hey HFT scum, yeah, you. Watch this

The SEC fools ought to TAX the HFT leeches an amount so that they make up no more than say 30% of all trading. Say the way it was 3-4 years ago. If that means taxing traders/investors 1/2 cent or 1 cent a share, so be it.
I'm sure the government could use the money.
 
If these are the quality of replies we have on ET, just imagine what John & Jane Q. Public thinks about HFT. And we have so many threads wondering why government is getting into every single facet of our lives. BECAUSE WE ARE ASKING THEM TO, and they are happy to oblige. Every single fricking thing that inconveniences anyone - "there ought to be a law for that!"
:mad:

Agreed. Though if we are so willing to form concrete opinions while being completely ignorant on the subject matter. It may be for the best that someone else looks after us.
