Nothing aside from the fact that you have literally eliminated the "common man" from even remotely participating in the market...

The entire momentum of the stock HFT market is skewed against everyone except the HFT masters...

how about, perhaps, build an engine that can do this and allow for people to buy into slices of it??

I just think that we are literally on the precipice where we will shrink from a perceived "1%" in power to a ".000001%" in power...

Ten years tops...

Even today, in the world of HFTs, this isn't the case. Long-term positions are still valid.

The common man was eliminated from regular trading a very long time ago. I don't see what's to complain about.

There's never been a better time to be an individual investor than today. You can buy index funds at costs that are constantly going down, not up. That's a good thing for the average investor.
