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
I believe I have the right to use leveraged or inverse ETFs as part of my investment strategy. Since shorting stocks is not allowed in a retirement fund, inverse ETFs give me the freedom to take advantage of situations where market conditions are unfavorable. Likewise, options can be used at far greater risk than leveraged ETFs. That said, some might enjoy the use of options to hedge a large
the system right now is set up for me perfectly since I am a inverse trader. it is a trading system I use instead of shorting stocks which if I had to like most inverse traders would defiantly do along with day trading which in my opinion would cause havoc on quality stocks and the market and also would cause a lot of traders to go into options were a lot of traders would get hurt financially. I
The blatant manipulation against AMC and GME makes me lose complete faith in the US stock market. I am working on moving my money out of the US stock system. It's clear that our government is bought and paid for. This system with tutes lying about short positions, dark pools, secondary books by brokers, unchecked FTD's and high-frequency trading makes an unfair playing field to where
Domestic and international retail investors are in dire need for a transparent and fair free market. Public scrutiny of market makers, investment firms and brokerages is at a tipping point where the average investor does not believe in a fair market. Individual investors are uncovering evidence of insider trading, price manipulation of securities sold in the NYSE and more importantly "Dark
Hi FINRA, what were seeing in the stock market is unprecedented. 71 percent dark pool volume for AMC from the same people that have a short interest. This is unacceptable in any “free and fair market”. Short selling is a cancer on the back of the US financial system and has adverse effects on the rest of the world. We need more transparency from the “too big to fail” players in the market and
The ability to short a stock legally is fine. The fact that FTD exists should be illegal. You can not fail to deliver what has been purchased. Also any purchase short or long that is below a dollar value of 20 million dollars should by law be required to be done on a public exchange and not in a dark pool. This would make sure illegal or price manipulation activities like high frequency trades
I would like to see the stock markets overhauled with a crypto blockchain style solution. Every share can then be tracked and identified with a unique token per coin. This could be created with specific user definable fields such as "shortable" where a user can specify whether or not his/her shares can be shorted. This could also enable a field to increment each time a share is shorted
I object to any prohibition to banning inverse funds. They are an easy way of shorting markets. It's useful to me to have a small ammount in inverse funds that can be sold to buy stocks in a crash.
Instead of trying to pass more restrictions for average lower income bracket investors, how about you looking into institutional shorting of stocks? The way they manipulate the market so easily is criminal.
