Short Interest of any security should be reported same day not T+2 there’s no reason for it to be delayed this allows hedge funds to manipulate data for 48 hours after a short position is taken to then make it seem like people are selling the stock.
There has been very blatant manipulation of meme stocks including AMC and GME, which are both heavily shorted. As a retail investor I feel the game is rigged in favor of the hedge funds. Please make data on short positions more transparent.
I am an investor in AMC. I, as millions of others, have purchased our shares and held honestly. The hedge funds, however, have continually manipulated the stock market, namely AMC and GME. Their reporting of short interest position and their manipulation of naked shares, dark pool shenanigans, short ladder attacks and getting slaps on the wrist being fined a pittance compared to their net worth
Order execution on the dark pool vs nyse. 1. There needs to be a limit on how many share that can be purchased on the dark pool and sold on the nyse to short a stock. 2. A market maker should not be allowed to handle orders of execution on a stock he or she is shorting. This creates a huge conflict of interest and predatory practices. They will just route your buys through the dark side and your
Please continue to let the small retail investors trying to build their retirement funds when the markets begin to fall, continue to trade inverse and multi-leveraged funds. IRA accounts are not allowed to short stocks and can't get margin for shorting so when markets go down so fast and stops are not always in place, we become "bag holders" in many good company stocks but because
I have been invesing since 1960 in 8th grade when I bought 1 shares of US Seel and 2 shares of Poliroid. US Steel didnt turn out to well but on 2 shares of Poliroid which spit 4 for 1 and then 2 for 1 made about $600 on $120 investment. I have been investing eversince thru corrections , Bull runs and crashes. In the 2008 financial crisses lost 90% because HF's and banks stacked the deck on
increased reporting requirements around the currently broadly abused short selling practices in the stock market (including naked shorting, mis-reporting longs as shorts, re-hypothecated shares, married puts/calls, and fails to deliver) are a step in the right direction, the proposed changes do not go far enough to provide transparency and fairness to the public. Please consider providing all of
If you regulate short selling you limit price discovery. China is restricting all kinds of rights with stock trading. In China you can't even talk about any bad about the market or stocks. Let's not make the same mistakes. enough!
I feel that the reporting needs to be more frequently and made available to the public on short positions, naked shorts and shirt interest. Retail investors are at a disadvantage for not seeing the changes in markets and the flow of orders and the short interest that are restricted or limited to a monthly reporting scheme. It allows market makers and big players to manipulate the market and make
Market makers should not be allowed to have positions in the market, especially short! Anyone could see why this is a major conflict of interest. They have the tools and access to enough money to manipulate a stock price in their favor. The lack of transparency when it comes to shorting activity/positions by market makers and hedgefunds is hurting retail trader confidence as well! How is 50-60%
