How HFT Has Killed Market Basics - UrbanSurvival

How HFT Has Killed Market Basics - UrbanSurvival



Just one example in this great article: 



Say you enter an order to buy 100 shares of XYZ.  The trading house
you’re with might buy 1,000 shares for a fraction of a second – just
long enough to drive the price up.  Depending on machine speeds, another
outfit notices the price and buys 1,000 shares, too.  And a third,
perhaps.

By the time your poor order for 100 shares is actually “filled” what
happens?  You pay a fraction of a cent more.  Regulators don’t care
because they view it as “petty crime” but it happens millions of times
per day so it adds up.

God Hates Master Race Idea. Donald Trump Embraces It

Image
This article was published, by me, at Newcovenanttheology.com. It is important in order to clear the air about master race ideas:

1. God hates the master race concept. Christians believe that Satan works among all leaders of the physical nations. However, the doctrine that is most Satanic is the one that proposes there is a master race. Donald Trump believes he is part of a master race, that he has the master race gene, through possessing German Blood. This is pure Satan. If you vote for Satan, it is your right, but you are putting the nation in grave danger. 

So Trump said from the video:

A. He has a certain gene. 
B. He has a winning gene.
C. He has German Blood.
D. He has the right genes. (Others must have the wrong genes.)

If you put the three of these statements together, along with a statement from his exwife that he kept a copy of Hitler's Mein Kampf on his nightstand, there is no other conclusion than he believes he has the master race gene. There is no other possible conclusio…

Donald Trump Will Grope Ann Coulter to Show Fairness

Image
Donald Trump has come out saying he doesn't like flat chested women, who are on the skinny side. He likes voluptuous women and has stated so on Howard Stern. He regrets this statement deeply and wants to make amends.

So, in order to show that he is not sexist and is willing to treat all women fairly, he has decided to grope Ann Coulter, the conservative pundit who has been supporting him all along. He figures that at least flat chested girls will feel a little better if he goes ahead with this. He has not decided whether to do this deed on Saturday Night Live, at a press conference or at a debate.

Trump may even do a reality show if he can piece it together before the election. He is good at piecing. Or at least he brags that he likes interacting piecemeal. Well, something like that.


Trump is trying to kill two birds with one stone. First, as I said, he wants to show he likes all body types. Second, he wants people to know he likes adult women. He wants to minimize that Howard S…
