There is so much of blatant manipulation going on in market and synthetic shares created out of no where. Request very strict jail or otherwise punishment and strict law to avoid such practice which impacts retail investors. Short selling should be allowed only on limited percentage basis and naked short selling amd derivatives contract around same should be out right banned to avoid castor tropical impact like 2008 crisis.
I encourage FINRA to implement new rules, including this proposed rule on short interest reporting, to provide more transparency for retail investors.
