Let’s review the acceleration of the stock market. Computerized trading between humans. Computers trading with humans. Computers trading with computers. Now, computers trading because of humans – and their tweets. It appears that bots (or has the digital consciousness awoken) are reading tweets and trading faster than humans. Money is being made on the market through rapidly executed options. Someone is making money with no effort after launching the bots. Does this unleveling of the playing field inspire reform, or a passive acceptance of another inequity in equities?
