I do not fully understand the complexities of what is happening behind the scenes with dark pools and hedge fund shorting of stocks but rely upon and fully expect the US Government/SEC to enforce all rules that are in place. Specifically, it professional traders are preying upon retail investors thru simple or complex trading in order to intentionally drive equity prices down and doing it in a manner than is against the rules and the SEC knows about this they need to act in a timely and decisive manner to end these practices. If the game is rigged as I am hearing, the US Equity Markets are a house of cards unless fixed.
