I don't think you and I, or for that matter anyone else, can get this HFT reality across to many well meaning longs who are now gripped by fear.
It is truly bizarre that only a handful of us are observing the actual live trading even as so many are scared or upset. I see nothing but a constant, never ending stream of 100/200/300 share algo trades, being repeatedly bought and sold, interspersed with actual trades, including sizable block buys.
