SIDE BAR WITH BILL SINGER
Are Human Beings Obsolete On Wall Street?
Is there still room on the floors, in the pits, and at the trading screens for human beings. Should we fear the inroads of high frequency trading and algorithms, or embrace those paths as modern Wall Street on- and off-ramps? Watch Side Bar With Bill Singer as Bill Singer and Shah Gilani explore HFT and debate its pros and cons. It's two old warhorses, Wall Street veterans, grousing and crossing swords.
Shah Gilani is the General Partner of AFQR FX Strategies hedge fund. He is also the author of:
- The Capital Wave Forecast and Spin Trader newsletters, and
- the Wall Street Insights & Indictments e-letter; and
- Forbes.com What Moves Markets blog.
