dog, I have a political question about Algos on Wall Street.
Presidential candidates on both sides have gotten attention by talking about Wall Street, and the danger of corruption in that system.
So, shorting is a tool for providing liquidity in the market, and it seems that "Hedge funds" take advantage of this by using algos.("because there are two many manipulators and computer programs that don't give a $hit what a company does.") This gives the users of this, the ability to effect the markets, instead of the actual health and real world circumstances of a companies prospects.
What is the single most effective thing a president or congress could do to stop the so called "abuses" on Wall Street? And, if they did, what negative/positive effects would it have on the stock markets?
