The lack of transparency and the attention to detail is retail investors have is ridiculous. It’s almost as if you shoot a basketball with a blind fold on.
It seems that sanction on companies found breaking the rules are not stringent enough and they continue doing it by paying fines from money stolen from scared retail investors. It doesn’t seem fair to me that market makers should have the ability to trade when they have the keys to the algorithms used by super computers allowing themselves to stack the deck and manipulate outcomes in their favor. We need an unbiased handler of orders in order to keep transparency and faith of rightful doing for retail investors.
For a fair market all short positions should be public. All information she be made public.
There should be regulations so that the shorting is reported and naked shorting is eliminated. We are in 2021 not 2001 and we need fairness. It's time for change and we want change now!
Both, short interest and SIPR should be open to the public daily. No exceptions! Also better regulations on short interest should be establish.
Much more transparency is needed in regards to the number of current short sale positions including percentage that have been closed on a daily basis. For far too long retail investors have been dealt a bad hand going against hedge funds who have access to all the detail we do not. Please make the markets what they are supposed to be which is free and fair. Please enforce and intensify the rules towards the billion dollar hedge funds who have had made billions on the necks of the average person. This must be addressed!
It would be beneficial to ALL investors to receive accurate data not self reporting data. The benefits of trading with all the up to date real time data not 30 days old would promote a more trustworthy and fair market. Think about it if we see data that is 30 days old and are making trades based on this we are really trading in the past and not in the current like all hedgfunds and institutions.
Creating synthetic shares is the same as counterfeiting. Put some teeth in your fines. Rigt now, the fines are so small, it's just a cost of doing business to these big companies. Do better at investigating nakedshorting and up the fines. All shorting, no matter what exchange, should be reported and made public. Get ridof dark pools. And for pete's sake, it's 2021. Why isn't settlement immediate or at least by end of business
There isn’t any transparency within market. FTDs need to be enforced without delay. NO more dark pools. And SSR should be enforced more strictly. market has become very main stream this year a lot of new investors because of meme stocks - so a lot of these problems are trending to the majority and if nothing changes I can see a lot more people will not trust market after this year.
