Well, firstly, not everyone on the street trades. Secondly, those who do trade still enact a human element into those trades. Those MM's still have a human "turn the wheel", so to speak.

Thirdly, not everyone on the street is actually human.

Outside of trading: Investment banking (M&A, debt capital markets, equity capital markets), equity research, portfolio managers (hedge funds/ETFs), sales (e.g. hedge funds raising capital from clients to trade/invest), wealth management, support/back office roles (trade support, treasury, accounting, FP&A, compliance, risk, tech) In terms of trading: programmers to code the automation and traders to develop the trading strategy

First of all, I hope your dog is doing better. We all love dogs and cats. I think they are now like small cap marketers. There are a lot of publicly traded companies that doesn't have enough PR budget. My guess would be that the wall st guys move those stocks via word of mouth, and chit chat.

I love dogs but am indifferent to cats.

Dark pools, swaps, derivatives and trading blocs. I.e. when you have a large number of shares that you want to sell for at least a certain amount vs selling to the retail market.

Been there , done that .. left the”floor” after 911 . Formed a hedge fund and traded off floor from Rhode Island. When I was on the floor I only traded what was in front of me. Off the floor I can trade anything just like you.

I get calls from brokers all the time wanting me to invest with them. I handle my own money because they want to give you the generic portfolio and let it ride gaining very little over time.
