More stupidity.
They should grow a set and get rid of the various ECN’s out there and force all trades back onto public exchanges, where everyone can see them. Get rid of dark pools.
Just make one central public exchange where everyone can see all trades as they’re executed, where everyone can see the depth.
And, I’d also want to see artificial volume banned - ie, get rid of the HFT’s, who are nothing but parasites now. The HFT’s claimed they were providing liquidity, but then the crap hit the fan, they fled and took their “liquidity” with them. If they’re not going to offer liquidity when the crap hits the fan, but only when it suits them, then they’re parasites. Get rid of them and let the true nature of the market shine through — which will be that we’ve seen very low organic volumes for over a year now.
yep, the NY stock casino is rigged by the bankers.
