The report examines attitudes and behaviors around investing among two Gen Z segments (ages 18 to 25) in the United States—those with and
There are five major suggestions I have: 1. All short interest data be updated daily; 2. No longer allowing the synthetic long loophole to short; 3. No longer allowing shorting in dark pools so the activity can be fully traceable; 4. If a firm FTD, for any reason, they are prohibited from shorting until they cover; and 5. Using blockchain to track every short order executed to ensure a complete

They compose an integral part of my investment strategy primarily as a volatility nuetralizer and as a hedge against downside risk. To date, I've successfully avoided punishing 2022 loses-
Just stop with the nanny state already. Enforce the rules you already have and obtain convictions for the fraud and malevolence which are everywhere in our financial markets. If you cannot prevent the looting at the ARK funds, or the huge batch of highly questionable IPO's from 1H 2022, what business do you have regulating leveraged instruments.

It is ludicrous to expect any self-reporting method of counting short positions to be anywhere near reliable. Organisations engaged in industrial scale naked shorting will obviously not tell the truth about their positions, especially when the fines for mis-reporting are a tiny fraction of the profits they can make. The only trustworthy method of counting shorts would be to count the shares in
I would like to comment on two particular components of 21-19. -"It is possible that the public dissemination of more granular data could discourage short-selling activity, which is an important mechanism for both efficient pricing and for liquidity provision. We also request comment on potential negative outcomes of making this information publicly available on an aggregated basis." -
