On Monday, Nov. 19, NASDAQ OMX CEO Bob Greifeld delivered a keynote address at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. on the "fiscal cliff" and its impact on the capital markets. In his remarks, Mr Greifeld compares the U.S. debt and deficit to cancer: "it's spreading, we know the effects, but we're in denial." He believes that it's time for the industry to get off the sidelines and take action on this issue. http://ow.ly/fBmtm
