- kasey_junk 13y agoThis is a very good point. I finished the book today. The most interesting thing to me is that the book pretty clearly (from the perspective of an HFT engineer) comes down on the side that HFT is not actually a villain and that the large banks (especially Goldman Sachs & Credit Suisse) are pretty much the devil (giving Goldman a pass for their last year of non-deviltry). Yet all the interviews, press junkets, and face time on the Daily Show are saying the exact opposite (to the point that Jon Stewart of all people is extolling the virtues of Goldman). It says way more about the book selling/exchange building business than it does about HFT.
