QE3 Hits Wall Street and High Frequency Trading Goes Wild

(This is a LIVE CHART during normal trading hours and may not reflect this story at the time of posting.)

Many now expect the DJIA to start lifting above 15,000 by the end of the year. Perhaps the DJIA could hit 20,000 in 2013? Will this improve the economy now? Are we going to bring back America with job growth now and a manageable cost of living? Or is this just a jewel in a swine's mouth?

One thing is certain to me and that is how the high frequency trading has kicked in on this news. There's no way that people are on the phone calling their brokers to invest in the stock market. Also this could be a time to be very concerned of a sudden FLASH CRASH. These are very dangerous times.
