11. What else would you like us to know positive or negative - about your experience with online trading and investing?
I would like you to know that as an - initially - completely unaware investor of all the games, tactics and tricks that undergo through the system you guys are responsible for supervising as well as enforcing, i am completely appalled by what i have witnessed since i purchased my first share of GME, some months ago. Since then, so many revelations have happened, all down to the due diligence done by individuals and not by yourselves, which make me seriously question whose side are you with in the end. It certainly feels like you exist to protect the big guys and not retail investors. The sad thing for me is that as a country with a humongous debt, you could actually do what plain investors like myself think you do, and make markets free and fair. Had they been indeed free and unmanipulated, they would be working towards everyone's interest, as at the end of the day we are talking about American companies. Instead you have allowed the greed of a few to take away jobs, lives, technological advancements and opportunities in every sector possible. What you need to understand though is that the people are progressing, are thirsty for knowledge and answers and are becoming better and better at lighting dark alleys and paths that allow certain companies, that are too big to fail, or think they are, to exploit every investor's hope, 401k, and pension fund. Unless you actually change things, and we people see you are there for us, their greed and far reaching influence will render you even more inappropriate to be our fortress for defence against all those that try to horde everything for themselves. Even worse, trust to the American markets will significantly reduce, or even vanish, making whatever is there today obsolete. The era of blockchain is now, and everyone is tired of history repeating itself (2008) or even worse. Either because you want to, or are forced to, something makes me not lose hope, not completely at least, not yet, as the GME saga is unfolding in front of our eyes. Please don't let retail investors down yet again.
