High-frequency trading raises concerns at SEC [Washington Post]

Thu, 23 Feb 2012 04:21:22 GMT - High Frequency Trading Review

By David S. Hilzenrath

The chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission is worried about the rise of high-frequency trading, but two years after the agency flagged the phenomenon as a potential problem, Chairman Mary L. Schapiro says regulators still don’t know enough to do much more about it.

High-frequency trading, which is practiced by hedge funds and other technologically turbocharged investors, involves the purchase and sale of large volumes of shares in tiny fractions of a second, often to exploit fleeting inconsistencies in the markets.
