Down with the shorters
I am new to investing as a retail investor, but one thing that has been clearly revealed is the lack monitoring and action taken on the hedge funds and other entities when shorting stocks/companies. That the SEC doesn't do anything to stop the naked short selling occurring in the market reflects that the only people allowed to make money in this market are the ones who get away with it given those who are supposed to monitor illegal activities do nothing.
Any trades in the dark pools need to be reported within 24 hours. Naked shorting can be resolved by strict enforcement, illegal use of super computers, and brokerage licenses revocation not monetary fines.
1. All shorts shall be reported to FINRA by end of each settlement day. 2. All unused loaned shares shall be reported to FINRA by end of the settlement day. 3. FINRA shall make public the outstanding unused loaned share(s) by end of the settlement day of a trading week. 4. All threshold securities sho regulation shall be reported daily with a full accounting of fail to deliver end by end of settlement day. 5. FINRA shall enforce FTD purchase upon noncompliance within 2 settlement days.
I believe individual investors should have total transparency on all short positions including naked positions. Total transparency will allow more of a free market and allow individuals to make better investment decisions.
It's good you are trying to get them to be more transparent, but what's going to stop them from doing all this illegal activity still? You need larger penalties and fines and somebody who will enforce the rules in a timely manner, otherwise this ruling will do nothing. Please add harsher penalties and fines and somebody who will enforce them in a timely manner.
Please approve 21-19. I believe all data fields should be publicly available, not just for internal use. We need more transparency in the market and this will help.
I would like to know when a stock has more volume for inflow compared to outflow, how does the share price still keep going down? Additionally, When a stock has a "ladder attack" to it, where is the SEC to step in and stop any manipulation? It is not understandable that a hedge fund company can use naked shorts, which everyone knows exists, yet nothing it done to combat the practice.
