New
York, NY, USA (August 25, 2014) -- High-frequency trading
provides market liquidity, and that's good for individual investors.
Some say it's unfair because a few very smart people are making money
doing it. Rick Ferri, founder of Portfolio Solutions LLC, disagrees
Competition will take care of that, he says. In his view, as long as
this method of stock trading can be done by anyone with the resources
to participate, and if the process leads to lower overall trading
costs for investors, then he is all for it.
How
does Edgar Perez, author of Knightmare on Wall Street
(http://www.knightmareonwallstreet.com)
analyze the situation? Mr. Perez will open the door to the secretive
world of computerized low-latency trading, the most controversial
form of investing today; at The Speed Traders Workshop 2014
