I am an individual investor. PFOF Brokers and Wholesalers do not represent my interests.

It should be abundantly clear that firms like Citadel, Charles Schwab, and the other entities that rule our financial markets, are only looking out for their own profits and the preservation of their entrenched power.

I am not alone in being infuriated that these firms would have the audacity to claim that they represent me, my thoughts, my values, or my interests.

The Bernie Madoffs of this world have had their way with the American economy for far too long. It’s time for the SEC to bring trust and legitimacy back to our markets.
