New York, NY, April 02, 2014 -- Bloomberg TV's anchors of its flagship show Mark et Makers, Stephanie Ruhle and Erik Shatzker, talked to Edgar Perez, the celebra ted author of The Speed Traders (http://www.TheSpeedTraders.com) and Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for Fin ancial Markets (http://www.KnightmareonWallStreet.com), on the perceived dangers of high-frequency trading. The full interview can be accessed at http://www.blo omberg.com/video/searching-for-a-high-frequency-speed-limit-Y_P3wbjSSvyly15~So02 yw.html. The interview with Perez touched upon Knight Capital s unprecedented number of erron eous orders into the market sent on August 1, 2012, due to an error in installin g new software. Knight Capital announced later a staggering loss of $440 million . What followed after this shocking announcement were several rounds of desperat e conversations with a number of vulture players who had smelled opportunity and were readying themselves to pick up bargain-priced pieces. On August 6, 2012, J oyce confirmed that Knight Capital had struck a deal with Jefferies, TD Ameritra de, Blackstone, GETCO, Stephens, and Stifel Financial, staving off collapse days after the trading mishap. While Knight Capital was back in the game, its limpin g recovery quickly prompted hungry competitors to bid for the entire company. On December 19, 2012, the board decided to accept an acquisition proposal from GET CO rather than Virtu Financial. For GETCO, acquiring Knight Capital represented a gigantic fast forward step. For Knight Capital, it was the end of its wild rid e as an independent entity.
