I find it hilarious this is on a CDU thread. HFT just fulfils the role market makers used to. Not much has changed really. I'm against HFT being given an unfair advantage by receiving economic releases early, but I don't see why in a free market you would stop people trading using computers because they're better at the job than people. Hardly destroying companies, that's just a conspiracy theory peddled by the ignorant.
