Disappointed with SEC that you dont punish the big guys that disabled the buy button in January 27-28. Totally corrupt behavior on the big trading platforms part and they should be punished with jail time. And lets talk about the amount on illegal amount of naked short selling and market manipulation is happening with the big hedge funds in the US. Its so obvious to retail eyes, how about the SEC starts to enforce the regulations that are in effect? Open you eyes

Roobinghood and others disabled the buy in January 27-28 on multiple stock just to save the naked short sellers [REDACTED]. Free market? I dont think so. Illegal activity that needs to be punished by the law.
11. What else would you like us to know positive or negative - about your experience with online trading and investing?
Being an EU citizen and watching the obvious illegal naked shorting and manipulation of the US stock market and that the SEC is ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN FOR ATLEAST MORE THEN 15 years. I have lost ALL trust the the US stock market and you guys should be ashamed of yourself saying the SEC protects the retail investors. What a bunch of BS
