Well, where should I start. I haven’t been trading long, approximately two years, but in that short time it’s become completely clear that every rule/restriction set in place benefits hedge funds and short traders. Dark pool is an absolute mind blowing joke. Shorts can just trade large order stocks back and forth, with no transparency, and drive the price downwards at any given time. That’s just the tip of the iceberg though. SSR is not enforced at all, and Hedge funds have basically no penalties for FTD’s.

The unbelievable amount of market manipulation is astonishing! It’s really laughable because the government allows blatant illegal practices unchecked until they’re required to cover. All information should be made public because ultimately it’ll strengthen the economy because people will consider it fair! It’s sad a company that’s trying to get off foot is constantly able to get beaten into bankrupt just because one person feels like it to make billions with no risk at all! They ftd all day but fines don’t matter after they accomplish their goal

More transparency with the whole process more detail on short positions

You need to increase fines for non-reporting of short positions. The current plan is not even comparable to a slap on the wrist for the large hedge funds. It would more than likely hurt them less to pay the fines than to actually report on their short positions. As for the frequency of reporting, daily with full transparency in all aspects of the market would be appreciated but impossible. Also figure out how to either stop naked shorting or at least a way to report on the amount of naked shorting that takes place.

The world will be a financially better place once Citadel and their evil spawn are forced into liquidation.

I am writing to FINRA to comment today, pursuant to 15 U.S.C.A. § 78i, titled Manipulation of Security Prices, to prohibit manipulative and deceptive tactics that artificially depresses the price of AMC Entertainment and other securities in contravention of the laws of the United States.

Short sellers need to report there short positions just like long positions, puts, calls, etc. And just as often. Dark pool trading needs to be made illegal its not fair that one side of the market is made to disclose their position and the the other is not.

The fact that hedge funds can manipulate a stock with short selling stocks that are not even available is a crime that needs to be punished. This is not a new senerio but one that has been overlooked for a long time. Now millions of retail investors have realized the fraud and are demanding action. If this is not rectified the retail investor will pull out of the stock market as it is not a level playing field. The fact that a stock can have significantly higher buying than selling but continue to drop due to short selling is horrible.

There is no transparency within the market. End Dark pools. Strictly enforce SSR Enforce FTDs without delay. Make everyone, not some, play by the rules properly

The once a month short reports a a dis advantage to a ll traders. They can short more that 100% and we should be able to find out what the short interest is at will.
