Edgar Perez, Author, The Speed Traders: An Insider's Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, Published by in English by McGraw-Hill Inc. (2011), Mandarin by China Financial Publishing House (2012), and Bahasa Indonesia by Kompas Gramedia (2012) and Course Director, The Speed Traders Workshop 2012 (Hong Kong, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Warsaw, Kiev, Beijing and Shanghai).

New York City, NY, USA (June 13, 2013) -- Reviews at Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0071768289) predominantly offer top ratings for The Speed Traders (http://www.TheSpeedTraders.com) by Edgar Perez, a global speaker on high-frequency trading; "The Speed Traders is a clear and informative read that can be useful to both seasoned industry professionals and those who are only exploring the financial industry."

"One of the least explained areas of finance is high frequency trading and Edgar Perez's book, The Speed Traders, gives an extensive overview of this topic. The insightful descriptions of the daily activities of the market and their role in the lives of securities dealers allow it to reveal the methods that traders use. The book utilizes interviews with recognized industry professionals and a timeline of the evolution of speed trading to provide the reader with a great idea on what speed trading is and how to use it. Some of the major focusing points of the book are the modern applications of speed trading. These applications are not only explained through examples and interviews but also in a clear way that excludes confusing industry jargon and paints a clear picture of the topic at hand."

"The Speed Traders, written by Edgar Perez, offers cutting-edge intelligence on the relatively concealed industry of High-Frequency-Trading. The substantial foundation of HFT is laid out and combined with thorough interviews to make sense of the complicated technicalities in HFT. Perez gives the whole picture by critically defining HFT, charting its inconspicuous emanation into the securities market, breaking down the flash crash of 2010, forecasting the indisputable role that HFT will play in the financial world, and perhaps most importantly, walking the reader through 6 different evaluations with actual high frequency traders. The interviews were the most valuable asset in making this industry understandable. The first person narrative is key because it's easy to comprehend and relatively scarce in current literature for many reasons, two of which are that traders are reluctant to disclose strategies on generating alpha and the barriers of entry to the HFT industry are so high that there is only a limited amount of traders that actually know what they are talking about."

Perez is widely regarded as the preeminent global expert in the specialized area of high-frequency trading. He is author of The Speed Traders, An Insider's Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, published in English by McGraw-Hill Inc. (2011), in Mandarin by China Financial Publishing House (2012) and currently being translated into Bahasa Indonesia and Portuguese.

The Speed Traders, published by McGraw-Hill Inc., is the most comprehensive, revealing work available on the most important development in trading in generations. High-frequency trading will no doubt play an ever larger role as computer technology advances and the global exchanges embrace fast electronic access. The Speed Traders explains everything there is to know about how today's high-frequency traders make millions-one cent at a time. In this new title, The Speed Traders, Perez opens the door to the secretive world of high-frequency trading. Inside, prominent figures drop their guard and speak with unprecedented candidness about their trade. He contributes regularly to China's International Finance News.

Perez has been engaged to present to the Council on Foreign Relations, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (Washington DC), CFA Singapore, Hong Kong Securities Institute, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, University of International Business and Economics (Beijing), Hult International Business School (Shanghai) and Pace University (New York), among other public and private institutions.

NanoMarkets Issues New Report on Opportunities for Smart Windows

NanoMarkets today announced the release of its new report, "Worldwide Smart Windows Markets 2013-2020."

Glen Allen, Virginia - June 13, 2013 -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced the release of its new report, "Worldwide Smart Windows Markets 2013-2020." This report analyzes and forecasts opportunities for smart (self-dimming) windows in residential buildings, commercial real estate, automobiles and trucks, aircraft and public transportation. It also includes more than 70 exhibits providing detailed market projections - in both value and volume (square meters) terms -- with breakouts by technology and applications. Technology coverage includes: passive retrofit films, thermochromics, and photochromics, along with PDLC, SPD and electrochromics. Both film and glass products are included.

Firms mention in the report include: 3M, Asahi Glass, Audi, BMW, Boeing, Cardinal, Chromogenics, Corning, DuPont, DuPont Teijin, Garware, Guardian, Gentex, GKN, GlasNovations, Glassonice, Innovative Glass, InvisiShade, LTI, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, NSG/Pilkington, Pleotint, Polytronix, PPG, Pro Display, RavenBrick, Research Frontiers, Sage, Saint-Gobain, Samsung, Scienstry, Sekisui, SKC, SmartGlass, Solutia/Eastman Chemical, Schott, SPD Control Systems, SwitchLite, Switch Materials, Toray, US e-Chromics, Velux, View, Vision Systems, Volkswagen, Xinology and Zeledyne.

NanoMarkets estimates that the market for smart windows is about $2.3 billion today, growing to $4.7 billion by 2018 and $5.3 billion by 2020.

Additional details about the report are available at: http://www.nanomarkets.net

The firm has announced that it will be co-hosting a webinar on Smart Windows with the FlexTech Alliance on Wednesday, June 26th of this month. Persons interested in registering to attend may do so at https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/519180638

From the Report:

- NanoMarkets' research indicates that smart windows still have to overcome a perception problem. Many Architects and construction firms still tend to view smart windows as expensive and low performing. Another trap for smart windows companies is misreading the recovery in the real estate markets around the world. This may turn out to be temporary. If so smart windows firms may overinvest and see a rapid decline in profitability if real estate markets go into a slump again.

- NanoMarkets believes that the fastest growing market for smart windows over the period being considered will be for active smart window glass. This is already a substantial market - just over $1 billion - and is expected to reach $2.7 billion by 2018. Active glass windows combines the transparency of glass with full control of both light and heat and can be used both for buildings and vehicles.

- While the US will continue to be the largest market for smart windows, China is where the greatest growth opportunities in the smart windows sector will be found. Currently the market for smart windows in China is around $285 million, growing to $740 million in 2018. Many of the new commercial buildings in China are LEED-certified, making them very suitable for smart windows use. Also, these buildings are designed by large Western architectural firms with a strong familiarity with smart windows. In addition, the Chinese market for luxury cars - the kind of car most likely to use smart windows -- is growing fast and will soon overtake the U.S. market. We expect that by 2020, China will account for 23.8 percent of the smart windows market in cars and light automobile vehicles followed by the US at 21.8 percent. It also seems likely that as smart windows technology is transferred to China, new Chinese smart windows firms will begin to emerge.

About NanoMarkets:
NanoMarkets tracks and analyzes emerging market opportunities in solid-state lighting, energy, electronics and other markets created by developments in advanced materials. The firm is a recognized leader in industry analysis and forecasts of this kind and has been covering the smart glass space for more than five years.
