That's the theory. In practice we know that's not necessarily true. e.g. stop-loss order and the stock gaps down. Did the stop-loss order execute? No, it may have executed as a market order. And that's the point he was trying to make. He's

Marvin8 on that site had a great comment. Here it is: What I'd like to know is what happens to customers who have resting orders near those "fat-finger" trades. If a customer had a sell stop-loss at $583, did he get stopped out of the marke

I don't think Microsoft is playing favorites with OnLive; rather, they are trying to save their hardware "partners" from certain doom since they do not have any such offerings. This would indirectly impact Microsoft itself since OEM licensi

You are right of course. I was thinking a split followed by the announcement of a dividend. In this way hedge funds and index funds can offload some of their AAPL exposure to retail investors who do seek a dividend. I think Apple under Tim

My uninformed opinion is that Apple will either announce a dividend or a stock split. In theory a stock split/reverse-split has no impact on a stock's price movement, but those studies were done in the 90s. More recent studies on various st

Apple recently made an important change in how they operate. Directors must now be voted in by majority. This signals to the market that they are taking their investors seriously. Which means if the majority of investors want a dividend som

Thank you, that was a good summary. From the incident report (PDF) it seems the system chooses either the median or arithmetic mean AOA values. Could the incident have been averted with more robust filtering algorithms?

One thing that web apps lag behind now is the "micropayments" thing. The eponymous "in-app purchase" is a damn sight easier for the end-user to understand and use ("Do you wish to purchase 99 potions for US$0.99?" Yes/No button). Because th

The article didn't mention anything about the difference in "shipped" vs "sold" numbers. Apple's numbers are those that have sold through to customers. So there is not enough information to tell if it's "a material difference". The rest of

Once again the media is derelict in its reporting duties by equating "shipped" as "sold". They are not the same thing.

Wonder what was the price that was paid. Don't think they were given away free (as in beer), otherwise Google executives themselves would face lawsuits. Breach of fiduciary duty and all that.
