I believe, as a retail investor who wants to keep investing in the future, the more transparency we have in the markets the better. Wanting a level playing field is well within reason, and shorting companies into the ground to kill them off is wrong, I don't think that will change but some of the other predatory practices and illegal tactics that have been uncovered are worrisome to say the least. If they don't change I believe a large amount of retail investors will give up on the stock market completely and thats a lot of money to lose.
Hi there, thank you for reading my comment. I support all of these new rules. However, re: rule #1, I would like to see that in conjunction with rule #2, not as an alternative to it. I also believe all short interest data should be reported on a daily basis not just to FINRA but also to the public as this data is crucial to some trading strategies and I believe it is available to institutions but not retail investors.
I am the holder of AMC stock,there is too much short selling,naked shorting,fail to deliver,computer generated Algorithms,manuplation,delay in buying shares,routing the buying of shares to citadel by brokers like Robinhood and sharing of info with hedge funds
Pretty much what everyone said before me! I’m uk based and I’d love to see a level playing field and severe punishment for anyone trying to do crime in the market or anywhere else for that matter. If you mug someone in the street off you pop to prison so why is doing exactly that on Wallstreet any different? Please do the right thing and you’ll have so much more respect from a lot of people Thank you and good night regards Mark
If we all know the hedge funds are stealing from us. You can't tell me they Don't Is manipulate the cell price of stocks, the interest they charge themselves. It's the biggest conflict of interest I've ever seen from the people in charge to the government monitoring these thieves. 99% of this country would be behind bars if we did what these hedgefunds did.
First: Short selling to drive companies out of business should be illegal. All short sales should be made public before trading starts every day. Easily accessible NOT buried on a remote website. Short sales in excess of 1% of outstanding stock should be reported immediately and displayed with the stocks ticker symbol.
While the rules being put into play this year are good in essence, it doesn't do any good of they are not enforced. That being said, with all of the research and exposing retail investors have done over the last 7 months, it is very clear to the world that the "free" market does not exist. It seems, though lack of transparency and lack of action, that FINRA, the SEC, and all other market regulators are working in cahoots with hedge funds and market makers for profit. The retail investor is not protected in any scope of the word.
Yes way more reporting and enforcement. Clear manipulation of the market by shorts not reporting.
Every institution should have to report their short position(s) immediately and be made public. The time is takes for market makers to cover failure to delivers on the thresh hold list needs to be reduced from 13 days to 3 days. All failure to delivers should be reported T+2 days. The penalty for creating synthetic shares should be the same as creating counterfeit fiat. Fines for market manipulation should be equitable to said profits made by manipulation. High frequency trading should be illegal.
