A Father Of High-Speed Trading Thinks We Should Slow Down. ⇒

This episode of Planet Money is pretty fascinating, even if you aren’t interested in economics and finance. They interview Thomas Peterffy, one of the first guys to use computers to trade stocks and options. He was using computers back in the 70s, when you couldn’t even do computer based trading.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
