New
York City, NY, USA (May 10, 2013) -- On May 6th, 2010, the U.S.
stock markets experienced an unusual decline (and an immediate
upswing) that temporarily erased $1 trillion in market value (the Dow
Jones Industrial Average plunged about 1000 points) and puzzled both
actors and experts following the markets. Fast forward two years and
we find a twit from the Associated Press with supposedly breaking
news that President Obama was injured due to explosions at the White
House. That report made $136 billion in market value temporarily
disappear, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average quickly dropping 150
points before swinging back.
Electronic
trading, like any other area of finance, should have sensible
regulations imposed to promote sound trading practices and protect
the average American investor. Regulators can restore trust in the
market without eliminating high-speed trading. They simply must be
armed to analyze trading activity in real time. What has been the
progress so far since the Flash Crash?
Practitioners
are invited to join Edgar Perez for an insightful talk on "Still
Waiting on Real Time Regulation 3 Years after Flash Crash", at
