I have done my fair share of research in US regulators. I think it's a sham. When laws and rules arent specific they can be bent. These rules are kinda broad Mr.Gensler. I noticed a lot of apes stopped analyzing SEC filings. We all know that the SEC is not exactly who they say they are and the extent of their power is broadly defined and confusing for almost everyone. The SEC was created a little bit after the NYSE came about. These regulators are barely breaking 100 years of age, and quickly lost the trust of retail investors-the very people the SEC had sworn to protect. Should we trust you Gary? I believe none of these people, especially Gary Gensler should be trusted right off the bat; I believe trust should be earned and so far there are no regulator accomplishments in history that proves to me or anyone that they intend to do the job they say they do. I've been digging through your garbage, Gary and friends. I have been reading into a ton of regulatory documents from the SEC, CFTC, IOSCO, FINRA, IASB and many others and I barely scratched the surface, but I did find that the SEC goes after people that are not in their circle, and usually average investors get hurt the most. It's funny, really. All of these regulators swear up and down that they are here to protect us investors but there is not a single instance in their lifetime that they have protected retail investors (non-accredited). While criminals get a slap on the wrist, "protected investors" lose their life savings. Regulators are a joke, and their rules are the punchline. I have a theory so far. My theory is that the reason why almost all regulatory rules and laws are so broad and undefinable is so that when they are investigating and "enforcing" these broad laws and rules on someone that same someone wont be able to protect themselves or fight the SEC because the SEC can interpret their own rules any way they want, basically making it up as they go. The people need to come together and demand more transparency from regulators, and all market participants, including a simplified/organized rulebook for all to abide by. Of course average investors barely understand the scope of the SEC, and are unable to manipulate a stock unless they rally one, but then again everyone is doing it. By the way the SEC only handles civil matters. Conflict of interest turned into a Financial Mafia. Same with FINRA, the CFTC and many other regulators. Conflict of interest is an evil thing in the financial industry, the reason being is that the SEC will and has avoided investigating someone when they had previous or current ties. Ties=Payments between parties, similar past employment, in the circle, friends/acquaintances/family. This has been an issue for decades, almost every accredited regulator or market participant is guilty of this. These individuals go from working for a market maker to working at the SEC or vice versa. Individuals go from working at a hedge. Fund to working for the CFTC or vice versa. From market participant to a regulator happens much too often, making these jobs interchangeable and conflict of interest. They dont care about us because they are in their own little club where they steal everyones money and act like its legal. I speculate that they work with market makers and SROs and they usually slap fines on individuals they have ties with, and only seek to truly punish individuals (not in SEC circle) making tons of money using a manipulative trading tactic that usually goes unnoticed. They are sitting on their asses, criminals pay them to. What's crazy is the lack of oversight over this insane amount of market abuse happening on the side of market makers and its subsidiaries. CFTC regulates most hedge funds, FINRA is supposed to protect us from this market maker manipulation. At this point I find it easier to believe that market manipulators like Citadel are lining the regulators pockets to keep them from doing their job, but they have been sitting on their ass for too long and forgot how to do their job entirely. Demand Regulatory Accountability through Congress. All of us should call up congress and leave complaints over the regulatory negligence to protect investors on a million occasions. Tell them no one is fixing the corrupted stock market, then give them a list of problems. My list would be ban PFOF, new laws for short sellers-report all short positions, make naked shorting impossible or at the very least visible and punishable, ban/limit dark pool abuse, I know there is a whole bunch more but I'm getting tired. Good bye. #buythedip #possibilities #longterm #seccorruption #cftccorruption #finracorruption #amc #gme
