Heya SEC: I'm a retail investor, and I make my own investment decisions. IMC, Charles Schwab, and Citadel most certainly do not represent retail investors. Even though they process a significant portion of retail orders, that's only because they frontrun everything by seeing orders before they hit the lit market, and dark-pole internalize Basically Everything. It's the penny scam from Office Space done billions of times per day, manipulating the plumbing of the market to actively impede actual lit market price discovery. So, not like it matters from just another Retail Investor Poor, but PFOF brokers and wholesalers most certainly DO NOT represent my interests. I route orders to IEX whenever possible, as it's one of the few exchanges that seem to actually care about actual lit markets rather than kickbacks and front running mess that represents modern US Markets.
