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.

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
As an investor in our countries “fair & free” stock market the suspicious activity surrounding a few stocks has made myself (and millions of other investors) quite skeptical on the integrity and fairness of the US stock market. The world is watching to see what happens as greedy hedge funds with billions of dollars tinker around with the market with shady (even illegal) tactics that could
