It is frustrating as an individual investor to find out the SEC suspended the Tipping rules (think that is what they were called) that had been in place since the Great Depression. This gives the commercial and computer traders who do millions of trades and distinct advantage over individual investors. Look at the Speculators driving up the price of oil with all their speculative activity. They should have some skin in the game and not just trading. The SEC can do more to help individual investors by leveling the playing field again….of course any education helps, but the playing field has to be a little more level and that is not been happening lately…R Howell
