Road to Roota XVII

I thought it would be a good time to put the market manipulation problem into a sort of historical context. Below I did a search on the History of Computer Trading and came up with a very interesting list of articles. Almost every one of them alluded to a problem related to abnormal market gyrations blamed on computer trading programs. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a technophobe but is it really possible to have a freely traded market with fair price discovery if over 95% of all trades are run off computers programmed to buy and sell to each other without limit? What ever happened to One buyer and One seller trading One asset in a fair and open exchange?

A few items to consider while pondering this question:

1) Computer trading has been a huge problem for over 20 years and has grown more prevalent and more complex as the technology improved.

2) There are no serious regulatory limitations to computer market trading thus no limitations on computer market rigging.

3) In the past 20 years profits from computer trading/rigging have towered over the profits of honest businesses that produce goods and services. The consequences of this should not be understated including indirectly forcing the exportation of US manufacturing overseas. Computer trading/rigging is an “industry” that produces nothing of economic value for society while absorbing the riches of the nation until there is nothing left. This begs the question…why does any country allow computer market trading if it serves no benefit except to transfer wealth to a select few?

4) Two of the past heads of major market exchanges branched off to start their own private computer trading companies. The first is Bernie Madoff and the second is Vincent Viola. The first is now in jail admitting to the largest financial scam in history and the second is still in business and functioning as a "Market Maker" in almost every market as well as an "Authorized Participant" in the gold and silver ETF's.

5) Alan Greenspan was literally the inventor of Financial Computing and introduced the concept to the US Government which was unfortunately taken over by the Banking Cabal. Although I believe his intentions were honorable, the unintended consequences were obviously detrimental to the vast majority of US Citizens and the reason we find ourselves on the edge of the abyss today.

6) The Goldman Sachs admission that their stolen computer program could “manipulate markets in unfair ways” is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to problems faced when “free markets” and “computer programmed trading” meet in a dark ally.

My Conclusion:

America will die in poverty very soon if Computer Market Manipulation/Trading is allowed to continue.

If we want to SAVE AMERICA we must turn off the computer trading programs for good!
