    "Clear cut case of speeding and the guy even collected his own evidence."

  24. Re:Predatory investing? on Flash Mobs of Trading Robots Coalescing To Rule Markets · · Score: 1

    This is trading, not investment. There's quite the good possibility that these accounts are flat at close. If they are trading or making market, they provide liquidity. As long as the exchange is capable of providing orderly processing where bids / asks are filled at best or most current pricing, limit orders will protect the human. For most, buying and selling at market gives the sharks the advantage, and can be just plain stupid.
