This is exactly what all investors of all creeds need: Transparency, Effectiveness, and Justice if necessary.
Retail investors depend on the SEC and any regulatory authority to protect them and intervene, if necessary if there is any form of fraud or market manipulation that MAY be occurring behind the scenes. Retail and individual investors alike are becoming INCREASINGLY aware of how the U.S and world economy functions and are WILLINGLY participating for a chance to mold some type of future for themselves. They do this by investing in the public market goods, services, commodities of all kinds.
What the public needs is honesty in how business is conducted. If the public, and other related persons' increasingly lose confidence in the way business is conducted in a particular area, the public or individual has no issues looking for another area to settle in so that they have a fighting chance for their savings and investments to appreciate.
More and more individual investors are taking an active role in the market and I firmly believe this will be a major impacting factor in a turnaround in the U.S economy, that has been battered by COVID-19 and wealth inequality.
If the SEC continues on the path it's taking, with Gary Gensler leading the helm as he continues to bring powerful financial concepts public, the U.S economy could rebound in such a drastically positive way once worldwide long term economic implications are addressed.
