Poet,
I understand all too well how the market works...and that it works differently for different segments of investors. You are most correct in how the market operates for RETAIL INVESTORS. But institutional investors and those that operate outside the legal requirements are not subject to the same set of rules. It is naive to presume that I am market illiterate because you do not recognize this different set of rules. That is the core of this petition, to level the playing field. What I can't understand is why any honest, ethical investor would oppose closing a loophole that allows retail investors to be taken advantage of by institutional investors and criminals.
The personal threats are being phoned and emailed privately, these crooks are experienced enough to know better than to make a threat in a public forum.
Finally Ma'am, your condescending tone is most unbecoming. I thought you preferred open discourse? We are on opposite side of an issue yet I haven't stooped to implying mental defect in your thought processes as you have mine, nor have I implied that you are being led by another.
That you think the petition am wrong is OK by me. So far, we have documented our case and refuted all attempts at discrediting the petition. The responses now are all variations on the same theme, that we don't really know what we are doing, some are done with eloquence and some are quite crude.
Meanwhile we'll keep plugging along till the 31st. Send in the petition and listen to it get belittled for having so "few" signers.
Doing what is right may not always be the easiest or the most popular...but it is still the right thing to do.
