Social would be great, whether it is from other platform user, or from official company i invested in. Also, news from SEC would be nice, i know you have twitter already, so why not a bridge / report for a start ?

11. What else would you like us to know positive or negative - about your experience with online trading and investing?
WELL, good question. I started trading naivly. I though \"do your research on the company = Do they have good products, competitors, can they extend worldwide or is it done already, how happy are the employees, is the company not messing with the environment, etc\" and then, i noticed the stock market is not only that. We see naked shorting, corruption, conflict of interest... So i dug. And while i was in the mids of it, the gamestop thing came out. And that's it, MASSIVE naked shorting, reverse repo, dark pools, corruption, ridiculous fines. Now i will be honest, i withdrew everything and went all in gamestop. Rules needs to be enforced. THAT'S JUST IT.
