Prior to the online investing. Shares could only be bought in whole numbers. Online investing started the fractional share purchasing. Also, Ive learned that online investing isnt fair and equitable to the retail investor. We are simply pawns to the Market Marker and Hedge Funds. The American system has systemic crime running through the whole system

10. What is your understanding, if any, of the circumstances under which trading or investing in your account can be suspended or restricted?
I understand that all terms and conditions have changed in share trading to an extent that these companies can halt trading at will and blame retail investors for criminal activities undertaken by hedge funds and market makers. I also have learned that the SEC looks the other way as they dont like to do their jobs or they wont get the golden handshake employment offer from the hedge funds when they leave the SEC. it appears in Wallstreet crime not only pays but is rewarded
11. What else would you like us to know positive or negative - about your experience with online trading and investing?
The USA share dealing industry is playing with loaded dice. Crime is rife and goes unpunished. No other country operates such a criminal system. My days of trading in American stock market are coming to an end. I believe the youth of today will steer clear of investing in the American stock market as the hedge funds control the whole system. Its a shame but if the SEC dont do their jobs and penalties arent enforced, prison sentences handed out then wallstreet will be known as toxic trading centre throughout the world.
