2. If your response to Question 1 is Yes, do you think you would trade or invest if you could not do so online using a computer or using a mobile app?
No

Daily/more than once a day

Once to a few times per month.
5. If you access your account online, did you have the account first, and only began to access it electronically later? Or did you open the account with the idea that you would access it electronically immediately?
I downloaded an app or visited a website first, and then opened up an account with the company
6. My goals for trading or investing in my online account are (check all that apply):
Keep the amount of money I have, while keeping up with inflation
Save and grow my money for short-term goals (in the next year or two)
Save and grow my money for medium- to long-term goals
Have fun
Other

To fight corruption and both experience and learn more about how trillions have been allowed to be stolen from American and foreign persons

10. What is your understanding, if any, of the circumstances under which trading or investing in your account can be suspended or restricted?
Halts 20%/5mins.
Btw,Trading should never be restricted or suspended. The market should be free, not manipulated to protect someone who \"lost\" a bet, particularly those with significant advantages to retail. Oh and other firms shouldn't be able to trade during halts, which they definitely do currently.. not very free
11. What else would you like us to know positive or negative - about your experience with online trading and investing?
I've had 100s of thousands stolen from illegal activities, such as removing buy buttons to tank a stock, and allowing continued naked short selling (noones dumb enough to believe this isn't occurring).
If the market was true, fair, and transparent it would be a beautiful tool to exponentially improve the entire human race. The way it is, siphons our evolution and may Ultimately lead to our premature extinction... that may sound overdramatic, but when you truly think about how important constant advancement is to surviving (its a competition, likely not just on this planet if you believe its possible other life could form in vast far away planets) you'll realize its not overdramatic, but a very real concern.
Lock up the real criminals, the heads of these companies, for the actual sake of humanity
