If you're the HFT house that's using baby E*Trade as a baby powder scented butt wipe, you just made some (more) jingle for the jeans.

"Most people think it's funny if you dress a stuntman up as a little old lady, put him in a wheel chair and roll him down a hill face first into a wall. A comedian thinks its funny if it is a real little old lady."    Carl Reiner

Cute, but I am waiting until the HFT and quants are making street pizza out of themselves before I am really amused.

This is soooooooooo true!!  I was logged on during the flash crash and could not book a trade long or short to save my ass.  I'm still laughing at the irony of this and would NEVER trust E-Trade to act in a crisis.

I was online with my broker watching my VIX shares take off like a homesick angel - the pain, the incredulous, awe strucked panic and denial in his voice still makes me smile.  We don't talk much anymore - he's a permabull and when asked about anything - anything ZH sheds light on, he's fucking clueless - doesn't know and doesn't care cause markets going up.....and thats good, right?!
