Short selling has not gone beyond simply providing for market liquidity and has become a method to destroy shareholder value. New rules (or better enforcement) need to take place to prevent this from continuing. Start by forcing all brokers to default their clients' positions to "not lend." This will restrict the available shares. Additionally, mandate that all short positions transparent and list exactly who and when the shares where lent. It appears to day, given the massive level of FTDs, that naked shorting is happening, illegally, on a mass scale.

Please please please get rid of dark pool trading. They are being taken adavantage of and not being used for what they were meant to be used for

Thanks to the meme stocks community. I have learned so much about the stock market. The Senate Financial Committee investigation into naked short selling found that hedge funds, brokers, and banks were creating 1 billion phantom shares everyday. They recommended an easy method to track all shorted shares. Yet, nothing happened after 13 years, and hedge funds continue to get a slap on the wrist for breaking the law. The list of activities below illustrated how fair the market truly is. That is why I have stopped contributing to my 401K. 1. Naked Shorting 2. Abusive Shorting 3.

What implementation period would be appropriate to provide members with sufficient time to make the systems changes necessary to comply with this requirement? Change needs to happen as soon as possible, immediately to restore faith in the markets. To make these crooked markets somewhat fair to retail investors. FINRA is considering whether daily or weekly short interest position reporting would be preferable. What are commenters’ views on the preferred frequency of short interest position reporting? Daily is the only fair option.
