Good evening, I write to explain my frustration with the current market, some market makers as well as bad players. The United States stock market is currently very manipulated and it is becoming so obvious that I feel it is endangering the US stock market. Short selling has become a big problem for a few players out there. I believe they have made a lot of money and when caught the fines have
I completely disagree with the new regulation. I reality most publicly traded stock investments are leveraged because the companies you invested in have debt on their balance sheets. The stock a person buys is in a subordinate position to the debt. This debt helps to boost yield. Just like a leveraged fund helps an investor increase yield. If Inverse funds are eliminated then the ability to short
Thank you for asking for comments. I am a fairly new investor (got more serious in January). I love numbers and reports so you can imagine my frustration with all the different results at the end of each day regarding short interest. Fintel would say one thing and Ortex another, etc. I also follow litigation news as well and had a suspicion confirmed when a firm was accused of marking shorts as
Finra regulations must be updated to be more stringent when it comes to the reporting of short positions. This included positions created synthetically. It would also be important to address the reporting of how the borrowing process occurs and through what entities, to prevent manipulation of stocks via over shorting said stocks.

The current practice of short interest reporting is flawed, as Market Makers are legally allowed to naked short for the sake of liquidity, and have means to "clear" FTD's without needing to buy the underlying stock. The enhancements proposed by FINRA would greatly enhance the visibility of short interest in the market, and allow investors to choose stocks wisely while being able to
The additional transparency and short interest reporting rules that FINRA is proposing are a welcome start. All short interest reporting should be made available to the public for 2 reasons. First, this information directly impacts all investors. Second, it is clear that there is no way possible for FINRA, SEC or any other regulator to police the markets. By making all reported short interest
I should be able to invest in the public investments that are available. There should be not any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities.
I use leveraged and inverse funds to hedge my portfolio in volatile market. It is very important to me to have the leveraged and inverse funds available to investors like me. I do not want to sell all the stocks in my
All short selling including naked short sell needs to be reported daily and monitoring must be in place to prevent abuses from market manipulators. Also dark pools of stocks must also be reported and regulated and the failure to deliver crisis must be resolved and those shares must be bought. Supply and demand is a basic principle of are democracy and should be reflected in pricing from stocks to
I have been an investor for more then 40 years and own all types of risk assets including stock and bond ETFs, mutual funds, individual equities in every industry, highly risky and rarely successful option trades and leverages and short funds.
I have had more success trading short or leveraged funds then options. Even a seasoned investor like myself looses money regularly with options. Short
