Knight sold stakes in DirectEdge to other Wall Street firms and now owns only a minority stake in the company. On Aug. 1, 2012, right after the markets opened, a software glitch at Knight rapidly moved the stocks of 148 companies. The trades pushed the value of many stocks up, and the company had to sell the overvalued shares back into the market at a lower price.

The New York Times Top Stories - August 2, 2012 Flood of Errant Trades Is a Black Eye for Wall Street By NATHANIEL POPPER An automated stock trading program suddenly flooded the market with millions of trades Wednesday morning, spreading turmoil across Wall Street and drawing renewed attention to the fragility and instability of the nation’s stock markets. While the broad stock indexes quickly recovered and ended the day slightly down, it was the latest black eye for the financial markets. The runaway trading suggests that regulators have not been able to keep up with electronic programs that increasingly dominate the supercharged market and have helped undermine investor confidence in stocks. Traders on Wednesday said that a rogue algorithm repeatedly bought and sold millions of shares of companies like RadioShack, Best Buy, Bank of America and American Airlines, sending trading volume surging. While the trading firm involved blamed a “technology issue,” the company and regulators were still trying ...
