You should issue a serial number to every legally issued share of each company. Every dollar bill has one. Why can’t shares? Each sale of every share to any investor, retail or otherwise is cataloged and registered when traded. I buy 1 share and have serial number 12345 attached to it. If my share is short sold, you now know my share of x stock at serial number 12345 has now been bought once and
Hello, I find it not only unfair but downright illegal for ANYONE or any FIRM to be able to manufacture shares of stock that they do not own. Often referred to as synthetic shares they seem to be used to manipulate stock prices either up or down at their pleasure and steal hard earned money form the honest shareholders of any given company. How can the honest person decide if an investment in a
Dear sirs
I am testing a strategy using leveraged ETF's. My simulation shows it is feasible and successful. I have the following considerations:
1. ETF's are funds of many stock stocks, especially market ETF such as TQQQ. It has market risk but not the risk of individual companies. Sometimes, individual companies have higher risk than the market itself.
2. My strategy is short
My husband and I have been investing in the market for 22 years without a personal broker. I feel public investments should be available to all of the public,
I invest in stocks and options and I hedge my funds with Leveraged/Inverse Products, including ETF (Proshares Long and Short). I write covered calls on my stocks and ETFS to protect my accounts from the downside in the market and rely on
We all want fairness in the market. No more rules that protect big money from any culpability when taking advantage of access to market features that retail investors don’t have. Conflicts of interest such as market makers shorting stocks they hold the books for, t-2 settlement dates, 15 day short reports, and most importantly, darkpool order rerouting of retail investor buy orders must be
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
Leveraged ETFs provide a valuable benefit to shareholders of all kinds. They generally allow exposure to go long or short an index and magnify that exposure, without the use of complex options which can quickly destroy a portfolio just by the passage of time. I personally use these leveraged ETFs to take advantage of making trading profits such that I not dependent on a buy and hold strategy or
When will this outrageous naked short selling of the Hedge Funds stop? We have such a corrupt system; who will be brave enough to put an end to this madness? The Hedge Funds are no different than the men and women behind “bars,” the only difference is the Hedge Funds are allowed to get away with their crime. The Hedge Funds have robbed millions of shareholders who own AME and GME stocks by
I honestly have been losing faith in our stock market in general and want to bring integrity back to our markets. If shares aren’t properly reported and have the ability to be manipulated on a mass scale then what’s the point of the every day investor even attempting to do anything?? My comment would be to enforce the law on ALL of us not just some. If naked shorting or selling of stocks they
The cat's out of the bag; retail investors now see and know that hedge funds and big business, in general, are taking advantage of the general public. Excessive and indefinite short-selling to drive stock prices down (and some companies out of business), as well as trading away from major exchanges that retail investors cannot interact with is destroying our faith in the system.
