1. Do you have one or more online trading or investment accounts?
Yes, I have one or more accounts that I access online using a computer.

2. If your response to Question 1 is Yes, do you think you would trade or invest if you could not do so online using a computer or using a mobile app?
No

3. On average, how often do you access your online account?
Daily/more than once a day

4. On average, how often are trades made in your online account, whether by you or someone else?
Once to a few times per month.

5. If you access your account online, did you have the account first, and only began to access it electronically later? Or did you open the account with the idea that you would access it electronically immediately?
I downloaded an app or visited a website first, and then opened up an account with the company

6. My goals for trading or investing in my online account are (check all that apply):
Save and grow my money for short-term goals (in the next year or two)
Save and grow my money for medium- to long-term goals
Have fun

7. What would you like us to know about your experience with the features of your online trading or investment platform? (Examples of features are: social networking tools games, streaks, or contests with prizes points, badges, and leaderboards notifications celebrations for trading visual cues, like changing colors ideas presented at order placement or other curated lists or features subscription and membership tiers or chatbots.)
Look into the dark pool trading that market makers are using to their to advantage to route $AMC retail orders and suppress buying pressure while also manipulating the price. Seriously, check ASTRO and his loop cycle so you can see the [REDACTED] going on in the market. This is absurd. No one will invest in the stock market if the SEC does nothing about it. We need to protect the retail investors ASAP and ban PFOF immediately. The SEC has the power to temporarily ban dark pools for a month, why not do it?

8. If you were trading or investing prior to using an online account, how have your investing and trading behaviors changed since you started using your online account? (For example, the amount of money you have invested, your interest in learning about investing and saving for retirement, the amount of time you have spent trading, your knowledge of financial products, the number of trades you have made, the amount of money you have made in trading, your knowledge of the markets, the number of different types of financial products you have traded, or your use of margin.)
I will pretty much say what I said in the previous question. Look into the dark pool trading that market makers are using to their to advantage to route $AMC retail orders and suppress buying pressure while also manipulating the price. Seriously, check ASTRO and his loop cycle so you can see the [REDACTED] going on in the market. This is absurd. No one will invest in the stock market if the SEC does nothing about it. We need to protect the retail investors ASAP and ban PFOF immediately. The SEC has the power to temporarily ban dark pools for a month, why not do it?

9. How much experience do you have trading or investing in the following products (None, 12 months, 1-2 years, 2-5 years, 5+ years):
Stocks : 1-2 Years
Bonds : 1-2 Years
Options : 1-2 Years
Mutual Funds :

Cryptocurrencies : 1-2 Years
Commodities :
ClosedEnd Funds :

10. What is your understanding, if any, of the circumstances under which trading or investing in your account can be suspended or restricted?
Robinhood can take away your buy button because of conflict of interest regarding their market maker, Citadel. Shorts are being squeezed and the only way to get out with less harm is to suspend the buying of a security.

11. What else would you like us to know positive or negative - about your experience with online trading and investing?
Look into the dark pool trading that market makers are using to their to advantage to route $AMC retail orders and suppress buying pressure while also manipulating the price. Seriously, check ASTRO and his loop cycle so you can see the [REDACTED] going on in the market. This is absurd. No one will invest in the stock market if the SEC does nothing about it.
