You already see it, and we can beat it.

What is it, 57% of trading on the NYSE is now program trading? On the venerable TSE, you can see the programs kicking in, too. Driving stop loss orders, filling gaps, taking positions after big moves in either direction, making a few bucks here and there.

In the parlance of the founders of LTCM, "scooping nickels" from the world of risk. Until one day, the game changes. I hope we recognize it first, LOL.

Roebear, <<Like Pezz said, the game will go on as gambling seems a permanent human vice>> ... while I agree with Pezz on the basic human inclination to gamble, I am also fearful that the odds will be changing against the speculators, and thus reverting our performance to the nasty mean.
Chugs, Jay
