Over the past few months, it has become clear that there is a lot of vital market data that is not accessible to the average retail trader. It is not a free and fair market when dark pool trading makes up the majority of trades. The dark pool in essence is a legal black market for trading and it is very exclusive. New and old retail traders have realized the market manipulation that is occurring
FINRA must require proper reporting of short interest by institutions, for too long have they been able to provide inaccurate self-reported misinformation(see SEC for historical offences of mislabeling Short positions as long) without oversight to push down stock values of companies. To maintain confidence in the market, this will be necessary as global interest will leave the US capital markets
Good afternoon, I am not very educated in the stock market and rules governing the actions of parties. However, I know that Naked Shorting is likely illegal and it seems that this has been happening with this merger between MMAT and Torchlight (TRCH). It's also unfair that so much shorting activity can be done secretively. There should be requirements for cooperations shorting to declare
Enforce the margin calls on shorts that are way out of money. If someone has a short at $20 and the stock is at $70, they shouldn't be able to short more before they cover their previous loosing shorting positions. Also prohibit share borrowing from cash accounts, my shares are my own and I don't want to lend them out to shorts... That's like shooting myself in the foot.
The current system is completely rigged against the small retail investor. Short sellers trade synthetic shares and naked shorts back and forth to one another- which creates downward pricing pressure on a stock. How does my 1 share compete against a Short Sellers 1 share that converts into 1000 synthetic shares? How is it possible 3X, 4X, 5X etc the entire float can be traded- with the large
As a retail investor, I am concerned about the fairness of the current financial system. Having read many theoretical posts on r/Superstonk about the economy and doing my own research, I believe that more regulation on shorting is necessary in order to avoid the unfair devaluation of companies and protect smaller companies from its effects. In particular, more needs to be done about Fail-to-
Thank you for the opportunity to make comments. I will begin by saying that short selling should be banned in the United States. It is antithetical to the law of supply and demand, is being abused by hedge funds and market makers and obscures transparency. Seeing as how FINRA and the SEC will not ban short selling here are some of my other suggestions 1. Each Individual Stock Share should have a
the current laws allow the big brokers and hedge funds to make a fortune killing small companies. one highly shorted stock, inovio (INO) has life saving cancer and covid drugs in the making, but are being hampered by shorts. please put a stop to this. make everyone play by the same rules. find a better way to keep track of stocks and how they are borrowed. i think america, and traders around the
I am truly disgusted at how the SEC has allowed hedge fund companies, billionaires and millionaires to perform naked shorts against companies like AMC entertainment (AMC) and GameStop (GME). Please make them cover their short positions and penalize them for performing illegal acts in the stock market. That really takes the honor and integrity out of the stock market and discourages retail
