11. What else would you like us to know positive or negative - about your experience with online trading and investing?
I was disgusted to find out that the NYSE is a free money machine for the filthy rich.
I was disgusted to find out that my trades were handled by the very people who are trading against me.
I was disgusted to find out that the most trusted market makers involved are allowed to sell thin air to artificially change the price of a stock, and when they don't deliver they are simply given more time.
I was disgusted to find that market makers can fabricate the existence of a stock to fraudulently represent delivery in order to buy more time.
I was disgusted to find that there are three to twenty times the possible amount of shares in my stocks circulating due to the greed and dishonesty of the hedge funds and market makers who would not cop to their own failed speculations.
I was most disgusted to find that beyond the self-governing joke, the legal reprimands for their fraud amounts to less than 1% of the profit that they glean - without personal or criminal reprecussions.
I was also most disgusted to discover that the legal governing bodies do not have contracts in place to prevent their employees from becoming employees of the very entities that are committing the crimes.
I was disappointed to discover that the information shared on Main Stream Media is misleading and designed to coerce in favour of the market makers, and in fact are all half owned by hegefunds.
I was outraged to find that market makers are funnelling all their money to their Cayman Island shelf companies to avoid paying tax or making margin calls.
I was most outraged to discover that retail customers' trading choices were removed to save the grifters from a failed speculation, and that Congress was proven to have been lied to about it, yet no criminal charges have occurred.
I am perplexed as to why I can know about all of the above through watching tickers, SEC filings and basic research, that you are asking about my experience.
I have discovered that retailers have been getting defrauded for decades through this system that you are supposed to govern, and all you have ever done is settle for a fee while the criminals 'neither admit, nor deny' their crimes, then accept a job with the criminals whom you recently collected fees from.
This game must stop.
