Daniel Carter Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

Short positions should be reported daily. Any attempts by institutional investors to drive stock prices up/down (smear campaigns, fake DD, Spam/Ads) should result in fines that actually impact the guilty parties, not just a tiny percent of the profit from the illicit activities. There needs to be actual penalties for breaking the rules, or the so-called "free market" will ever truly exist and we'll never be on a level playing field. Naked shorting should be illegal. the ability to borrow shares exceeding the float is wrong.

I've been trying to make some extra side money in the stock market for my family for the past year of so. I started out in Robinhood but eventually switched to Fidelity for obvious reasons. What i've learned tho is that my chance at succeeding in the stock market are minimal, regardless of the amount of research i've done, or amount of personal money i've invested. The odds are stacked against me, dates for FTDs, options expiring ITM all seems meaningless if people aren't held accountable.

Shorting is a fundamental part of the free market, but surely naked shorting of any kind be it physical stock, bonds etc should carry such a severe penalty that hedge funds thinks twice before going down that path. Hedge funds should be playing by the same rules as anyone investing in the markets, it should be free and transparent for all participants. The SEC has turned a blind eye for to long and retail investors have had enough.
