Remember LTCM A.K.A. LONG TERM CAPITAL MANAGEMENT? They were puter trading too....until they went bust. Today equity volumes are very very low, so the FEW quants are merely passing the hot potatoes among EACH OTHER trying to entice sidelined capital to reenter the stock market..... equities prices aren't real or priced to perfection when a small group of HFT A.K.A. HIGH FREQUENCY TRADERS account for 80% of volume. |
