The article is technical and mostly over my head. I did understand some of it and definitely understood the small portion below. The problem is that most of us do not have the knowledge AND fore knowledge as well as the technical ultra-high speed equipment along with the rest of the required 'marbles' needed to be able to 'play' in their back yard.

I am a slow learner when it comes to the technical things that are way over my head but I am not a slow learner when it comes to people and what they are capable of doing. Perhaps, if I park my own potential greed and become grateful for a nice gain instead of trying to 'hit the highs and vice versa with respect to the lows, I can 'play' somewhat safely and not get picked off or shot out of the saddle as easily as I have been in the past.

Best regards,

Jerry Francis

"Buying stocks used to be about long-term value, doing your research and finding the company that you thought had good prospects. Maybe it had a product that you liked the look of, or perhaps a solid management team. Increasingly such real value is becoming irrelevant. The contest is now between the machines — and they’re playing games with real businesses and real people". Monty Guild.
