As a international investor I am losing confidence in the US markets due to what I appear to see as manipulated trading.
Trades being discussed as off exchange for retail trading, short positions exceeding 100% of float. ETF short positions exceeding 100% of float and self reporting on these positions makes me believe that these are the minimum numbers even when they exceed 100% of float.
The fines when caught appear to be that small they are considered a cost of doing business while the affect this has on the market as a whole and retails portfolios is damaging to the finances and lives of people across the globe who have chosen to invest in the United States of Americas stock markets
