“Flash Trading” might be no more, happily.

By: Greg Jackson

Flash orders give a number of traders an advantage in the acquisition or sale of their stocks. The advantage is only a flash benefit, but it is enough to get the attention of the SEC.

For the next 60 days, the modification will be up for public statement and could be adopted by the SEC after that time.

Flash orders are one of those things that every now and then occurs in the trading world. They really have started to turn out to be quite a spicy subject on Wall Street though due to people asking questions about justice on the Street.

From MSNBC:
A flash order refers to certain members of exchanges — regularly large businesses — buying and selling news about continuing stock deals milliseconds preceding to that information being made public. A number of big banks and fiscal companies, using high-speed PC programs, can get a immediate, sneak peep at how added investors are trading, giving them a brief peep into the way of the market.

The further rule up for discussion includes more clearness from credit rating companies. For its role in the subprime mortgage chaos, the industry that performs credit ratings has been humiliated. The practices of these businesses (which includes Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and Fitch Ratings) will be able to be viewed by the public and will also be subject to restraints.

It is not reasonable when some businesses have the capability to trade earlier than the general public is allowed to do so. When there are particularly high speed pcs and business information and reports on hand, then of course they will have an tiny advantage. I do not believe that the flash ordering has been precisely helpful to a lot of companies on Wall Street because if you look at how many businesses have performed over the past few months and especially when you look at the previous year, you can tell that they are not exactly doing great. A lot of the banks and financial institutions have only remained open only by the mercy of our taxpayer dollars.

I am happy that they will no longer be assisted by any of the cash that I pay the government. I know that thepublic of the United States is ready to go after the boards of many of these companies because of all the bonuses that they seem to be bringing in every few of months; and I have to agree with the public on this one.

These regulations can be seen at the MSNBC piece of writing I’ve linked below. I would like to see what the SEC does with the general public comments over the next two months. In 60 days, we will see how the economy is doing and I am sure that will have some effect on the SEC’s result as to what it is going to do with the new system.
