Short interest should have 100% reporting daily. T+2 gives an unfair advantage to hedge funds. There also needs to be transparency with synthetic shorts. They do exist and its also an unfair practice. Fines should exceed the amount of fraud or manipulation. Small slaps on the wrist do absolutely nothing. A 10 million dollar fine on manipulation that made a financial institution 80 million dollars
I am very strongly in support of strict regulations that require the reporting of synthetic short positions. Daily reports of such positions and all other short positions should be required. Fail to delivers in particular need much more regulation. In my opinion FINRA should place regulating FTDs as priority one. More frequent reporting, and shorter time to release FTDs to the public, as
We need more transparency within the market. We need to see daily reports on a specific institution's short position regarding the amount of shares they have on loan, the amount of time those shares have been borrowed, the amount gained/loss due to a short position, and the amount of IOUs/tangible shares that are being traded.

I believe in transparency. Major players in this market push and pull the price of a security to profit with derivatives or push and pull with derivatives to profit of a held security. In spite of the intentional charade to act oblivious and pretend it all was just simply speculation, larger players use brute force means as an investment strategy with arguably plausible deniability. I believe the
Hello, I will keep this as respectful as possible, and please understand, many of us retail investors are feeling EXTREMELY frustrated with blatant fraud in the marketplace. I'll bullet out a few things I'm shocked by which indicate what is hard not to translate as intentional lack of controls and transparency. I can bucket my requests into two simple terms: 1.) Controls and 2.)
Warning: Rule #22-08 is currently the subject of a deceptive advertising attack. Let's play "which of these is not like the others": * Target Date Funds * Funds using cryptocurrency futures * Reverse Convertible Notes * Volatility-Linked Funds The answer is "Target Date Funds". I don't use this, I don't intend to use this; but it's an old tool that's
2008 Ape so strap in. There isn't enough space to cover everything so let me summarize: For every crime someone, say, making more or less than $200k in the market, be it collusion, insider trading, fraud, or what have you, committed and was jailed for, is evenly handed UP to those making more than $1mil to $2 BILLION more or less in the market. (That can be made easier by) *ban and make
