Borderline criminal, but I agree with you, these ain't free markets, they were not for a long time. -ng- What's HFT, for example? Front running is criminal, HFT is apparently not. Not much of a difference, except technically HFT is front running trades based on "available market information" and thus is not pure illegal front running. No wonder HFT make out like bandits, thou. Once they run out of folks to front run or there are too many front runners, machines start to front run themselves and we get flash crashes -g- Borderline criminal, meaning, the Fed will do what they can get away with? Ditto banks. Only sometimes banks and other boyz cross the border and get caught. Then they have a scapegoat ready, rogue trader or something. There were quite a few strange cases of futures rogue traders around during the market melts of 2007-2008. PPT operations that failed due to lack of liquidity? We'll never know.
