<Armed with fast computers and sophisticated software, they see themselves not only at the market's epicenter but also on the same plain as professional traders.> <ggG - LOL!> Really. But for the tail wagging the trillions dog (???): ---> On some days, some stocks are moved by frenetic day traders. But one has to ask: How big, or small is the percentage of "volatility" added, when you think of market volatility defined as "portfolio volatility" of all listed & Nasdaq traded stocks. Very small, in my opinion. Sometimes, the dog "wags" the tail a bit more than on the other day, or hour. C.
