Talk about raining on your IPO parade.

On top of these technical issues, BATS has the unenviable distinction of beginning trading for the first time on the same day a Wall Street Journal front page story said the SEC is examining high-speed trading, a key business BATS looks to attract on its exchange.

Rumor is that some trades were executed at under a ****ing penny on the day of the IPO ?!

It would only be funnier if the BATS was actually running on nothing but a heap of networked iPads...

BATS won't trade again today. All previous trades will be cancelled. How embarrassing is that? On the day of your IPO, not only does your own stock not trade, but your system completley collapses. Is this an Al Keida moment, or what?

and now BATS is not going to IPO at all.

Hopefully this will be the start of the end of High freq trading?
