For most part of the year, and especialy since the G20 meeting back in april the discussion about regulating some areas of the market as well as offshore fiscal paradise has been going on in order to leveling part of the playing field and subdue the impact of major trading firms acting in concert through various sheme thus having the influence of an oligolipolistic intervention on the market and on some specific stock , financial products or commodities while allowing artificial manipulation of prices and creating and bursting bublles suddenly .
While no one can ever imagine any rules to put everyone at the same level we can still hope some regulations will diminish the wide unfair advantages some players have and give retail investors a chance to participate and take relitively similar risk as other larger participant .
Computer trading and artificial intelligence analysis will still give larger players a wide advantage over the average investors but if coordinated intervention in sinchronicity between major players can be ban from the market then we might see those intervention clash head on some times thus reducing unrealistic leverage impact on some products and reduce the risk of bubbles being built before busting .
Now let's hope the SEC will also be less timid when comes the time to review the like of Madoff prying on investors .
