Nice that you are realizing just how rigged our markets are. Tillions of dollars have been stolen from investors and thousands of jobs lost thanks to abusive naked shorting. One of our former SEC Chairman asked "how much fraud are you willing to accept for liquidity" when speaking about naked shorting. In 2008 the regulators had no choice but to put in regulations that temporarily protected the banks , brokerages, etc.. to prevent them being devoured. Since its a long holiday weekend I suggest your spend time reading the blog Patrick Byrne started called
http://www.deepcapture.com/ as this tells the story far better than I could and so far Patrick has been proven to be correct in both his statements and his predictions. In addition to that to stay current a board has been established here which invites all to read and contribute:
