Economic Recovery or Desperation

DOW posts a near 200 point rally!!!!

Yeah, but it's been dropping up to a hundred points a day the whole week.

We call that VOLATILITY.

i.e.- desperation. Magical Thinking.

in other words: delusion.

Who is profiting here?

the "Giant Squid" with it's millisecond HFT edge and a lot of other professionals.

it's still a closed game for only the Uber-greedy.

Let's see what tomorrow brings us.

the Black Hole of High Frequency Trading

Forget about "Skynet becoming self aware" and the machines taking over.

How HFT's are jacking up and diminishing confidence in the stock market.
