The article you posted is a good one. And, I'm a firm believer that it's pure market manipulation when you have algorythyms deciding the trades without knowing anything about the companies. I'm glad Congress is finally looking into this.

It's my understanding that over 70% of the big board trades are simply computer generated at this point in time. Computers doing thousands of large trades within minutes are able to make money with relatively sideways movement that the retailer would lose money on.
