Transparency, accountability and a fair market for all investors. This is what retail investors want. -Frequency in reporting should absolutely be on a daily basis. This should be public information. Not a “pay to play” basis. Companies who profit from hiding this information and selling it, only add to the unfair market advantage faced by retail traders. They will need to adjust their profit prospects to comply with transparency and a fair market. -I see no mention of dark pools. These need to be more transparent due to the fact that 60% of trading happens on them.
The manipulation of AMC synthetic short selling is illegal & it needs to be addressed immediately. Retail investors deserve a fair market free of illegal activity.
There has been very blatant manipulation of meme stocks including AMC and GME, which are both heavily shorted. As a retail investor I feel the game is rigged in favor of the hedge funds. Please make data on short positions more transparent.
More frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports.
While these increased reporting requirements around the currently broadly obvious abused short selling practices in the stock market (including naked shorting, mis-reporting longs as shorts, re-hypothecated shares, married puts/calls, and fails to deliver) are a step in the right direction, the proposed changes do not go far enough to provide transparency and fairness to the public.
Everything should be tracked and automated. "Business as usual" fines should be turned into jail sentences. These guys steal millions and pay thousands! No More Self Reporting!
Please implement these rules and reporting requirements. This will add clarity and transparency to the markets
The federal government MUST consistently monitor the inherent market manipulation executed by certain hedge funds who have short positions in various stocks - mainly AMC and GME. The immense amount of naked short selling, buy orders being re-routed to the dark pool to prevent the stock from moving upward, as well as countless other violations need to be addressed as soon as possible. AMC and GME have seen inflow exceed outflow many days and we somehow close the trading day in the red. Daily reporting on all vital information is one of many steps in the right direction.
I would like to see accurate and up to date info on shorts, Possible naked shorts and failures to deliver. And also ways of enforcing fair market practices.
