""Dark Pools "is a must read for all serious investors. Patterson's
methodically researched book exposes the core problems in today's
securities market, and examines how misguided regulatory shifts and
an ever-increasing "need for speed" in the trading world have
created a more fragile marketplace--one that has left many classes
of investors on a critically uneven playing field. Accurate and
insightful, Patterson's findings should serve as a blueprint for
the SEC, members of Congress and all other regulators who are
serious about achieving true market stability, fairness and
reform."
-Blair Hull, founder of Hull Trading and Ketchum Trading
"In 1945, the average length of time an investor held a stock was
four years. By 2000, it was eight months; in 2008, two months. The
average today is 22 seconds and dropping. Wall Street Journal
reporter Scott Patterson's "Dark Pools" deploys many such
eyebrow-raising stats as it charts the rise of high-frequency
trading.... An entertaining account of the key battles in the "algo
wars" and the colorful math geeks who fight them--some of whom are
now fighting to rein in the monsters they created. Dark Pools is an
alarming account of a market rapidly slipping out of human control,
and a slow-witted regulatory regime unable to keep up." - Canadian
