Heretoinvest ……… over on PLS have come across a similar view to ours regarding HFT BOTs and Short Selling. Some very interesting posts and info by "Hoots" on the "are they a friend or something else " threads.
here is a submission to Parliament on Short Selling by Funds and Loaning Shares for Shorting.
This one is from "Hoots" and is dated 2010 when he tried to get Parliament to look into HFT BOTs. [Algos] 
Some might find these interesting to see how Superfunds are screwing us all.
Interesting MP Chris Bowen was made aware of HFT BOTs and Algorithmic trading back in 2010.
