As a retail investor it would be nice to see increased transparency from financial institutions. No more naked shorts, or at least increased naked short share exposure, decreased use of Dark Pool trading, required reporting from every institution on their positions (short and long) to organizations such as FINRA or Ortex etc, and forced coverage of FTDs when they are due. All of these are
the question shouldn't be about updates on the subject, but why naked shorts arnt felonious to begin with! so why are naked shorts a thing is my comment.
Good Afternoon FINRA, I'm emailing you regarding the proposed rules 21-19 about short positions. The current US market is completely fraudulent with ZERO incentive to do right or disincentive to avoid fraud, with the regulatory agencies being complicit through their complacency. Decades of unchecked fraud and market manipulation through naked short selling by large hedge funds like Citadel
There needs to be actual punishments for abusive naked short selling, not just fines. Actual jail time please. A fine is the cost of business at least, and bribery on the part of the powers that be at worst. If not prison, then at least a fine that's worth something. Take a note out of Korea's book and take away every coin of profit from a naked short sale, if nothing else. As for short
I would like for institutions to report naked shares and synthetic shares on a regular basis. The realistic option would be design a system that would not allow naked shorting. A system that would not even make it possible for them to naked short or sell synthetic shares. It puts retail traders at a disadvantage. On a side note, hedge funds are no longer needed. It's an outdated and
I deeply concerned with the validity of the entire stock market. Specifically, naked shorting and market manipulation amongst current hedge funds. Please investigate in detail naked shorting and delayed order flows.
Confidence and faith in the US stock market is decaying rapidly. I'm the poster child for this decay. Up until this year, I really wasn’t paying attention. I was under the mistaken impression that the market was fair for all participants. Over the past year, I’ve realized that this game is rigged, primarily through the essentially unregulated use of illegal synthetic (naked) shares by key
In regards to regulatory notice 21-19 regarding short positions... In my opinion, the current US financial system is highly fraudulent, with the regulatory agencies being complicit. They are complicit by complacency, with years of unchecked fraud and market manipulation through naked short selling by large hedge funds like Citadel and Susquehanna being allowed to happen with impunity. The SEC and
ALL shorts positions must be made public to curb illegal abusive naked short selling. This proposal doesn't go far enough to prevent this practice; for the majority of financial institutions, fines are merely the cost of doing business and well-worth it. Illegal naked shorting is rampant, widespread, and well-known to the public despite FINRA's continued inaction. Do better. I say this
There are no rules. Why even have all of this? Naked shorting continues, dark pool trading is out of control. EVERYTHING is set up for the institutions and the super rich to get richer, and the retail investor to be left holding a bag. The institutions are allowed to continue to gamble recklessly and get bailed out when it doesn’t go their way. There needs to be real change in the system to be
