SEC Approves Amendments to Publish OTC Equity Volume Executed Outside Alternative Trading Systems
I think any company that is an institution, a bank, a hedgefund, a brokerage or a market maker needs to have any of their orders routed through an order monitoring device before it's sent off so that they can no longer keep committing these society destroying crimes. Hypothecation, synthetic shares, naked shorting, naked long calls, falsely hiding puts by making them appear long, diverting
I think retail is extremely desirous of seeing more frequent reporting and as much of that made publicly available as possible. At least of a weekly or bi-weekly basis. I believe the currently attempted short squeeze is bring to light that lack of transparency is being used to commit fraud and establish predatory roles against companies. The conduct of these financial professionals qualifies as
Get rid of all the T-delay non-sense. We are in a digital era, any delays are beneficial to only the larger institutions. They have to file to make it known when they take a bullish position. Why not when they take a short one? Our system is corrupt, please do what you can to fix this clear advantage for them. I should know where institutions stand for or against any stock I own in real time.
Investors make decisions based on rules and laws provided. All participants in the stock market should be held accountable for the same rules and laws. As of right now there are millions and millions of retail investors who are expecting rules to be followed by short positions, and regulating agencies, and are suffering consequences because they are so clearly and blatantly cheating the rules.

Please do NOT restrict my ability to trade leveraged and/or inverse funds. Inverse funds, particularly, are a way for small investors to protect themselves against market declines.

In addition, leveraged funds are a great help for
All FTD's should be reported daily and all self regulation should stop. All FTD's should be defined in a T1 and settled in a T2. All short positions should be identified publicly. All naked shorts should be excluded and settled with FTD settlements. All fines for violations should be on a per share basis. No more speeding tickets where the fine is cheaper than the position. Let the
First, there is no rule that can be put in place where the repurcussions are fines. Fines are a cost of doing business. Period. The street always makes far more money illegally then they pay in fines. 150% minimum fines. Now, that said, self reporting is a joke. We have the systems and technology available to ensure trades are marked correctly, that they are delivered adequately, not
These are public investments and should be available to the public. If someone is silly enough to invest in the market without the proper knowledge that person will most likely lose their entire investment. With that said, the market is serious stuff. Making profits in the market is only possible if we, the public, can continue to use all the various instruments available in order to make
I strongly oppose this proposed rule. Having managed my own investments for years, I am well aware of the dangers and potential benefits of leveraged and inverse funds. They have been an important part of my investment portfolio for years. I choose to manage my own risk subject to my own investing objectives, and deeply oppose the government regulators trying to manage them for me and others
