Wyatt Research Week-in-Review: May 5-11

Our in-depth coverage of high frequency trading continued this week.
We dug deep into many of the questions raised by Michael Lewis’ groundbreaking new book, “Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt.” Specifically, we examined how to protect yourself from predatory trading on Wall Street. We contemplated the secret to beating high-frequency trading. And we shined the spotlight on the real hero of “Flash Boys,” Brad Katsuyama.
We also continued to give away free copies of “Flash Boys” to our loyal readers. To get a copy of your own, click here.
