This is a joke, what kind of a free market scam are you selling me here? Hedgefunds have caused a market crash before and they're okay doing it again because there is no consequences and infinite bailouts. Retail investors can't even have fair competition with them because they have access to darkpools while we don't, they access to naked shorts and we don't, we don't
I recently became interest in investing. I am self employed with no retirement. I am afraid to put money in because I feel like large market maker hedge funds have an advantage by controlling the market. It is obvious that they trade in dark pools to drive the price down, short viable businesses into bankruptcy by making up millions of shares, while controlling the media. It’s pathetic, I have to
Dear Sir/Madam:

I use these tools to short the S&P 500 or other indexes when they have become frothy (in my view). These products reduce the volatility and allow me to stay in core positions longer. I use them as short-term hedges and the risks of staying in them too long

I for one am in favor of the enhanced reporting requires. An efficient market can only exist when accurate information is available to make informed decisions. As there is ample evidence of past and present naked shorting despite restrictions against it, requiring proper disclosures of large short positions, along with sufficient penalties to ensure accurate reporting is critical to identify the
General’s speaking, the more reporting, the better. Especially when it comes to short interest as well as synthetic short positions.
