I t hink the current vagueries of the short market are an absolute disaster. We need precision and accuracy to determine reasonable market moves- something in this "self-regulating" market, we simply dont have. Too many companies fail to disclose or accurately disclose their short positions, and simply pay the fine later after theyve made their money on the backs of those who couldnt
Please put these new rules in place. We need transparency in our markets, especially with regard to short selling and dark pool activity. Naked shorting, short ladder attacks, spoofing, as well as online intimidation is taking place on stocks like AMC and many others for that matter and it just isn’t fair to the American people. Prime brokers like Citadel should not be permitted to reroute retail

I am ashamed at how blatantly our markets are built to generate wealth for a select few at the expense of main st businesses and people. It is an embarrassment that over 100% of a company could be sold short.

In a fair and open market there should be transparency and a level playing field for all investors; be they retail or institutional.

We can clearly see that large institutions are buying massive quantities of AMC/GME stock (for example) on the dark pool and then flooding the

I am sick & tired of large hedge funds such as Citadel performing coordinated ladder attacks against GME & AMC, as well as others. Those two charts frequently pattern in lock step with each other. Investors know, as I assume FINRA & SEC does as well, that naked shorting is taking place on a grand scale. To make matters worse, the bulk of the short sales, particularly on
