WASHINGTON - A trading firm's use of a computer sell order triggered the May 6 market plunge, which sent the Dow Jones industrial average careening nearly 1,000 points in less than a half- hour, federal regulators said Friday. A report by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission determined that the so-called "flash crash" occurred when the trading firm executed a computerized selling program in an already stressed market.
The stock market has stalled in a range that roughly approximates a 50 percent recovery of the prior bear market," observes Ian McAvity's Deliberations on World Markets newsletter (P.O. Box 40097, Tucson, AZ 85717). "The initial crash rebound should be peaking around now.

ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite the fact that more people were needlessly killed and injured in the one-year pilot program in 2010, Senator Collins (R-ME) and Senator Leahy (D- VT) made it their priority to include a special interest exemption for their states that will allow 100,000 lb. trucks on Maine and Vermont Interstates. This exemption, which changes federal policy, was slipped into an appropriations bill, HR 2112, without any public participation, congressional hearing, or the results of a U.S. Department of Transportation review of the one-year pilot program. This exemption was adopted before the DOT released an overdue 6- month report and a one-year report on the results of the one-year exemption as required by Congress. The bill is expected to be voted o...

CHICAGO (HedgeWorld.com) - This week marks the 20th anniversary of the 1987 stock market crash, and despite the euphoria surrounding the Dow industrials re-visiting their pre-credit crisis summer peaks, it remains tempting to compare current market conditions to those that led to the October crash two decades ago. Although the ultimate cause of the October 1987 stock market crash is still disputed, some of the warning signs included a tired bull market, soaring interest rates, overvaluation, a weakening U.S. dollar, program trading and high trade deficits, said William J. Brodsky, chairman and chief executive of the Chicago Board Options Exchange.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Major U.S. exchanges proposed extending temporary stock-trading halts by four months on Wednesday [Dec. 8], as regulators and Congress explore ways to bolster the integrity of the markets after the May 6 flash crash. Big Board parent NYSE Euronext and privately held BATS Exchange want to extend the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's program of circuit breakers, which pause trading in a volatile stock and are due to expire on Friday [Dec. 10].
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. securities regulators unveiled a long- awaited plan designed to protect the markets from volatile price swings following the May 6 "flash crash. The so-called "limit up-limit down" proposal, announced by the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday [April 5], would require trades in U.S.-listed stocks to be executed within a range tied to recent prices.

Corporate law theory and practice considers shareholder relations with companies and the implications of ownership separated from control. Yet through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) bailout and the government's resultant shareholding, ownership and control at many companies have merged, leaving corporate theory and practice for the financial and automotive sectors in chaos. The government's $700 billion bailout is a unique historical event; not merely because of its size, but also because of a resulting ripple through corporate scholarship and practice. This article builds on the author's five testimonies before Congress during the financial crisis and implementation of the TARP bailout and his consultation for the Special Inspector General for TARP. After considering corporat...

A special committee said federal regulators have made positive changes, but they also need to create new rules that anticipate market problems to avoid another disruption like the May 6, 2010, plunge that rocked investor confidence. The joint advisory committee of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission recommended, in a report Friday, that the SEC consider new incentives or rules that would restrain market strategies commonly used by high-speed trading firms.
