The right to sell short in a stock market should not be limited to the super-rich. The average investors should have the same right through inverse funds. The risk should be borne by the investor himself, who should know what he is doing, and NOT forcibly eliminated by the seemingly good intention of the Regulators!
The current state the US market is full of fraud and manipulation. There is definitely a need for change. It’s a massive conflict of interest when a company is a hedge fund and a market maker!! All shares, synthetic and short, needs to reported daily and posted for retail investors. The market makers/hedge funds have all the information in front of them to make their informed decision. Retail
The gambling of Wall Street must end. The entire world economy is at risk from the gambling of a few bad actors. Company's can be destroyed by dark money pools short selling and pushing down stock prices rather than their ability to perform for its clients and in the market place.
Please don't assume that investors don't understand the risk associated with leveraged investments. If you want to fix the market, then don't allow the short interest of a stock to exceed the total float of the long interest. Verify that ETN are properly backed so wild market swings can be covered.
Short positions should be reported daily. Any attempts by institutional investors to drive stock prices up/down (smear campaigns, fake DD, Spam/Ads) should result in fines that actually impact the guilty parties, not just a tiny percent of the profit from the illicit activities. There needs to be actual penalties for breaking the rules, or the so-called "free market" will ever truly
To whom it may concern: I would like to know if there are plans to repair the fines in regards to short interest reporting, naked shorts and dark pool trading? I think that naked shorts should be fined based on the quantity of fake shares multiplied by the price of the share in question. So for 5 million fake shares at say $25 per share would result in a $125 million fine. This is a fair way,
This is great and all along with all the new regulations by the SEC, DTCC, FINRA, etc. However, these regulations are toothless in nature and are either not enforced by regulators who look the other way or they impose a very minimal fine that does not affect the institutions violating the law. There are a set of rules for the retail investor then there is a set of rules for market makers and
When I buy and hold a stock, like AMC, the obvious hope and intent for me is that the price will go up and I will make a profit. So it doesn’t make sense to me that an entity that holds my shares for me, like Robinhood for example, can lend my shares to someone else then the borrower uses my shares to short and drive down the price. They benefit by achieving their goal of lowering the price, the
Hello. I am a supporter of transparency within the stock market. I have found that there are certain holes in the current regulations that make it possible to conceal important and actionable information from the public. These include: The lack of requirements for disclosure of an entity's short positions The lack of daily (or instant if possible) updates as to the current short interest of
Close dark pools and cancel shorting stocks it is unfair to retail investors and the companies that are going out of business. This system is rigged and unfair to the investors and worker. We demand change, how is this even possible? If it wasnt for the greed of SHF , the rest of the world would've never uncovered this.
