The New York Times has an excellent article on the digitizing of open-outcry trading pits. It briefly covers the vanishing role of human interaction in markets as trading pits all over the world replace humans with computers. Although all-electronic exchanges can operate 24-hours a day and handle significantly more volume, how will they respond in a crisis situation? Exchanges are running a real-time live experiment in this area, and they won’t have to wait too long to find out. Quantitative trading strategies running against each other on electronic exchanges…is this the rise of the financial robots?

This is a blog about investing. and other interesting topics in the financial spectrum. including the misadventures that happen in the daily course of these pursuits. At this point I haven’t decided on my angle but I am sure that I will find it over the course of my first few months here. I’m also planning to add a podcast, or perhaps even a videocast if I feel so inclined.
