Why Investors Willingly Pay Speed Traders Extra Billions When high-frequency traders defend themselves against criticism that they’re screwing up the stock market by distorting prices or making it more volatile, their argument usually goes like this: Yes, but we’ve lowered the costs of trading. Which is true, in a way. The bid-ask spread for many stocks—the difference between what it costs to buy or sell a share—is often just a penny, much narrower than it used to be.
COMMENT FURENT AUTORISES LES PARIS SUR LES FLUCTUATIONS DE PRIX (V) CE QU’IL CONVIENT DE FAIRE MAINTENANT J’ai attendu de disposer d’un texte complet sur l’exception de jeu avant de vous le proposer en cinq livraisons. Certains de vos commentaires relatifs aux épisodes précédents du feuilleton m’encouragent à modifier mon texte, et tout particulièrement la présente conclusion. J’ai cependant préféré – avant d’introduire le moindre changement – vous présenter le texte entier dans sa rédaction originale. Cette partie V débouchera donc sur une version révisée qui intégrera toutes vos observations, y compris celles que vous ne manquerez pas de faire à son propos.

Les paris sur les fluctuations de prix étaient donc interdits en France jusqu’à cette époque.

The fiscal cliff is automatic spending cuts and tax increases in order to reduce the deficit by an insignificant amount over ten years if Congress takes no action itself to cut spending and to raise taxes. In other words, the “fiscal cliff” is going to happen either way. The problem from the standpoint of conventional economics with the fiscal cliff is that it amounts to a double-barrel dose of austerity delivered to a faltering and recessionary economy.
Citigroup’s Chuck Prince confirms that risky behavior drives out Former Citigroup CEO Chuck Prince made what could be considered the most infamous statement of this credit crisis when he said: "as long as the music is playing, you’ve got to get up and dance. We’re still dancing."-Citi Chief on Buyouts: ‘We’re Still Dancing’, DealBook, July 2007 This statement was correctly interpreted as a defense of a reckless disregard for risk. Most pundits at time considered it a simple "everybody’s doing it" kind of statement that you might expect from your unrepentant teenager when he is caught doing something he knows is wrong.
