10. What is your understanding, if any, of the circumstances under which trading or investing in your account can be suspended or restricted?
Robinhood prevented me from buying $GME in January. But no law firm wants my case as its under $10k in damages
11. What else would you like us to know positive or negative - about your experience with online trading and investing?
We do not have free markets. If the markets were free, Id been able to buy $GME during that fateful day in January. The more I read about the market and institutional participants, the more I realize that the market is rigged in their favor at the detriment to the retail trader. Robinhood citadel front-runs my trade to make a penny/ fraction of a penny. If anything, 2008 taught us that the efficient market hypothesis is bogus. Why do we need nanosecond liquidity in the market if that theory is demonstrably false?
