Dear regulators. How about you do your jobs and protect the investor public by enforcing the laws concerning illegal activities being openly used by hedge fund managers to manipulate the markets to their benefit? It's outrageous that entities who profit ( in insane amounts ) are allowed to control not only fringe investing techniques, but to operate as market makers to directly benefit their own funds. The open corruption by which the U.S. Congress is able to trade stocks with access to insider information with basically no consequences or restrictions is criminal. The fines for being caught are a joke and an insult to the International investment community. The U.S. stock market is teetering on a total loss of confidence on the world stage. The stock market has lost all credibility as far as a "free" market. The future in my opinion looks bleak. Until the fines reach into the billions of dollars, say 1 billion over the amount of money stolen from investors, where the heads of the funds are convicted and sentenced to long prison sentences, and held personally financially responsible for their crimes, the markets are going to lose the respect and practicability as a viable investment. The entire world is now being shown that the U.S. government, the so called regulators and the billionaire hedge fund operators, are in collusion to steal money from all the suckers who have been tricked into thinking that we have free markets where sound investing principles can be used to secure long tern wealth. Intead, it has been allowed to become a corrupt [REDACTED] where hedge funds are allowed to control who gets to succeed. The business practice where a viable company is destroyed from within by placing officers who's only goal is to suck out all avail money from the company forcing it to fail while shorting the stock to profit from their very activities, should be punishable by prison. Better yet, how about making that practice illegal? Activities that destroy companies should not be rewarded. History has shown time, and time again, that all empires fail once they reach a certain point of financial inequality. I do not know your age as you read this, but those who were educated back when it was still important to teach children the truth about history, are aware of this. The problem is that they just don't care. Screw their descendants. If there is a hell, surely these greedy parasites, will have a front row seat to watch the suffering that they will have caused to their own children/grandchildren. Do the right thing. Focus on the criminals and allow the markets to be accessible by investors. The rich boy club does not need any more protection.
