NO DOUBT!!! If the sec were looking out for us stinky pinkies would probably be gone, shorting stocks would be terminated, mm's would be unable to manipulate pps, promos would be illegal, u wouldnt need 25k in an account to daytrade..etc...etc.. Could u imagine how trading/investing would be if it were truly a free market and we all got to play by the same rules. WEEEE... I no I would be rich.....
