Joe Raia, Thomas McMahon, & Russell Robertson from the Abaxx Team

“The reality is we are a commodity and financially dependent world. And the more risk and the more volatility that we have, the more need there is for hedging instruments to be created.”
Thomas McMahon, Co-Founder of Abaxx Technologies

Presented by Abaxx Technologies

On the second installment of our Summer Playlist this week, we welcome Thomas McMahon, Joe Raia, and Russell Robertson into the SmarterMarkets™ studio.
