I can't help it but I have to ask this as I haven't seen it yet and with all of the other ideas, which I withhold any criticism or support of as I can't say with a high enough degree of certainty I understand all of the different courses discussed but this one seems obvious as this is America.

Why not "strike," the on-line trading system just like a labor union would strike a company who they were is disagreement with? (I know, that was in the old days)
For example, people could finish any plays they have in progress but after break even or hopefully better, stop trading all together? If every person just stopped trading for a week and I ask this with all honesty

Does anyone have a sincere opinion, please skip the "this guy is a complete dope and I'm not even going to answer him stuff."

I know I'm not the only one to have this thought cross my mind. How would honest on-line brokers react? How would the government react? How would the markets in general react if at all?
It seems to me that the on-line trading industry is far beyond a small cottage industry and has a definitive impact on the overall markets. If this is denied then one at least has to admit that from MMs or Brokers to T/A suppliers to Fund. Analysis’s to news services all must be financially vulnerable to some degree or is there some type of form for this too? Maybe there is "loss of interest in trading insurance?" Seriously, I would love to hear a few opinions about what if any effect there would be. To be open I am of the opinion that anyone who says there would not be an effect is wrong, JMO.

Lets go so far as to say that this is a perfect storm in which everyone who ever lost money suddenly said I chose to invest my money for a month in gold coins or baseball cards but it is not going to the industry.

I think this is a question that if it absurd it will be able to be put to pasture ASAP.
At least give me a break and answer me in a PM if this type of talk is thought to be threatening.

It just seems that people with a vested interest in the online trading industry and especially the clever folks who cause these types of situations would be a bit concerned if the source of money were to stop. Has any type of strike ever happened in trading hitory and I mean one instigated by the investor?

I apologize if this upsets anyone but I always felt the dumbest questions are the ones not asked.
TIA,
Nez
PS- if anyone who member marked me is embarrassed for me or is concerned I have made an idiot of myself in public, don’t be concerned as I have considered the chance of loosing any credibility on the board and never having another question answered again and I still feel this is an intriguing question to take the chance. In the beginnings of labor organization, people never thought it would have a chance but it worked until it became so weak due to corruption of principles occurring and in cases rampant greed all due to the surrendering of the original ideals. It is, to me, similar to what happened to the Roman Empire as well as is currently happening to present powerful and advanced civilizations. I know so little but what I do know or at least am self assured of is that all declines began with ”Grey Area” and the pushing of the envelop.
JMO and I hope I'm still around tomorrow?.
