The only questions that matters. My orders do not go where intended to do so, which are to the companies on the public exchanges such as NYSE where they are listed. Instead, market makers such as Citadel, who have a history of fraudulence and manipulation (they have been fined over 60 times for this) are taking our orders and delaying them, thus suppressing the price of certain stocks. They have also been fined for not reporting millions of trades and delaying orders yet are allowed to continue. Head of NYSE and SEC themselves have said the accurate price isnt reflected for many stocks. This leads to the next negative point - why are over 60% of trading volumes occurring via dark pools for months for certain stocks? This is a clear violation of the intended use of dark pools and needs to be corrected at once. The blatant corruption in the stock market is astounding. The American stock market has tarnished its reputation and many will be pulling out their 401ks and their personal investments. As an immigrant who came here for better opportunities, I am extremely disheartened. Even the Pakistani stock market isnt as corrupt as the American markets.
