How JP Morgan & Goldman Sachs made $100 million profit per day in the last quarter?

Here's a clip:

        "Let's say that there is a buyer willing to buy 100,000 shares of Broadcom with a limit price of $26.40. That is, the buyer will accept any price up to $26.40. But the market at this particular moment in time is at $26.10, or thirty cents lower.

        So the computers, having detected via their "flash orders" that there is a desire for Broadcom shares, start to issue tiny "immediate or cancel" orders - IOCs - to sell at $26.20. If that order is "eaten" the computer then issues an order at $26.25, then $26.30, then $26.35, then $26.40. When it tries $26.45 it gets no bite and the order is immediately canceled.

        Now the flush of supply comes at $26.39, and the claim is made that the market has become "more efficient."

        Nonsense; there was no "real seller" at any of these prices! This pattern of offering was intended to do one and only one thing - manipulate the market by discovering what is supposed to be a hidden piece of information - the other side's limit price!

        With normal order queues and flows the person with the limit order would see the offer at $26.20 and might drop his limit. But the computers are so fast that unless you own one of the same speed you have no chance to do this - your order is immediately "raped" at the full limit price!

        The presence of these programs will guarantee huge profits to the banks running them and they also guarantee both that the retail buyers will get screwed as the market will move MUCH faster to the upside than it otherwise would.

        If you're wondering how Goldman Sachs and other "big banks and hedge funds" made all their money this last quarter, now you know."

You would lose control of selling it at a time that works best for you

I think imposing http://www.sec.gov/answers/insider.htm restrictions on every Buy or Sell Order will fix this.
