Not all reparations are evil. Consider the massive amount of reparations online companies should be forced to pay.
Here is one such online company's deeds:
When I called my online broker with a complaint, the customer service representative gave me double talk, asked inappropriate questions and played dumb.
In the last 2 days, two of my positions disappeared.
Cash should balance with beginning cash, +/- trades to equal ending cash. Recently it didn’t.
I was denied the ability to sell for bogus reasons.
When I send a written message to get a written response (to prove they are screwing with me), I don’t get a written response.
As a concerned investor I am seeking reparations for myself and everyone else who have lost much of their savings.
Please be advised that discount broker, TD Ameritrade, provides a gateway to investing. If they are bad gatekeepers, they should pay reparations.
A local broker will deal with you face to face but don’t let him/her lure to an online behemoth. (A behemoth is a beast from the biblical Book of Job)
Call me, "Mr. Surly"
