Linkfest: Dark pools and HFT; Oracle of Omaha less oracular; Small caps overpriced?
Categories: Linkfest
Today’s most shared:
- Dark pools, which individuals can’t trade on, seen tilting the playing field more than HFT.
- Warren Buffett hasn’t had a great five years since the crisis.
- Are small caps overpriced?
- 40% of Americans couldn’t come up with $2000 in a crisis.
- Labor force participation is declining as the population ages. But why is it also decreasing, slightly, for prime age males? Does education and temperament leave them unprepared?
- When the ducks are quacking, feed them… rising asset prices bring forth securities supply.

There may be a more serious threat to investors than HFT: the increasing amount of trading that happens outside of exchanges.

Basically, no one knows if HFT is good or bad. There are two reasons for this. The first is that no one really knows what HFT does to markets. The second is that no one really knows what is good or bad for markets.
