Tell me you are actively protecting hedge funds without telling me you are actively protecting hedge funds.

This is such a joke. I will say one thing, at least you're consistent... Normally this would be one of those times where I would say, \"This doesn't make any sense, why implement this?\" but it makes perfect sense. Time and time again you constantly protect the very people who caused the problem at the coast of retail. That's all this is. You know it. I know it. For christ's sake, the man walking his dog outside my window knows it. It's despicable.

I am a millennial and after 20 odd years of working I have enough capital to invest. I don't why I do knowing how manipulated the markets are but here we are. I have lived through multiple \"once in a life time\" financial crises and for the life of me I cant seem to understand why you clowns don't make any changes to prevent the same thing from happening over and over again. I draw pictures for a living and can still see what this bill is. It's chicken crap. And you wanna know something pretty neato? You cant make chicken soup out of chicken crap.

Here's a scenario for you. When a bank robber shoots up a bank and steals $100k, do the police give him a $100 fine give him a stern talking to then hand out bandaids? Of coarse not. They arrest the offender. Ya know, they do their job. (Pretty wild idea isn't it? A governing agency doing its job) They stop the offender. They don't change the rules to make it easier to keep shooting people.

A government's role is to protect it citizens from threats both foreign and domestic. Please do your jobs. For once in my life time can you please just do your jobs. Protect us. Stop enabling the very individuals who are actively stealing money from retail.

Yours Truly,
A Disappointed Investor
