On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

it's a great site for anyone interested in a non-mainstream view of finance.

Beginning in early 2009 Durden had been on a jihad about Goldman, having sifted through trading data to make what he insisted was an airtight case proving that the bank's high-frequency or "flash" trading desk was engaged in some sort of large-scale manipulation of the New York Stock Exchange. Durden drew his conclusions by scrupulously analyzing trading data the NYSE released each week. So what happened? Naturally, the NYSE on June 24 changed its rules and stopped releasing the data, seemingly to protect Goldman from Zero Hedge's meddling.

I have a look at it everyday. A bit confusing at the start, isn't it?

Yeah some of the technical stuff is over my head but you start to understand more as you go along.

I was reading about dark pools yesterday and did a bit of research on them to try to understand, but I still couldn't tell you what they are!
