Ok, you need to explain the logistics of your statement. I have read Flash boys, Dark Pools and more stuff about HFT and market structure than you would imagine. Although HFT steals money on a daily basis, unless you are long a triple short equities ETF, most american's portfolio's are up. The stock market is at record highs and all pensions, 401K's and institutions hold 50% in equities. I suggest digging deeper into what your portfolio contains. Any long term equity mutual fund should be positive.
