All short positions, FTD's, short interest, dark pool prices and Naked short positions -- must be available, public information -- immediately for all -- at all times... all information about everything must be available immediately for everyone. I mean, come on, this is obvious for a fair playing field. Hedge funds are getting away with crime after crime. the playing field must be equalized. otherwise, your crew is complicit in criminal opportunities. Rudy took down the Mob. Apes will take down Wall Street..
Now that the market is digital start transferring all information using blockchain formulas similar to or Ethereum. This is a circumvention of responsibility by either not reporting or misreporting. If you take away the report and make it instantaneously reported you could track it and it would instantly report itself. It would also protect itself.
You should only be able to short positions you own. Dark pools should be off limits and to curb that, I believe DTCC 005 now requires, or will require, to mark/stamp each shorted stock as to prevent them from being naked shorted. We need to punish the market manipulators who are naked shorting shares they don't own (Naked shorting). Without oversight, this market manipulation will continue and it could really hurt not only retail investors but the companies that are being publicly traded.
Naked shorting needs to be stopped. Darkpools allow for manipulation of both long and short positions, as well as illegal short positions.
Every share should be tracked with unique identifier. Every share should be located and lent only once. Every order should be delivered T+2 or fails mean 10x cost penalty and trading permission halted until delivered. Every short position should be updated with FINRA daily and publicly available.
there needs to be an even playing field. its outrageous how uneven things are right now.
The lack of transparency and the attention to detail is retail investors have is ridiculous. It’s almost as if you shoot a basketball with a blind fold on.
It seems that sanction on companies found breaking the rules are not stringent enough and they continue doing it by paying fines from money stolen from scared retail investors. It doesn’t seem fair to me that market makers should have the ability to trade when they have the keys to the algorithms used by super computers allowing themselves to stack the deck and manipulate outcomes in their favor. We need an unbiased handler of orders in order to keep transparency and faith of rightful doing for retail investors.
For a fair market all short positions should be public. All information she be made public.
