There is no benefit. HFT does not lower spreads in reality , only nominally. They put in orders but back away when a matching order comes in. The myth is that HFT improves liquidity. It may look like that. But those orders aren't real

Alright. We mostly agree. The only reason I spoke up is because it irks me that some people are quick to stifle debates on certain topics just because they might involve the Jews. You're a classic case, playing the "anti-Semite&qu

Without slavery how will we ever pick cotton? Well I don't know but I do know slavery is wrong and so it should stop regardless of whether there's an alternative. Same goes for money printing. How will we ever have money if not pr

Value is in the eye of the beholder (or potential buyer). I see you cut my quote halfway so you didn't have to present a case that mainstream economics is scientific, which I'm yet to see. Please show some yet-unfalsified falsifia
