
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange lauched the first investment vehicles for the mortgage market - CME Group real estate products - in 2006. CME listed futures and options contracts based on the value of the widely-quoted S&P/Case-Shiller Index of the U.S. housing market, which follows the house prices of 10 U.S. cities with a two-month lag. The contracts extend from 18 months up to 60 months out, listed quarterly and biannually. CME has since added similar contracts for commercial real estate.
Index-product innovater MacroMarkets recently filed to launch MacroShares Major Metro Housing Up and Down securities based on the S&P/Case-Shiller Index, essentially the first U.S. mortgage-market ETF. Observers praised the new product for helping to open up a previously illiquid section of the asset market and expect the mortgage MacroShares to be used similarly to medium-term and long-term CME housing futures contracts. 
=== Housing stock ===
The KBW Mortgage Finance Index (MFX) takes a different track to funds based on the Case-Shiller Index that tracks home prices in cities around the country. Instead, MFX tracks the broad performance on U.S. exchanges of stocks in companies like Fannie Mae and Countrywide that are heavily exposed to the mortgage market. Options contracts on the MFX are listed on the International Securities Exchange (ISE) and the Philadelphia Stock Exchange(PHLX).

Mortgage-backed securities

Mortgage-backed securities are bonds financed by mortgage payments on home loans generated across the country, and usually issued by large government-regulated mortgage-repurchasing agencies like Fannie Mae (FNMA), Ginnie Mae (GNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC). 
These securities grew in popularity up until 2007, because they typically provided higher yields than traditional fixed-income securities like treasury bonds because of default and pre-payment risks. However, the market began to collapse in 2007 after defaults on subprime mortgages soared and the securities' underwriters, such as the now-defunct Bear Stearns, were forced into huge writedowns.
The mortgage-repurchasing agencies that issued these securities were seized by the U.S. government on Sept. 7, 2008, after the mortgage meltdown and resulting financial crisis had resulted in their portfolios holding trillions of dollars of toxic assets, and policymakers decided they needed restructuring. 
== Over-rated ==
A key factor in these losses were the high ratings awarded mortgage-backed securities by credit ratings agencies like Moody's and Standard & Poor's despite their shaky foundations. Moody's executives have admitted that computer glitches were partly responsible for some incorrect ratings but also blamed issuers for poor information. Subprime mortgages represented about a fifth of the total U.S. mortgage market of $3 trillion in 2007.
==MBS and the Dodd-Frank Act==
The Dodd-Frank Act, signed in 2010, called for new rules on MBS, including certain business conduct standards, reporting requirements, credit risk retention, and a shift from reliance on credit ratings in offerings of non-convertible securities.

Mosaic Smart Data

Mosaic Smart Data is a London-based fintech company that counts JP Morgan as a minority shareholder. It is offering a real time data analytics platform for the interest rate swap market that it says could reduce trading “fat finger” and other trading losses for investment banks. Banks have traditionally relied on historic analytics for interest rate swaps because of the complexity of the market place. 
Mosaic Data said it had already signed up one large bank to its new MSX real time interest rate swap analytics platform and it was in talks with “more than 20 sellside and buyside firms” about launching the technology by the end of 2019.
 
== History ==
Mosaic launched a real time analytics platform for bonds in October of 2017 and has signed up two customers, according to Hodgson.
Mosaic Smart Data was announced as a winner of Invest Hong Kong’s first ever fintech awards, the UK fintech awards, organised in conjunction with the UK Department for International Trade.

Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange

__NOTOC__
The Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange (MICEX) was the platform for currency, equity, and derivatives trading in Moscow and Russia's seven regional exchanges in St. Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Yekaterinburg, Samara, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, and Vladivostok. It was established in 1992 to handle currency transactions from the former Gosbank of the Soviet Union.
The Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange was ranked as the world's 33rd-largest derivatives exchange by volume in 2010, moving up one position from the previous year, according to the annual volume survey published by the Futures Industry Association (FIA).[3]The FIA report, published in March of 2011, notes that the exchange's total volume for 2010 jumped by 65.7% from the previous year, reaching almost 32 million contracts.
* For the current merged exchange, see the MarketsWiki entry for Moscow Exchange.
==Merger with RTS Stock Exchange==
MICEX and RTS Stock Exchange received government approval in September 2011 to merge the two exchanges. The merged entity was converted into a stock-owned corporation that would be able to go through an initial public offering. The IPO is expected to raise at least $300 million.
The merger was designed to bring several improvements to the Russian capital market. First, it was part of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's plan to make Moscow an international financial hub. MICEX CEO Ruben Aganbegyan told Reuters in September 2011 that the merger was aimed at boosting volumes on the exchange, which were about $2 billion daily in 2010. Augmenting that was the expected passage of a law that created a central depository system starting on January 1, 2012, aimed at creating more liquidity and luring more foreign investment in Russian IPOs and equity listings.

Movie Futures

Movie Futures refers to a type of financial derivative based on the predicted box office success of motion pictures. The concept gained traction in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but ultimately faced regulatory hurdles and a Congressional ban in the United States.
== History ==
The story of movie futures began in 1996 with Max Keiser and Michael Burns, two Wall Street traders, who created The Hollywood Stock Exchange (HSX). This online multiplayer game allowed users to buy and sell "moviestocks" of upcoming films using fictional dollars, aiming to maximize their investment returns. The HSX proved to be a reliable indicator of a film's box office performance, leading Keiser and Burns to explore its potential for real-world motion picture financing. 
In 2001, Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P. acquired the HSX with plans to launch a real-world futures market called "The Cantor Exchange". However, the September 11 terrorist attacks severely impacted Cantor Fitzgerald, halting these plans. The company resumed its efforts in 2007, hiring Richard Jaycobs to navigate regulatory approvals. Simultaneously, Robert Swagger, CEO of Veriana Networks, Inc., was developing "The Trend Exchange" through its subsidiary, Media Derivatives. 
Both Cantor Fitzgerald and Media Derivatives pursued their exchanges in a changed regulatory environment. In 2009, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) initiated the approval process for film futures, including public commenting periods. Swagger and Jaycobs emphasized the need for film futures amid uncertain financial times, highlighting the difficulty of securing traditional Hollywood financing deals.
== Opposition and Congressional Ban ==
Despite initial progress, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) emerged as a vocal critic of film futures. This effort gained bipartisan support, with Congress concerned about conflicts with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.
As a result, Senator Blanche Lincoln added a provision to the Wall Street Reform Act that banned domestic trading of film futures. Despite attempts by Swagger and Jaycobs to address concerns, Congress passed the Act, and President Obama signed it into law on July 21, 2010, effectively halting film futures endeavors in the United States.

Moving Average

A moving average is a technical indicator used to show the average price of a traded instrument over time. For example, the 18 day moving average would be calculated by adding the closing price for 18 trading sessions and dividing by 18. The use of moving average helps moderate the effect of volatility on price data. Often, two or more moving averages are used to generate trade signals through convergence or divergence.

Mt. Gox Legal

Mt. Gox Legal is a co-operative organization consisting of over 900 creditors of Mt. Gox, a former bitcoin exchange that suffered a huge, sustained hacking attack between 2013 to 2014. The attack resulted in Mt. Gox customers losing an estimated total of 125,000 bitcoins (BTC). The organization was founded in 2017 by Andy Pag, a BBC reporter, in order to help those pursuing legal recourse against Mt. Gox. The website features a forum where members can discuss their efforts. A payment of $100/£85 is required to join. 
According to the website, due to the sharp rise in the value of the recovered bitcoin at the time the group was formed, Mt. Gox then had more assets than liabilities. The group successfully pushed for a plan of civil rehabilitation for Mt. Gox which would result in payouts to creditors.
In April 2019, Pag said that he would step down from his role with Mt. Gox Legal, telling CoinDesk he had "put [his] career on hold for 18 months," and that he wanted to "move on with his life."
