Here's more of a commentary than a review of Michael Lewis' new book about Wall Street, Flash Boys. It's a commentary every young and old seeker who can read ought to read.
In case you don't know, Flash Boys is about electronic cutting to the front of the line. An ultimate act of contempt, front running any and all who have the audacity to play by the rules. In the electronic age rule players and snoozers equal losers.
Reading is the lost art, reading to mine for meaningful information even more so. Forget old guys.
If it's superficial it rules. Even better if it's quick and superficial. Devoid of lines. Forget Jones. It's not about whatever happened to him. Thinking, rule playing, integrity, now there's some real pain.
