Interesting. Markets are totally broken but I hadn&#x27;t seen any legitimate players acknowledge that yet, good find. While the main argument in favor of HFT is providing liquidity, there really isn&#x27;t a situation where a &#x27;real&#x27; investor needs liquidity at the microsecond level.<p>Solid private companies refuse to go public not on boarding the typical mix of innovators&#x2F;new companies on an exchange.<p>Companies have much shorter lifespans.<p>and a massive amount of other factors, I can&#x27;t do justice to on a 48hr sleep deficit. My personal thesis, we are in a huge bubble. Tech, while certainly overvalued, is possibly the <i>least</i> out of whack with a true underlying value (to the degree that even exists).<p>Signs of this are everywhere. It isn&#x27;t a terrible thing I don&#x27;t think, but an average investor might not make much money in the market if they started putting money in now.
