Nassim Nicholas Taleb Quotes

The Stock Exchanges Have Converted From "open Outcry" Where Wild Traders Face Each Other, Yelling And Screaming As In A Souk, Then Go Drink Together. Traders Were Replaced By Computers, For Very Small Visible Benefits And Massively Large Risks. While Errors Made By Traders Are Confined And Distributed, Those Made By Computerized Systems Go Wild - In August 2010, A Computer Error Made The Entire Market Crash (the "flash Crash"); In August 2012, As This Manuscript Was Heading To The Printer, The Knight Capital Group Had Its Computer System Go Wild And Cause $10 Million Dollars Of Losses A Minute, Losing $480 Million.
