The High-Frequency Trading Debate

Only in the animal kingdom is brute power allowed to prevail. Not in civilized society.

In the hands of drug dealers AK47s and viruses in the hands of hackers and ID theft criminals are "efficiencies offered by technology and new communications infrastructure" . That does not mean law enforcement officers should say we just have to live with it. Nor should common citizens be willing to accept these advances in technology and communications as unrestricted muscle power that can be used against the common good.

Unrestricted high frequency trading should not be allowed. When computer trading will completely take over social trading by humans, it will not be a market anymore..just another jungle.
