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.
Follow up from previous email. If a security shows up on the Security threshold list for13 days what are the consequences? Please actually enforce covering of the FTDs. This perpetual slap on the wrist allow Market Makers to continue to exploit the system renders it intentionally unfair at all. Thank you.
I want more transparency and greater reporting. I also want more regulation and action by regulatory agencies regarding the coverage requirements related to short interest and FTD.
Let's make data free for everyone or at least publicly funded and have as much data as possible in real time I mean cmon sports have been able to provide real time data for a long time I'm sure finra is at least as competent as the NFL or even the NHL
-Short positions should be reported on 13F's just like any other positions. -13F's should be updated daily. -Huge penalties for breaking the rules should be strictly enforced. The penalty should be at least double whatever the institution made from breaking the rule. If you continue to fine at an insignificant rate compared to the gains achieved by breaking the rules you are simply taking a cut of the illicit activity. The punishment must fit the crime to be an effective deterrent.
For the past several years, FINRA has encouraged firms to keep their risk monitoring analyst informed if the firm, or its associated persons or affiliates, engaged, or intended to engage, in activities related to digital assets, including digital assets that are non-securities.1 FINRA appreciates members’ cooperation with this request and is encouraging firms to continue to keep their risk monitoring analyst abreast of their activities related to digital assets on an ongoing basis.
Please, in the name of all that is good and holy, I institute more frequent public reporting of short positions. Please make these public reports far more detailed. Retail investors are begging For your help. Please create accountability and ensure a safe and fair market. As it stands now, it is an affront to the American public and favors those who avoid paying taxes. How is this fair and why is this allowed to continue if FINRA’s watch?
On my journey to investing in the stock market and am finding out that groups of Hedge funds have been manipulating stocks for their own and client’s personal gain. Where shorting a stock can be useful to help companies provide liquidity and entice investors, shorting companies to bankruptcy is not. In fact to bankrupt a company in order to make naked shorts disappear (and hence any accountability ) and to eliminate capital gains tax is just deplorable. Hedge funds including other Market Makers have been using loopholes in the process of shorting and bankrupting companies.
