Hello, I am new to investing and seen many, many comments online. One of my concerns is how can a market maker control the value of a stock. (Citadel - Kenneth Griffin interview in public forum. December 12, 2023 -The Street (any many more articles) https://www.thestreet.com/memestocks/others/citadels-ken-griffin-why-markets-are-efficient I am mostly concerned on dark pool and stocks trading , Shorting stocks without purchasing them. Most 10K filing shows huge amounts of stocks sold but not purchased. (Shorting??) Why is this information not shared with the public . Is this why Credit Suisse collapse and closed records for 50 years. Is this because if released it would do majors destruction of our financial systems? if so, how can this be stopped so taxpayers do not have to bail out these market makers and banks so they can do it again and again. Its scary buying stocks for my retirement as I think there are many issues for corruption. in 2007 Financial Crisis, I lost more than half of my retirement value. Rich gets richer and poor get poorer. its not right. Make changes and if anyone doesn't follow the rules then the fines should be then total value of the gain and not a small fine and a slap on the wrist. or exclude them from doing business for years until they get their act together. Thank you for reading my concerns Kevin Keeley
