Bring back the Uptck Rule!!!Write the Securities Commission, write your representative in the house, write the Prime Minister, whatever it takes, this rule needs to be reinstated to bring back investors and save them from HFT.
With the uptick rule back in play the only option for HFT to short will be to start buying from themselves and that will put a huge crimp in the hundreds of thousands or your dollars they are raking in by shorting into the bid and covering seconds later when they hit your stops or you just get scared or your broker calls and says you better sell. Hard to catch naked shorts when they cover seconds later and that is exactly what is happening and destroying company values while raking in your money.
HFT and the loss of the uptick rule are destroying our markets. Stand up and be heard. This is your market and your money. Fight for it or lose it and lose your money.
