MONEY

Bitcoin goes to the exchange

The world's largest derivatives trade platform, Chicago Modern Exchange (CME), already in the fourth quarter of 2017 will launch futures to Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency on this news broke the next historical record, having rise in price to $ 6.4 thousand.

The CME solution will first open the cryptocurrency market for institutional investors who cannot be invested in cryptocurrency as such due to the lack of regulation and high risks. The next step should be the creation of exchange index funds, but, according to Bloomberg forecasts, its coordination with American regulators will take six months to a year.

Before the possible IPO, the main Russian premium retail network "ABC Taste" first revealed its profitability. The gross margin of the network (39.6%) turned out to be a third more than that large Russian retailers - X5 Retail Group, Magnet, and almost twice as much as that of the “tape”. But high operating costs eliminate this gap: EBITDA "ABC" (8.5%) is comparable to the indicator of the discounters, and in Magnit and the Ribbon this indicator is higher. IPO "ABC" can take place in 2018.

How to measure your charisma

Everyone wants to possess charisma, and for the leader this quality is poorly defined - one of the most necessary. The study of psychologists from the Toront University showed that charisma consists of two components - the ability to lead other people and the ability to create a sense of comfort and ease of communication in them. As a result, they developed the easiest test in the world - three questions for each quality - which will allow you to find out in two minutes whether it is worth considering yourself a charismatic.
