1997 LMT's Chairman & CEO gives a cautionary warning in the New York Times, about the hazards of program trading to individual investors attempting to use the types of stock analysis software then being sold to them. The New York Times reports:

"Jay Kemp Smith, the chairman of Leading Market Technologies, a company in Cambridge, Mass., that markets software to big Wall Street houses, warns individual investors that they are up against Wall Street giants.

''The [firms] using technical analysis are stuffed with Ph.D's, and they're using sophisticated computers to do program trades,'' he said. ''We don't think it's appropriate to arm some people with slingshots and send them into battle with people armed with laser-guided missiles."
