Behind-the-scenes Look at Knight Capital's 17 years of Tumultuous
Existence as an Independent Company.
New
York City, NY, USA (August 24, 2013) -- "The issues that
happened yesterday are not about NYSE versus NASDAQ, KCG Holdings
versus Citadel or Goldman Sachs versus Morgan Stanley. This is about
the United States' competitive standing as the world's most
sophisticated financial market, a position it has to keep at all
costs," said Edgar Perez, the celebrated author of The Speed
Traders (http://www.TheSpeedTraders.com)
and Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital
and the Biggest Risk for Financial Markets
(http://www.KnightmareonWallStreet.com),
to CNBC's Squawk On The Street's anchors Kelly Evans and Carl
Quintanilla today. The full interview can be accessed at

As
informed by NASDAQ yesterday, price quotes were not being
disseminated by the Securities Information Processor (SIP) for three
hours. There was a connectivity issue, which led to degradation in
the ability of the SIP to disseminate consolidated quotes and trades.
After the cause of the issue, The Flash Freeze, was identified and
addressed, trading resumed at 3:25PM. While NASDAQ has promised to
work with other exchanges that are members of the SIP to investigate
the issues, their time to self-police has passed.
