About this listen

On May 6, 2010, the Dow Jones plummeted 1,000 points in minutes before mysteriously bouncing back, wiping out $1 trillion in market value faster than you could refresh your portfolio. This is the story of how high-frequency trading algorithms turned Wall Street into a video game—and what happened when the machines started playing by their own rules. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
