The HFT is wasteful but isn't bad for human traders, they tend to get better prices. It's bad (sometimes) for huge investors (VHNW individuals, hedge funds, pension funds which I guess represent regular people) that want to make large trades without moving the market but there are also winners here - e.g. if Johnny the day trader buys a stock that Texas Teachers Fund is selling huge batches of, he's better off if HFTs are causing price changes to propagate more quickly. |
