that's a damn good question harcourt, the only answer i can give you is that i am a compulsive gambler, and i've paid a heavy price, as in most of my life savings. Yes i made the decisions to buy, but these criminals have the ability with their software to see the retails traders orders and act accordingly, short the crap out of the stock, trigger a stop loss, or make you "average down" and buy more, and repeat and rinse the shorting behaviour, making the loss a double whammy. Anyone else been there and done that ?
