Ghost Exchange

Mar 1 2013 Unrated 1h 28m
Documentary, News

Wall Street's leading insiders participate in a startling investigation into the potential systems failure looming for the US Stock Market and the impact of automated trading technology as regulators are challenged to act before its too late.

Plot

'Ghost Exchange' probes the volatile state of U.S. capital markets and their critical impact on America's economic future. The film explores the acceleration of the evolution of U.S. stock exchanges, and uncovers the risks resulting from this wholesale adoption. Wall Street has transformed from the world of human touch trading, to computer algorithm trading- where stocks are owned for mere microseconds. The thought-provoking documentary also examines how recent financial headlines are a direct result of automated systems running unchecked. The capital market system that many considered as the world's best, may have been inadvertently lost by the pursuit of speed and efficiencies that we still do not truly understand. Wall Street has become a 'ghost exchange'.
