The linkedin thread over in the algorithmic trading group had some rather touchy stuff but I think it got pruned, not sure.

Is it possible to find out how capital are they/she managing?

I wonder if she is reading these posts?

"@Maggette: Sorry, no positive proof so far. Would you mind giving it a try ?"

You mean I should write a really aggressive review and offer some contact details in it?

Would love to, but I doubt this would make any sense since I am probably one of the ten people on this board that actually know less about HFT than Misses

I don't think anyone would see the difference Wink . Just drop a big pile of BS and see what happens, eg if you are followed by people in trench coats and someone is shadowing you car.

Ok. Saturday evening calls for a beer and some fun. So let me post one of the best comments I found on Amazon:

Irene says:

A review on the basis of one early chapter (someone sent me this very review in response to the one chapter I circulated in April 2009 -- way before the book was published)! This is the new competitive methods that selected academic programs teach their faculty nowadays -- a bit of a disgrace for the programs?!

Really? I thought the "academic programs" were busy teaching their students... No wonder the quality of education in the US is taking a hit.

Irene, I would rather say "these are the new competitive methods ..." instead of "this is .....".

Anyway, another guy/gal responded by saying:

I trust Dale's judgement more than I trust someone who just deleted two of her own comments. You can't bully people into taking you seriously.

Great comment dude.....

Edit: missing sentence.

Funny thread. I just took a look at her twitter account.

My book, "High-Frequency Trading", is being translated into Chinese due to its popularity. Ready in 2011! (6:38 AM Jul 13th)
