IEX’s application to become a full-fledged exchange has sparked a public conversation about speed and its relevance to today’s stock market. Speed is only part of the conversation, however. What about the broader themes to this debate? Join Nasdaq, NYSE, and IEX as they discuss and debate the following topics:
- What role do exchanges play in the primary and secondary markets?
- How do exchanges impact the willingness of all investors to invest and trade in the secondary markets?
- What is Regulation? NMS and how does it govern today’s stock trading?
- How and why do "flash crash"-type events occur?
- What is the role of high frequence trading (HFT) today?
