<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1583237, member: 29012&quot;]I was slightly off the mark, you said &quot;non-traditional investors&quot; on the previous page <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> but you are right to make the distinction between algorithms being used for technical trading vs. being used to make markets. There is a lot of potential with this technology, and I will give you some ground on this one since just because they account for 90% of trading doesn&#039;t mean that some portion of that doesn&#039;t represent fundamental trades. This one is a gray area, and I think it just depends on the market. If all the shoeshine boys are selling their government bonds, the Fed will just backstop them anyway. Apple on the other hand has had an explosion due to both the shoeshine boys and the algos, and is far more susceptible. Other governments in the East are backstopping their stock markets with QE, so it stands to reason that could happen here too, but I don&#039;t think that would be on a per stock basis.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
