On: Stock Market Manipulation By Millisecond Trading

I think our entire society (Except stock traders) would be a hell of a lot better off if you were required to own stock for six months.

And I also recommend SEC to REGULATE the Market Capitalization of all Listed Companies to TWICE their Quarterly Revenue. This will

• Will open markets for entrepreneurs resulting in creation of millions of new jobs in start-ups.
• Prevent Ponzi type scams in Corporate Management and Stock Markets

The $0.20 might ruin a day-trader's day, but day-traders are not investors nor market makers. You and I are not day traders. The only thing the electronic market makers ("high-frequency traders") ruin are slower, human-based market makers' profits and day-trader's profits.
