Oh, Ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the Schaefer's market mashup podcast.

Took a week off I think I'm excused, it was my birthday,

but we're back with a vengeance now.

I have Michael Azaki, Cebo Global Markets,

he's the vice president of Derivatives Strategy. We have a great talk about

Vic's mini futures. I hope you enjoy it.

Welcome Michael, glad to have you on.

Thank you very much, I appreciate that, and happy boy to birthday.

Ah, thank you. 31, not very fun.

Walk me through your career at Cebo and your role in the investing world and give me kind of a snapshot of what you've been through. Sure. So I started out in the industry as an options trader at O'Connor and Associates and I spent several years as a bank

trader and a portfolio manager.

I really focused on FXrievents.

I did that for just sort of a decade and then when I moved over to the buy side I started a

derivatives prison analytics firm called FT options and in the beginning of

February of 2020 CMO acquired the business of FT options, the attention to further build

out our information solutions out for it.

So my work within CBO primarily focuses on capital, and product strategy.

I'm very happy to do with you today.

Interesting.

So product strategy, yeah, I like that.

I think that's gonna give some interesting insight

that I haven't had before with people on.
