In my 20 years of investment business I have never seen a more blatant illegal manipulation like I have witnessed in AMC Stock. This must have over 3 BILLION synthetic shares that have been sold short. The failure to delivers are beyond counting. The hedge fund backed media lies on a constant basis even creating fake companies to cause fear to try and manipulate the price of the stock down. (See
We need more transparency within the market. We need to see daily reports on a specific institution's short position regarding the amount of shares they have on loan, the amount of time those shares have been borrowed, the amount gained/loss due to a short position, and the amount of IOUs/tangible shares that are being traded. This is also including trades done within the dark pool, not just
I am a "retail investor" who has been aware of naked shorting for over 10 years, being invested in Inovio Pharmaceuticals, one of the most shorted stocks in the market. The manipulation of the share price over the years has been criminal. As stated on your website, "FINRA is authorized by Congress to protect America’s investors by making sure the broker-dealer industry operates
Small investors don't have the knowledge or ability to short stocks or invest in complex option strategies. Inverse funds are an important and simple way for small investors to hedge against loss.

Hi Finra. How are you today? Reason I'm writing this is to ask you to please look into hedge funds that are illegally shorting and manipulating the stock market. For far too long these Hf are hurting the market. As an investor I just want a fair market to invest and I am looking at the regulators like the Finra and the SEC to restore the integrity of the stock market. You are my only hope of
It is easy to understand that, in the long run, markets go up and that, therefore, an inverse fund that shorts an index is not a profitable long-term investment.
But it is also obvious it can be used to hedge long investments and limit the impact of a catastrophic downturn. And since it is related to an index, it is much less volatile and risky than many individual stocks.
Therefore, I don&#
Finra 21-19 is crucial to the integrity of the US stock market. Transparency and equal access to data is essential. The current imbalance in reporting and reporting requirements is severely crippling. The unlimited risk of naked short selling should not be allowed in our country. Failure to deliver data and short interest should be reported daily. Monetary and legal recourse are the only way to
There is no reason all data from the stock market including short data isn’t transmitted in real time. This isn’t the 1920’s and also “family office” is a sham.

Options should never be allowed to
