They were short HP.

are you fucking serious or just trolling?

Volume on these down moves is telling - we are moving up big over the next 2-3 months.

I have. They're all op-ed pieces that push more opinion on how things work in some la-la land they make-up throughout the course of the article with assumptions. Instead of operating on facts these types of articles draw conclusions from assumptions they rationalize throughout the article...

I'm calling a market bottom right now when a non-news publication comes out with an article on the horrors of HFT that gets traction with the public.

You are a douche-bag - anyone you think that makes money in the market must either be: -a crook -front-running -evil -part of some new-world-order -breaks the rules What do you do for a living?

They do it because they know more and have more information than you or I.

Whoa! This trading halt has been in place for years! WHoa!

yes. they are the next to be outsourced.

Spare me your diatribes about righteous indignation; the fact that you can't see how relevant my comments are speaks volumes. Let me simplify it for you: if you don't like the exchange rules trade elsewhere. If you want to change the rules get enough money to buy exchange seats and work to...

The result of whatever happened was a loss of liquidity. Personally, based on what I know, a lot of the algos hit their circuit breakers and unwound intra-day positions based on the price-action of that particular day. I remember thinking earlier in the day that volume was much higher than...

This event wasn't a fast market, it was a market in free-fall. The bids disappeared off arca. Trading in a fast market is easy with system help, in a free-fall like this no one can have an expectation of correctness. I agree the exchanges broke-down, but that doesn't mean that people get to...

By "pre-defined" I mean they had the ability to do this. So they chose 60% - who the fuck cares; according to the exchange rules they are allowed to do that. If you didn't see this possible outcome ahead of time then stop trading now or clear trades somewhere else. They likely chose the...

Your complaints aren't legitimate. Trades were busted according to pre-defined market rules. By using exchanges you agree to their rules. Period. End of story. If you don't like the rules, drive over to the seller's house/office and do the trade there.

It doesn't change the fact that the rules are the way they are. Don't like them? Get them changed or don't play, but for god sakes quit bitching. And you know what? They ARE fair to most participants. The only people I see complaining are the ones that are ignorant. The only way your...

This is why the exchanges have rules, like when material news is released trading in a stock can be halted during the release. The exchanges have done exactly what their rules say they should do. The only people I see complaining are the ones who are inexperienced and don't know all the...

Then he shouldn't sell on an exchange that has rules that will bust the trade. The seller should then drive over to the buyer's house/office and do the transaction there.

Not all banks needed a bailout. All the large ones, however, were forced to take one.

for fucks sake, it's been defined for YEARS! read the damn exchange rules and policies.

You should have known the exchange's rules before you put money in. It's no one's fault except your own.
