Dark Pool Trading

When assessing the economic damage to due to Paul Thayer and those that he tipped off about the acquisition of Campbell Taggart, it should be noted that some argue that this kind of insider trading circulates information and forces the stock to its “true value.” If we assume this argument to be flawed, then part of Anheuser-Busch stock dip after the announcement was due to the insider trading and the fact Anheuser-Busch probably paid more to acquire its target. Thayer and his friends trade the Campbell stock for nearly a month before any public announcement of the merger. On July 27 nearly half the volume was insider volume controlled by those individuals who were in violation of rule 14(e)-3 (See exhibit 2). The increased volume might

In the late 1990’s, the internet became a staple of society, a new “fad” that became integrated into modern culture. As more and more information was uploaded to this repository, data hubs formed, often around illegal materials such as copies of music and movie files. In 2001, a man named Ian Clarke revolutionized the internet by introducing “Freenet,” a service that allowed for anonymous access to the darkest reaches of the web, filled with illegal files that encompassed everything from movie torrents to child porn. (McCormick N.P.) With the creation of Freenet, Clarke changed the world by giving internet users access to the forbidden depths of the internet now dubbed the Dark Web.

In recent years, computerized trading has dramatically altered in financial market. High frequency trading (HFT), a type of algorithmic trading, can make significant profits within microseconds. Increasing competition between securities companies and ever-advancing technology has allowed high frequency trading to dominate global financial market. About 10 to 70 percent of the order volume in stock and derivatives trading are based on HFT. (Lattemann, 2012). There has been considerable debate about whether HFT is advantageous or disadvantageous to financial systems. This essay will evaluate the two positions and attempt to offer solutions to the problems of HFT which are focused on seven impacts: liquidity, volatility, price discovery,

In addition to the price improvement benefits, dark pools have also been touted to improve the level of service in the market by introducing competition to traditional exchanges (10). This can be interpreted as a good sign by the government and regulators as increased competition translates into more benefits for the consumers and a more dynamic marketplace. An implication of this is that dark pools have forced stock exchanges to introduce more technological innovations and operating their own dark pools to compete, providing more choice to the consumers (5). Contrary to common perception that dark pools harm price discovery, Haoxiang Zhu, a financial Economist at MIT Sloan School of Management mentions that dark pools actually aid the process of price discovery (9). According to (9), Zhu’s paper shows that dark pools attract less informed traders who force better informed traders whom may not be able to fill their orders back to public exchanges, resulting in a higher concentration of informed traders contributing to the price discovery process. This promotes market

As appeared in Fig. 2, an information authority gathers information from information suppliers keeping in mind the end goal to bolster the consequent information mining operations. The first information gathered from information suppliers as a rule contain touchy data about people. On the off chance that the information authority doesn't take adequate precautionary measures before discharging the information to open or information diggers, those touchy data may be uncovered, despite the fact that this is not the gatherer's unique goal. For instance, on October 2, 2006, the U.S. online film rental administration Netix14 discharged an information set containing motion picture appraisals of 500,000

Dark pools get their name from that the details of the trade are concealed from the public. Dark pools is a term for private forums or exchanges for trading securities, they are not accessible by the investigating public and therefore they lack transparency. Dark pools gives the opportunity to facilitate block trading between institutional investors who don’t want to impact the market price with their large orders which could consequence the price of the trades.

The deep web is a network infrastructure that is set in a mesh topology, much like the surface web. The difference between the dark web and the surface web is the content, internet protocols and users. Most of the information that is served through the dark net is illegal. Law enforcement is working on coming up with better ways to track and shut down certain sites offering services such as red rooms, but their efforts are falling short because the number of criminals that are working together to keep the illegal content anonymous on the dark net.

The Deep Dark Web. The term conjures up dark images of criminal masterminds scheming to usurp law enforcement, using technology as a platform to perpetrate crimes. However, as nefarious as the term sounds, the Deep Web is nothing more than a collection of websites that are not indexed, or otherwise easily accessible by traditional search engines. This is to say that you cannot effectively navigate to a site located in the Deep Web via a traditional Google search. The pages which are indexed and accessible via traditional internet browsers exist on the World Wide Web. For every one page that is indexed and searchable on the World Wide Web, there are 3000 which are not; these pages exist in the Deep Web (Bergman, 2001, para. 5).

There is a severe variation of capital at risk of high frequency trading when compared to capita at risk for institutional investors as noted by KF&Y. Capital at risk is the total amount of capital that an organization deploys in all of its market positions at any specific point of time, as defined by IRRC institute. A high frequency trader generally keeps its capital at risk negligible. Although, HFT companies contributes for nearly 65% by volume in equities, their capital risk is small. On the other hand, the institutional investors or non- high frequency traders amount to a larger market ownership, more than 64% at the end of 2009. The hypothesis is that a small percentage of minority ownership

Political and legal factors are those controlled by ‘governments, local authorities, or other trade or activity orientated regulatory bodies' (Brassington and Pettitt, 2000). Gambling legislation is put in place in order to prevent consumers been taken advantage and also help control consumers with gambling problems. The internet is open to great abuse in all areas of the internet and gambling is no exception. Within five minutes it is possible to be gambling on the internet at as high stakes as one desires, this obviously has its dangers. Companies have recently been pushed to be more responsible for caring for their customers. Some of the companies now have a system which its customers can use. The system offers the customer control of how much they can deposit in a designated time period, this helps the customers control their spending. Though this may affect profits for a company, it gives the impression that they care for their customers, which promotes their company. The laws for online gambling are reasonably relaxed and with it been a worldwide market that anyone from any country can access it is hard to control such a market. There have been recent worries about illegal gambling carried out on Betfair with trainers and owners regarding the running of a horse to lose. Many bets would be taken on the specific horse resulting

Trading is one of the biggest professions around the world. Stock exchange markets are growing each day and the companies and people alike are busy in the selling or buying of stocks all around the world. The usual timing for the stock exchange is usually for about six and a half hours in a day, around the world, for five days of the week. Yet, there is after hours trading. This is the kind of trading which takes place after the normal working hours, where buying and selling of stocks can take place, without being officially through the stock market exchange.
