I'm glad to see a healthy respect for investment among the hacker community. It's traders like this who commit to nearly a full 10 seconds of ownership that are the backbone of economic growth for this country.
And HFT or day-trading does bring some value to the world. It enables companies to go to the public markets and raise capital. And investors to sell their shares without having to wait too long for a buyer. But those positives come along with negatives as well.
