Hi Ayous,
Lubach is quite good and funny, but here he showed he does not understand the (real) world. The world of HFT Finance is what it is. It is a global speedrace and we are very lucky in NL that we are very good in that game.
The bonuses that the people at HFT firms make are also spent in NL and a lot of people benefit from that. Dutch traders pay 52% in taxes and from these taxes a lot of nurses, teachers, etc. are paid.
Not to mention the IMC Weekendschool or Chris Oomen (founder of (Optiver) that started a new and very good insurer.
I know for a fact that IMC employees spent 1% of their salary and 1% of their time (3,5 days pa) on charity. It is in their employment contract. I very much doubt that Lubach can match that.
Cheers,
JB
