Interesting article.

I think it's a tad bit too optimistic though.

I think that America will ultimately fail.

Didn't hardly even mention China....and how can an article about the American future not bring them up?

Still, read the whole thing, good look.

I posted this question a couple of weeks ago, but I will ask it again because of this graphic in the story and I used to work for a proprietary bank. How can high-frequency trading not be artificially boosting the value of the market? It accounts for more and more of the market's volume boosting the price of stock incrementally...but in a large volume. That's "creating" value to each and every stock that doesn't really exist. It's there only because some traders have faster access to your desires to buy or sell than everyone else...and they're charging the rest of us. HFT is, in essence, a tax on trading which doesn't go to the government, it goes to HFT firms.
