Dark Days at Knight Capital

Despite all efforts to corral Wall Street to avert a crisis, avoid market collapse, and instill confidence in the system, guess what happens. Yet another major misstep in the marketplace by one of its big participants.  And not just the rare market mistake that occurs once every year or two.  Missteps, hiccups, and strange collapses seem to be occurring these days just about every other week. This week, it's Knight Capital , the equities market-making firm that announced losses of over $400 million after it launched new software in its trading systems.  Software errors and technology glitches led the firm's black boxes to spew large orders of errant trades. By the time the firm's humans (not machines) could discover what was happening, it was too late.

KLCI 4th Quarter Price Trend

People who are new to the stock market may think that the stock market is a chaos market operating in a random manner. As you do more and more research into the historical stock prices you will see the picture clearer that the stock market is in fact rather predictable . Below are some KLCI historical charts for your viewing. As you can see interestingly, November is always "down" and December is always "up"; September is mixed, while October has been up for the last 3 years, but for this year I would say it might be a mixed month due to the strong rally in September with rather steep slope of rising.  How well history repeats itself depends on the actual outcome 3 months later.
