Yep, same old, same old. Seems, like the retail trader is always at the bottom of the totem pole. To a degree, I suppose we are to blame. After all, we fund the SEC, and other regulatory agencies. Instead of protecting our interests, they are far too cozy with the big $ interests. And they'll always find defenders - folks who excuse incompetence, or other abuses. It's amazing. Today f.ex., my other broker (Cyber) almost cost me a fortune when they experienced "technical difficulties". So, I expressed my irritation, here on SI. Some clown immediately springs to their defense! As if it is all MY fault! And how dare I complain! Nothing surprises me anymore. Morgan
