Larry Tabb on High Frequency Trading

In recent months there’s been an active debate about the growth of high frequency trading by Wall Street firms, which has been a key business driver for some data center providers. This video offers some insights on the topic from Larry Tabb of The TABB Group, who has been tracking the evolution of trading technology for many years. “I don’t think we’ll wind up wth regulations banning or limiting high frequency trading,” says Tabb. “It’s very complicated, and I don’t think it’s easy to stop or police.” This video runs about 8 minutes, 45 seconds.
