I think you need to explain why it should be.

Well.. If printing money is legal(not for you though), then WTF are we talking about?

Shorting is ok in this environment as I see it,
what bothers me is that all the game is utterly rigged beyond all means(just habeeb: "LIBOR scandal", ), but we're talking monopoly funny money here..

The entire paper trading(now just digits trading) is a scam on poor taxpayers.

There are several HFT strategies, not all of them can be considered as "bad".
The more or less obvious bad ones are, for example, front-running and strategies using flash orders. Those should be illegal because it's basically stealing money from customers / investors.

Also, you should read Flash Boys.
