I remember reading a few years ago now about how Thomson Reuters and others were experimenting with machine-written articles derived from company regulatory statements. At the same time brokerage houses were looking at machine-reading of online financially-relevant articles to drive automatic stock trades.

Thus stocks could be traded within milliseconds of a market-moving regulatory filing. Maximum speed and minimal human involvement provided the financial advantage although, strangely, the information exchange was in English.

It comes as no surprise that we we face global financial meltdown if profits are dependent upon race conditions within the traders' communications systems. Money for nothing.

If you thought program trading was fast, just wait until Wall Street gets ahold of fast FPGA technology.

This is nothing new. It's being going on for years. It's still a science project for these firms. No real jobs for EEs here. They hire a couple of contractors and give them six months to make them money. You're out on the street if you can't. At the same time, they keep their trading methods secret and don't supply any real requirements. Some of the dumbest people work on Wall Street.

The game is all about taking money from clients and the intentionally misinformed public. Stay far away from these crooks.
