So far, I just wish that hedge funds on the larger scale had more eyes on them. Places like citadel have to much power over the market and this needs to stop. As retail strength grows the sec needs to realize that the market has officially forever changed and corruption will be noticed publicly and swiftly. As this happens dark pool trading for amc is at 70%. Ftds in the market are more common. Shorting successful companies that can only stay float because of retail has become an all out war. This has made the market volatile and has led to many rule changes. The longer the war goes the more volatile it will become. Imagine the swing the market would have if retail left because the sec didnt back fairness in the market. Dark pools need to have more regulation. Their should be limits to the amount of shorts made per hour when a stock is in a specific stage within the market. Changes simply need to be made.
