Check out Farley and his take on the stinking black boxes

sorry, farley's got a decent head on his shoulders (unlike most of the people at TSCM) but he's dead wrong on this point.

the uptick rule is NOT responsible for anything.

black boxes, on the other hand, are generally two ways: trend following or contra-trend. and they're just what people program into them.
 
Quote from sprstpd:

This article doesn't even mention that we are going through arguably the biggest financial crisis of our times. Without this context, his argument seems meaningless to me. And if you can't compete in the market you are given, hit the road. Stop whining about it and also don't blame the changing market structure because it will always be changing. Adapt or die.

farly's a pin head

that was spot on-collusion by the big traders-its not called investing-its straight up robbery for the little guys-the bots are created to steal (real investors)money-by way of shock and awe with their trading bots-we all need R2D2's to compete!you know they are spending millions if not billions on these fancy trading programs-but when you are a big institution you pay very little if any money because of how much volume they create in the (not free) marketplace-that is why i am cash-costa rica properties lookin good lewis :)

Nobody is forcing "real investors" to go against the bots. You don't like, don't invest. Put your money into costa rica properties.
