I'm writing to request more transparency, fairness and accountability in our financial markets, as all of us rely on our regulatory entities for that assurance. There are some things that are of particular interest to me: 1. Transparency of Buy/Sell orders in the market as a whole, including but not limited to OTC/ATS off market trading. 2. Information market makers have when it comes to
FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. While many of the policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective
The following paragraph is copy and pasted, but I whole-heartedly support the message. I believe our markets should be efficient and transparent, not behavioral and speculative.

I believe any additional oversight or reporting requirements in regard to short positions would be a net positive. Abusive shorting of securities has both introduced idiosyncratic risk and reduced faith in the integrity of United States financial markets.

These rules are essential for retail traders to have a chance at Making money in the market by themselves. Hidden short and synthetic short position set up retail for failure. It would be great to see FINRA adopt and enforce these rules
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
Things FINRA should implement: 1. Automated daily reporting of short positions 2. Automated daily reporting of all trading in Dark Pools 3. Automated daily reporting of synthetic shares/naked shorting 4. FTD should be delivered T+2, no exceptions. 5. All data accessible to the public in real time. 6. Force all Market Makers to give retail investors routing options on trades. (option to have your
In a free market people are allowed to short the market. Inverse ETFs are a much-needed product for people who don't want to use margin and don't want to short and want to leave it to the professionals to short. Free markets go up and down and any investor or Trader should have the ability to buy and sell based on technical analysis. To disallow inverse and triple inverse ETFs
Comments: I regularly trade inverse funds. I don't find them "complex" at all. Inverse funds are short which ever index they cover and go up when that index goes down. As I am a very small trader it is the safest and easiest way to short the market.
