The company may have been something in the past that it is NOT now.”<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-52538456370477561382019-12-19T17:43:55.113-06:002019-12-19T17:43:55.113-06:00@ 1:30, Good point in the "lesser of two weas...@ 1:30, Good point in the "lesser of two weasles".

Reuters uncovered documents showing Overland Park-based Waddell & Reed (NYSE: WDR) was responsible for about 9 percent of the trading volume in e-mini contracts — all sell orders — during that period. Federal regulators released a report about the flash crash incident on Friday, but didn’t directly name Waddell & Reed.<br /><br />“Such trades are often executed in response to market activity, and are undertaken to protect fund investors from downside risk,” Waddell said in a statement after the incident. “We use futures trading as part of this strategy, broadly known as hedging. This is a long-standing and well-monitored practice in certain of our investment portfolios.”<br /><br />“Who puts in a $4.1 billion order without a limit price?” Cummings wrote in the e-mail. “The trader at Waddell & Reed showed historic incompetence.”<br /><br />(KC Business Journal excerpt above)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-34104681792957497072019-12-19T08:55:41.058-06:002019-12-19T08:55:41.058-06:00And.......................
