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
Daily reporting of new short positions. Complete transparency of companies entering short positions (similar to the way long positions are reported).
We need more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in those public reports. Naked shorting is illegal!!!
Shorting stocks to ruin lives for personal gain is wrong and should be illegal. Continued shorting could cripple the economy. #AMC #GorillaGang
Just want to say all aspects of short sales need to be much more transparent, along with dark pools/naked shorting, etc.
AMC STOCK IS UNDER ATTACK BY ILLEGAL SHORT SELLERS LIKE CITADEL!!! IM NOT LEAVING UNTIL EVERY SHORT POSITION IS COVERED!
Once again, Goldman Sach, et alia, will run amok and smackdown all of us. They'll say buy as they are shorting and buying and when they say buy they'll be shorting and buying.
Shame on you!

Though naked short selling was made illegal after the 2008 financial crisis, loopholes exist that allow for this practice to continue.
