Jumbo options

==Description==
Jumbo options are options contracts based on 1,000 shares as opposed to the usual 100 shares that underlie most option contracts. (There are also mini options which have 10 shares per contract.)
==History==
In the late 1990's the American Stock Exchange offered what they called (at the time) "grand options" which, akin to jumbo options, were contracts based on 1,000 shares of the SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF Trust. Volume was never very high for these options and they were de-listed around 2000.
More recently the Boston Options Exchange (BOX) received permission from the SEC to offer jumbo options based on 1,000 shares of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF. Trading for these contracts began on May 10, 2013.
Currently (as of May 13, 2013) both the International Securities Exchange (ISE) and NYSE Arca have decided to not list jumbo options due to liquidity concerns.

Junius Peake

__NOTOC__ 
The late Junius "Jay" Peake was a professor emeritus at the University of Northern Colorado Monfort College of Business. He passed away on Jan. 27, 2012, and is remembered for the 1983 implementation of the International Futures Exchange. Peake's ideas surrounding electronic securities trading and international finance are in use today.
== Background ==
Peake became a partner at a brokerage firm on Wall Street when he was 23 years old. He began teaching at Monfort College in 1992, retiring in 2006.
Many of Peake's ideas surrounding electronic trading stemmed from the "back-office crisis" in the late 1960s. He was in charge of operations at Shields & Co. and was responsible for the purchase of a $500,000 computer system from the National Cash Register Co. (NCR Corp.) In 1975, Peake went to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and along with finance professor Morris Mendelson and computer expert R.T. Williams Jr., proposed an electronic stock exchange. The 50-page report summarizing the effort was titled "National Book System: An Electronically Assisted Auction Market." His stock market plan also involved the use of decimals rather than fractions, which were used until 2000.
Peake and former Merrill Lynch senior vice president Eugene Grummer announced plans for a first electronic trading system for futures contracts in 1981. The International Futures Exchange opened in 1984.
In Peake's memory, Mondo Visione republished an article he had written about his career.

Junk bond

Bonds are generally classified into two groups - "investment grade" bonds and "junk" bonds. A "junk bond" or high yield bond is one that is rated below investment grade when purchased. The credit rating of the companies issuing these bonds is relatively poor, meaning the bond issuer is more likely to default. Junk bonds have a higher risk of default than investment grade bonds, but they pay a higher yield to attract investors. The low credit ratings of the companies behind these bonds makes it difficult for them to acquire capital at an inexpensive cost. 
The term "junk" is reserved for all bonds with Standard & Poor's ratings below BBB and/or Moody's ratings below Baa. Investment grade bonds are generally legal for purchase by banks; junk bonds are not.
Organizations that issue high-yield debt include many U.S. corporations, certain U.S. banks, various foreign governments and a few foreign corporations.

Jérôme Kerviel

__NOTOC__ 
Jérôme Kerviel became known worldwide as the "rogue trader" blamed for the 4.9-billion-euro bank fraud at Société Générale - one of the largest frauds in financial history. 
 
== Background ==
Kerviel joined Société Générale in 2000 working in their compliance department.
By January of 2008, he was a 31-year-old trader who had been on the trading desk since 2005. After he was discovered to have repeatedly made fictitious trades, SocGen suspended Kerviel's trading privileges and filed a court complaint against him, accusing him of falsifying bank documents, using falsified documents, and unauthorized computer access.
Kerviel was sentenced to three years in prison in 2010 after amassing €50bn in hidden trades leading up to the financial crisis. The positions cost SocGen €4.9bn to unwind and nearly caused the bank to collapse. He was also ordered to repay the money the bank lost. He was charged with forgery, breach of trust and unauthorized computer use. 
He was released in September 2014, with an electronic bracelet, after spending less than five months in prison. 
After years of appeals by Kerviel, France’s highest court in 2014 upheld the original court decision and found him alone criminally responsible for the losses. However, the judge said the lower courts had not fully taken into account possible oversight failures by SocGen when they ordered Kerviel to pay €4.9 billion in damages, leading to a civil case about how much Kerviel should pay the bank back. In September 2016, Kerviel's fine of €4.9 billion was cut to €1 million by a French civil court.
Kerviel won an unfair dismissal case in 2016 against SocGen, in which a French tribunal ordered the bank to pay him €450,000 in damages.
Kerviel has continued to maintain that his superiors at the bank when what he was doing and deliberately turned a blind-eye because he was so profitable. SocGen has said it was not aware of his actions.
== Education ==
Kerviel graduated with a Bachelor's in Finance from the University of Nantes. He graduated from University Lumière Lyon 2 with a Master's in Finance in 2000.
