‘More fragile than people think’: A Wall Street expert warns that the emerging ‘species’ of risk-loving day-traders is threatening to upend an already-vulnerable stock market

"They are definitely aggressive, but not infallible – or at least not all of them. When looking at charts, or doing any other type of analysis, we cannot ignore the potential impact from these traders." He argued that this process is playing out in several ways, the first being the fact that they are increasingly trading options in high volumes, leveraging their positions.
