11. What else would you like us to know positive or negative - about your experience with online trading and investing?
Do your job The blatant fraud of the market in January by brokers and hedge funds shows how rigged the market is. Then you have the SEC watching porn. How is it retail investors are better at your job than you are and they don't have the data. Do your job 2008 happened SEC did nothing, it's going to happen again and SEC has done nothing. The fact that people can pay minimum fines for millions of dollars worth of fraud is an absolute joke. We know you work at the SEC to get a job at a hedge fund but this has to stop. Do your job The trust in the SEC can't get lower. The fraud is so obvious yet you do nothing. \"oh look guys we stopped some guy in California cheating a penny stocks\" Get real and do your job. Pathetic that you allow banks and hedge funds to continually defraud the American people. Financial terrorist. You are an accessory to their crimes.
