control of our miserable stock markets . For starters , if we can not have the reasonable
expectation that Level 2 should disclose an accurate account of stock for eventual sale with
the concomitant bid and ask being shown along with it , then why should we have to pay one
red cent for this so called service ? As we are the customers this information should at least be
accurate ; nor should there be a charge for it . As well , we should see real time bids being dis-
played with no 15 minute delays . What /whose interest does that show ? I call for honest markets !
And with all of the trouble and scams that short selling brings , I would call for an immmediate
end to all short selling . I do not buy the proposition that shorting is healthy for the markets . Look
at the results we see . It leaves havoc , and we greatly resent that major distortions occur in stock
prices when the price is artificially manipulated and the price is kept low on purpose . Whose interest
does that serve ? Certainly not that of honest long stockholders .I would take my chances with illiquidity .
