Investors have the best stock market ever – thanks to high-frequency trading
- pbarnes_1 10y agoThis is some grade A HFT propaganda. Anyone reading this should also be reading Nanex and the Flash Boys book to balance out.
- hackuser 10y agoThe benefits described would seem to come from any electronic trading systems; high-frequency wouldn't seem to be neccessary. Also, it assumes the benefits of high-frequency trading are shared with hordinary individuals, which I doubt. IMHO, it reads like a propaganda piece: A bold, novel, counter-intuitive assertion that freezes the other party and puts them on the defensive, because they never had to think through this kind of crazy idea before. You can throw these ideas out there by the dozen and tie up your opponent, because it takes much longer to refute it than to say it.
