Scalping .25-.50 moves on this right now is not worth it.

I think it was Goldman Sachs that urged the SEC back in the days to introduce equity futures, citing it would allow big investment banks to manipulate equity futures markets overnight (with little volume) in the direction most profitable for their trading desks. More money for the boyz, no money for us mortal traders. We could all as well give up trading, we're all just cannon fodder for GS and the likes.Quote from myminitrading:
Ah them futures the perfect tool for total manipulation of the stock market.
