So you are saying it is just a mixed fund at this point, and it was never a high-frequency trading fund primarily or exclusively?

When a company can claim to be trading on stocks and come out ahead 1,237 days out of 1,238 days, you can see why some people think the game is rigged for the big buys to make money and everybody else to lose.
Fifteen percent is not a good number. And this matters because people are not going to invest in the stock market if they do not trust it.
If you are buying a stock and turning it around and selling it within a minute, within a second later to someone else, how does that provide liquidity to the markets?
Lack of trust in the stock market means less capital for growing companies, slower growth in the economy, slower job growth.
But I at least want to ask the question how it is that--this is the principal claim for high-frequency trading, is that it provides liquidity in the marketplace.
I do not think we can overstate the importance of investor confidence, and that means investors have got to believe that these markets work.
