It's time to try controlled capitalism

Are you satisfied with your stock investments procedures, the way they are handled? Once you, the small investor, buy your stocks, your financial adviser shares no responsibility in protecting your investments from excessive losses. That is wrong.

True, you gamble when you purchase your stocks, but there has to be a limit on the amount of loss the small investor can incur.

The stock market is really for the large sum or corporate investors. They control the market. The little investor hangs on to their coattails and cannot afford such losses.

I suggest federal controls on stock market losses for small investors, something similar to what other countries call Controlled Capitalism.

Why should the small investor invest if he or she is going to lose money at every turn in the road because of the large investor controlling the market? It should be a wake up call for the small investors.
