Over the past few months, it has become clear that there is a lot of vital market data that is not accessible to the average retail trader. It is not a free and fair market when dark pool trading makes up the majority of trades. The dark pool in essence is a legal black market for trading and it is very exclusive. New and old retail traders have realized the market manipulation that is occurring
Hello, I'm sending this comment on behalf of the current situation of short sales being done within the stock market of AMC. As a new investor being affected by the current situation of the manipulation being held within the stock market, specifically AMC, it has been disheartening to see what's being done to the stock market.

I’m interested in seeing more transparency for the average retail investor. Short sellers are manipulating the stock market right in front of our eyes. Its not hidden, its right in front of our faces. Quite unfair and corrupt. I feel a big disadvantage as a retail investor because of how hard a short selling company can manipulate the price of a stock and have an effect on the actual price of the
