I find it funny that the Mulligan calls happen on down days.

Talk about front running, if there were big orders on those stocks in the morning whoever had the order flow information all morning knew the future.

NYSE WOPR: Greetings Dr. Falkin. Do you want to play a game?

JOSHUA: Global Thermo Nuclear Trading

WOPR: Interesting game... the only winning move is not to play.

I'd expect if the computers turn around in sentiment, there will be political will to place capital controls in.  Curbs, short limits, Algo trading is going to be banned, trading holidays, who knows.

It's a healthy market, see?  It only moves up.
