I am sick and tired of the daily theft, price spoofing and excessive shorting against retail by market makers who are also short hedgefunds. The SEC knows good and well there is a conflict of interest between these market makers who literally route retail orders, and hedge funds who use payment for order flow so they can trade ahead of the average man. The SEC is complicit and supportive of these hedge funds, because they are bought out and in the pockets of these criminals. You may think that retail investors have no idea what institutions do to us and our orders on a daily basis, but we know all too well. The price halts on GameStop and AMC were some of the most criminal things I've seen in my seven years of trading. Dark pools must be banished. Gary Gensler claims that the United States stock market is the best Market in the world, which is completely laughable. Retail is sick and tired of being stolen from everyday, we will pull out our 401ks and remove all money from these corrupt markets unless something is done about it now.
