All reporting should include everything. Nothing should be off limits from a fairness in reporting. All reporting should be done daily. We're in the 21st century and we are the greatest country on the planet. What goes on in our markets is a disgrace. Please enact things to bring all of this above boards and transparent. Thank you.
Short interest, shares on loan, order flow data/routing, and all other information available to institutional investors should be available to other market participants to promote true market equality. The same sentiment holds true for the timeliness in the availability of reporting data. The current market structure fails to protect self-directed investors from market manipulation and fraudulent activity, and FINRA should do everything in its power to promote market equality and fair trade.
As a retail trader I would like to request more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public records. It is time to enforce the short naked violations/manipulation of hedge funds involved on $AMC, $GME and any other companies been shorted. I would like to remind you that your mission is to protect investors by making sure the US securities industry operates fairly and honestly. It is time to enforce your regulations!!! Sincerely, Fernie Muñoz Proud “APE”
B. Content of Short Interest Data - The addition of reporting short interest by categories to give a more accurate picture of which entities hold what positions is great for accountability and keeping an open fair market. - Yes. Any short/long position should be reported the same. Synthetic short positions have a history of being used to conceal a form of market manipulation due to its ability to bypass current reporting requirements. - Threshold securites should be given the decency of being shown who is shorting or failing to deliver the stock.
Stop the naked shorting and increase Transparency.
T2 settlement is ridiculous. There’s no reason that information can’t be gathered daily.
The whole market is obviously being manipulated blatantly. This is unacceptable stocks like GME, AMC, MMAT and plenty others are being torn down by these manipulations, the media and fake accounts on social media and investment platforms bashing the stocks. Pay attention to this and you'll see it all
It's time that hedge funds and those controlling the market are punished just like the rest of us are. There is no accountability for these billionaires who continue to manipulate the markets and ruin companies that the people want to save. Stop with these tiny little fines and stop letting these people control what is supposed to be an open and free market! Just make things fair, that's all we're asking.
Short interest reporting needs to be completely overhauled if we want to stay the leading market in the financial world. The current self reporting approach is laughable, and the fines for "misreporting", or what I would call lying and stealing, are a cost of doing business instead of a punishment. We have the technology to track short positions like Japan is doing with Blockchain which prevents shares being loaned naked and rehypothecated multiple times and I believe that is where our market should go towards. We cannot have another situation like GME and AMC happen again.
