Flash Boys

I'm wondering if that's true. I'm wondering if you have questions about the way artificial intelligence companies are kind of recklessly putting this technology into the world while behind the scenes lamenting that it may lead to the destruction of humanity. And what, whether it's flash boys or going infinite, leads you to wonder about what these companies are doing.

that's another Michael Lewis book yeah oh is it flash boys yeah okay yeah these guys figured out what was going on and then they started a trading floor where there was so much cable that no one could benefit from those you know those nanoseconds of advantage yeah yeah of course the other banks tried to close it down

The first book will be Michael Lewis's Flash Boys, which is just an incredible-- I mean, typically of Michael Lewis, an incredible story about change in our markets and the efforts of some people to try to make the markets work better.

In 2014, Lewis published a book called Flash Boys, which is a book about Brad Katsuyama and a small group of rebel Wall Street investors who form IEX, which is like a stock exchange that's supposed to - the idea is we want to protect investors from the unfair advantages that these highfrequency trading firms have on traditional exchanges.

His books, The Fifth Risk, Flash Boys, The Big Short, read it, loved it, Moneyball, The Blind Side.

There's a whole book by Michael Lewis called Flash Boys, which is kind of about this period that you both moved to New York and start working on this thing because really his book is about this phenomenon, these high frequency traders, many of them coming out of PhD programs and working to create ways to, you know, to speed up trades by milliseconds, like 10 milliseconds.

For example, he wrote Flash Boys. It's actually one of my favorite books he's ever written about high frequency of trading.

A lot of people hate Michael Lewis because Michael Lewis has been like a little overly positive about Sam.

Just by way of a book recommendation, flash boys is a superb read. I really enjoyed it.
