Hedge Funds Happy Hour, Best Alternative Investments Networking, (www.HFHappyHour.com), Evenings of Networking and Cocktails around the Globe.

New York City, NY, USA (May 13, 2013) — On May 6th, 2010, the U.S. stock markets experienced an unusual decline (and an immediate upswing) that temporarily erased $1 trillion in market value (the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged about 1000 points) and puzzled both actors and experts following the markets. Electronic trading, like any other area of finance, should have sensible regulations imposed to promote sound trading practices and protect the average American investor. Regulators can restore trust in the market without eliminating high-speed trading. They simply must be armed to analyze trading activity in real time. What has been the progress so far since the Flash Crash?
