"The U.S. stock market is rigged when
high-frequency traders with advanced computers make tens of billions of dollars
by jumping in front of investors, according to author Michael Lewis, who spent
the past year researching the topic for his new book “Flash Boys.”
"While speed traders’ strategies,
developed over the past decade with help from exchanges, are legal, “it’s just
nuts” that they’re allowed, Lewis said during an interview televised yesterday
on CBS Corp.’s “60 Minutes.” The tactics are too complicated for individual
investors to understand, he said."
