New
York, NY, USA (September 19, 2014) -- October seems to bring a
lot of surprises for citizens of the Lion City. On October 24,
44-year-old Mariah Carey will perform in Singapore; she has been in
showbiz for more than 25 years and has sold more than 220 million
albums. Just the day before, October 23, 40-year-old author Edgar
Perez will present The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore, "How
Banks, Hedge and Mutual Funds and Brokers Battle Markets 'RIGGED' by
Wall Street's 'Flash Boys', High-frequency Trading, Exchanges and
Dark Pools".
In
an interview with Channel News Asia, Carey revealed the secret to
longevity in the music business. It is her ability to "transcend
trends" and having a whole lot of "commitment", she
said. "Longevity is something that is very difficult to obtain
in this business because a lot of the music business, particularly
now, is about trends. And a trend is a trend because it lasts for a
moment and then it's gone."
"There
are people who transcend trends and typically they are the people who
have a catalogue of songs that people love or a voice that people
have learnt to love over the years, that's just like embedded in
people's ears, brains and hearts like a soundtrack to people's lives.
I really think that we never know who's going to have what type of
longevity. It's really about your commitment to the music and your
commitment to your fans and yourself and how much you are willing to
give up. There are really a lot of talented people out there, it just
depends on how much they want it."
Perez's
The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore

high-frequency trading players are operating in global markets and
driving the development of electronic trading at breakneck speeds
from the U.S. and Europe to Japan, India, and Brazil. The "flash
crash", the suspended BATS IPO, the botched Facebook IPO, Knight
Capital's trading malfunction and Nasdaq's Flash Freeze are just a
few of the milestones in the history of high-frequency trading that
will be dissected with participants coming from all corners of the
financial services landscape.
