You can create a lott of profit from a stock tanking. How would that create equity wealth?

Yeah, I honestly think this would be a good thing. ML already exists as market makers. It’s a big-ish industry maybe, but not massive. It probably should be as automated as possible which would reduce the risk free profit to be made to next to nothing.

Does non-automated trading still hold a significant percentage of volume? Not an expert but that would seriously surprise me.
