Hello i would just like to comment on how unfair it is to individual investors that market makers and hedge funds can route trades through the dark pools as they see fit with no oversight. I would suggest that you eliminate dark pools and make the fines greater than the profit hedge made from the illegal the illegal trading activity. Jail time is needed for market manipulation and short positions should be forcibly closed out if illegal market manipulation is found and trading rights of those involved should be revoked.
My comment on the rules is to actually enforce them. Honestly, take a look at obvious naked short selling and market manipulation. We the people have lost trust in a "free" market.
SUBJECT LINE: Regulatory Notice 21-19 To Whom it May Concern, In a fair and open market there should be transparency and a level playing field for all investors. Right now, there is a massive deficit in access to information, trade speed, preferential terms and types of trades, and pay-to-play investing that heavily favors institutional investors over retail investors. Additionally, institutional investors engage in relationship-based, illegal, or near-illegal activity on a daily basis that give them an outsized influence on the market.
I am really in the dark about how a lot of the short sale regulations apply but more in AWE at how many of them are not enforced. Market Makers and companies like citadel should have to report ALL of what they do, should be held to a much higher standard and not be able to manipulate the markets through synthetic shares, dark pools and the like. It is basically stealing money from the retail investors and it needs to stop. In my opinion it needs to go back to trading only in methods that allow real pricing, real order flow data and REAL SHARES to be used.
I deeply concerned with the validity of the entire stock market. Specifically, naked shorting and market manipulation amongst current hedge funds. Please investigate in detail naked shorting and delayed order flows.
We need the transparency and FAIRNESS in our markets. What do they have to hide? Why NOT report short positions? Does it give an advantage too not disclose them? This is WAY overdue!!
