All short positions should be reported including synthetics (why does that even exist). Every share should have a unique identifier that can’t be lent out multiple times (like we used to have with physical paper). Maybe we could have a free capitalist economy if competition was allowed and the best companies perform the best. A company shouldn’t be shorted and driven to bankruptcy because someone
I NOW use leveraged ETFs after stock market has plunged ~20% or so. For example i am leveraged now since sp500 dropped from 4800 to 4100 and i believe we have bottomed.
