The fact that a short position can kick the can down the road indefinitely is enraging.
I am 38 years old. I have only begun thinking about investing to help my family have a better opportunity in life.
When I buy a stock I believe in, it is not fair that my order does not even go to the lot exchange as Chair Gensler said on Bloomberg.
What chance does a little guy like me have in this market where those with the power and money can hold my money hostage in a warehouse until it benefits them to put it in to the lit exchange.
Market Makers should not be able to have as much power as they do. When I got into this, I thought I was investing in a company, not giving my money to a market maker to play monopoly with. It would have been wiser to just light it on fire to keep my house warm.
Going forward I dont believe I will use the US market any more and stick to Toronto if this rule is not
enforced.
The free market is a joke right now.
