Zeev, I don't see this as a political question.

GS, I think it is something to ponder. In my opinion, I think the top seven NYSE member banks in program trading, that control probably close to 45% of all trades in S&P stocks, could either give us easily a few good or bad weeks prior to the election.

Today's levels of program trading are very scary IMO.
