Retail investors have devolved to the point where we're wee little fish swimming in an ocean of shark infested waters and the sharks have grown so huge they must make meals of themselves to survive and thrive. To whit was watching a BNN commentator a couple weeks ago speak of the Canadian market trading stats and apparently the HFT's have grown to the point where they are responsible for a staggering 94% of all orders placed. Contrary investors beware & trade against HFT-generated momentum at your peril!
