Hedge and Mutual Funds and Brokers Battle Markets
'RIGGED' by Wall Street's 'Flash Boys', Highfrequency Trading, Exchanges and Dark Pools"

Knightmare on Wall Street
(http://www.knightmareonwallstreet.com), and will open the door to the secretive world of computerized low-latency trading, the most controversial form of investing today; in the name of protecting the algorithms they have spent so much time perfecting, speed traders almost never talk to the press and try to disclose as little as possible about how they operate.
The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore covers the latest research currently available and reveals how high-frequency trading players are operating in global markets and driving the development of electronic trading at breakneck speeds from the U.S. and Europe to Japan, India, and Brazil.
The "flash crash", the suspended BATS IPO, the botched Facebook IPO, Knight Capital's trading malfunction and NASDAQ's Flash Freeze are just a few of the milestones in the history of high-frequency trading that will be dissected with participants.

    Extraordinary Circumstance Review

    The internet bubble that burst in March, 2000 is followed with much larger and more devastating collapse: Telecom. WorldCom’s financial statements were far worse than expectation that would result in stock price fall, downgrading company and most importantly—losing capital to acquire companies. Then CEO and CFO were planning to change the financial statements with mid-level accountants. They thought if the financial statements were better in next quarter, they could cover the change. But things didn’t go according to plan. They had to change the number until the whistle blew.…

    Robert Rivers BUSI 620 Research Paper Electronic Commerce

    E-commerce has origins that trace back to the mid 1900s. In these times very few organizations had access to the very expensive electronic data interchange (History of E-Commerce, n.d.). The information that was shared over this network gave birth to a new way for business communications and overall global reach. As the years rolled by, advances in communication technology coincided with business transactions as electronic commerce started to take form. The early 1980s saw the creation of communication networks for computers. Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) was introduced during this time and revolutionized the way information was shared and sourced in business (History of E-Commerce, n.d.). This technology was seen in places like Germany and France where the use of phone lines and national broadcast mediums were used (Fletcher, 2002, p. 104). As an initial Business-to-Business (B2B) concept, this communication network had become very popular among household telephone subscribers and was offered as a free service with a subscription (Fletcher, 2002, p. 104). U.S. based Bell telephone companies tried this videotex technology as well but was…

    Several new global trends are particularly shaping business today. No one economy is isolated; US markets are dependent on European and Asian markets and vice versa. Greek debt has an impact on US banks, which in turn not only impact the Greek but also the global economy. The labor force is dealing with multi-cultural issues like serving customers online via phone or Internet from another country. Amidst these trends one of great interest to me is the increasing prominence of developing markets.…

    Crisis Management : Knight Capital

    The magnitude of the crisis was further fueled by Knight’s initial lack-luster response. As a flood of faulty trades were executed that fateful August 1st morning from a Knight Capital trading program, no one at the firm managed to stop it for more than a half-hour. This is critical because in a market of high frequency and speed, trading losses can pile up in seconds. According to unconfirmed reports, alarming messages were sent to Knight managers, who failed to act in time - executives typically have a simple command that can immediately halt trading.…

    Ebay Inc. (a)

    EBAY INC. (A) Gary Bengier, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Operations at eBay, clicked on the send button as he emailed the week's financial update to Pierre Omidyar, the company’s 31-year old chairman. It was September 15, 1998 and Wall Street was still reeling from a summer of severe market volatility. Much of the market's instability could be traced to bearish worries over a deepening and continuing economic crisis in Asia and other developing markets. Many investors feared that the U.S. economy would be unable to resist what was termed the “Asian Flu,” and that economic recession was eminent. Although U.S. interest rates were still low at yields of 4.0 percent for Treasury Bills and 5.6 percent for 30-year Treasury Bonds, the S&P 500 Index was down nearly 13 percent from its all time high set only two months earlier. After bottoming out at the end of August, the stock market had regained some upward momentum but with ongoing high volatility. Internet stocks, however, continued to decline in value. The Internet stock index (ISDEX) was off nearly 40 percent from its mid-July high. Exhibit 1 shows the path of the S&P 500 index and the ISDEX for the past three months, while Exhibit 2 presents the long-term trends in aggregate market volatility. Two months earlier while stock valuations were at record levels, eBay had begun the registration process with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its first public stock sale. Since the market correction, many other companies with initial public offerings (IPOs), such as Internet firms Barnes&Noble.com, uBid, and netValue, Inc., had either canceled or postponed their issues. In fact, the past few weeks had been the quietest month for IPOs since the mid 1970s. Exhibit 3 provides the monthly number of canceled and postponed IPOs in 1998, relative to the number of offerings completed. Some investors speculated that eBay was likely to follow suit and either withdraw or postpone its…

    The Industries Of The Future Alec Ross Analysis

    This ensures the survival of the industry and its competitive development in modern conditions where information is most important. For example, in most factories today robots do a larger number of operations, and there is a possibility that in the future completely replace employees. This could cause various economic problems such as the dismissal of workers. Therefore, the government and companies must pay special attention to this problem. Furthermore, the book talks about the process of globalization and its impact on different aspects of the business and the positive and negative implications of this process. The process of globalization has influenced the creation of unique market, but on the other hand, influenced the decrease in jobs. The former way of doing business is no longer viable in modern conditions. New technologies have led to the development of new ways of communication, new payment methods, etc. Previously it was only possible to pay with cash, later it became possible to use of credit and debit cards. This has contributed to the development of technology. Today, thanks to the development of technology it is possible to pay in real time. It can be documented by the development of different services such as PayPal or a trading platform such as Amazon or eBay. Particular revolution in digital payments is the emergence of Bitcoin. New information and new information and communication technologies create new markets (real or virtual). The book tells about the geography of future markets. The main question is whether under the influence of globalization and information technology will be reached the unification of existing markets, or will come to their division. Creating a currency that can be transmitted in different markets without exchange (e.g. Bitcoin) or new service (e.g. Paypal) shows us that there is one single market, at least virtually. The creation of such a market…
