The following quote is from an excerpt of The Speed Traders: "I can tell you that they are concerned," says Patterson. "I think part of it is because the market has evolved away from them fairly rapidly, and they are only starting to wake up to what is going on. By the way, I don't think that people are afraid that regulators are going to do something to ban this practice; that would be extremely foolish."
