<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1502413, member: 22143&quot;]Sounds as if a big investment house Knight Capital, installed a faulty HFT trading algorithm yesterday that ended up erasing ~ 1/2 Billion of the firm&#039;s capital via trades in the market.&nbsp; During this episode the prices of stocks went all over the place and now the NYSE finds that it might have to cancel some trades but let others stand.&nbsp;&nbsp; Knight may also go down the toilet as well if they don&#039;t get some sort of bailout.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is why that confidence in the stock market, as being a true barometer and capital generator for the real economy, is being destroyed.&nbsp; Play in this at your own risk but IMO, the small guy has no chance now in this environment.&nbsp;&nbsp; There is no way to judge risk anymore.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
