Insiders explain how fractional-share trading went from fringe to must-have — and who's actually doing it in an industry where everyone wants to be an early mover

Business Insider  online

2020-02-19

Trading stock slivers is a new trend. Prof. Terrence Hendershott, the Willis H. Booth Chair in Banking and Finance II, says fractional shares forge diversified portfolios, making the risk taken on by brokers rather small. "It's hard to see how this is going to be a big money-maker right from the get-go," he said.

The Hill  online

2016-03-18

Is slower better? The debate around IEX's application to become a public exchange seems to have coalesced around this simple question. If you believe automation and high frequency trading (HFT) are bad because they are fast, then it may seem obvious to slow everyone down. IEX designed its proposed exchange to include an intentional 350 microsecond delay for incoming and outgoing information, which sounds sensible enough to the investors feeling outrun.
