With rumors flying of an errant "fat finger" that pushed a "b" for billion versus "m" for million in front of a trading keyboard, a key question has emerged: "Was yesterday's historic market collapse, at least in part, fueled by the rise of the machines?" as Henry asks in the accompanying segment. Electronic trading "had a role, but I don't think it had front and center" in causing the market collapse, says our guest Mark T. Williams, a Boston University professor and expert in risk management. Bizarre stock movements The government including the SEC and CFTC ...

The iPads immediate popularity - over 2 million sold - has many in the tech world wondering if this spells the end of the PC as we know it. Earlier this month, at the All Things D Conference , Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and Apple CEO Steve Jobs indirectly exchanged barbs over the future of personal computing and who controls it. "PCs are going to be like trucks," according to Jobs; i.e., they will be popular but not ubiquitous. To that, Ballmer quipped: "There may be a reason why they call them Mack Trucks," suggesting Windows machines will remain dominant. Chris Anderson editor-in-chief of Wired says there ...

From fears of economic Armageddon just a year ago, to expectations of a V-shaped recovery just a few months ago, the U.S. economy now sits at an uneasy crossroads. But other than the perception of the economy's strength, not much has really changed, according to Gary Shilling of A. Gary Shilling & Co. It's much easier to declare the recovery "robust" when stocks rally the way they did from March 2009 to April 2010, Shilling tells Henry in the accompanying clip. But the recent troubles in Europe and the subsequent downward shift in the market have changed the ... Read More

My soon-to-be seventy year old father called me around dinnertime on Saturday. He was having a problem adding some text to his website, he said, and wanted me to take a look at it. This is one of those rare times in our father-son relationship when he is willing to give up the position of authority and take direct instructions from his progeny. While I was fiddling with the HTML code to get the new text out of the footer of his site and into the body of the page where it belonged, he casually mentioned “I’m thinking about adding a video.” Which means that the announcement Cisco made last night about its new ...

I'm glad the middle class is outraged. It's about time! We should not be responsible for saving the lifestyle of these rich Wall Street billionairs. Why shouldn't they have soup for dinner instead of caviar? The Federal Reserve System. Created in 1910, codified by Congress in 1913 (along with the personal income tax), this "system" facilitated the US government's ability to inflame the nation's citizens for the purpose of supporting the European war of 1914-1918 (World War I). Warfare provides a source of immense borrowing and provides banking corporations with an unparalleled source of ...

When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion — when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing — when you see money flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors — when you see that men get richer by graft and pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you — when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice — you may know that your society is doomed. Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged, page 413 How Banks Are Worsening the Foreclosure Crisis : ...

Todd was on Yahoo's Tech Ticker this morning discussing his view that the current market calm is simply the eye of the financial storm. Like many others in the world of finance, including George Soros, he believes that the subprime implosion of 2007-2008 was only the opening act of the financial crisis and there's more to come. The timing of the second phase is still unknow, however it's only a matter of time as government policy has been to mask the symptoms rather than cure the disease. See the full interview below. No positions in stocks mentioned. Todd Harrison is the founder and Chief Executive ...

A lot of people like to criticize those of us who attempt to give warnings about what the future may hold with regards to the markets and economy. I know I speak with experience in this as I was ridiculed in late 2007 for stating a new bear market was upon us. And again when I called the rally in the Spring of 2008 a ‘bear market rally’, that would end with further downward moves in the market. Throughout the bear market rally which began in March of 2009 a few of us market technicians continued to warn that this was not the start of a new bull market, but instead it was another ‘bear market rally’ that ...

Mods, please delete if TOS violation, but as all of us on WebmasterWorld are so obsessed with Google, I found the following video quite interesting. Basically, the video delivers a Wall Street take on Google's "Do no evil" philosophy - I found it quite entertaining that so far Google has the reputation of blowing off Wall Street's conventions and expectations.
