The way the stock market is set up for the larger entities to easily outweigh performance of the average retail trader is completely absurd. With stocks that are being massively shorted, much like Tesla (TSLA) was back a few years ago, and other stocks now like Gamestop (GME), AMC Theater (AMC) , Nokia (NOK) and many more, it allows such a distrust in the system for who can make money FAIRLY. If
It's way past time to implement very frequent public reporting of short sales, with all the detail concerning counter parties listed for the public to view. It's clear that naked short selling is occurring. What will the SEC do about it?
There has been very blatant manipulation of meme stocks including AMC and GME, which are both heavily shorted. As a retail investor I feel the game is rigged in favor of the hedge funds. Please make data on short positions more transparent.
In order for markets to perform in an efficient manner, there must be opportunities for investors to take long and short positions. In as much as leveraged investment vehicles exist for long positions, there much likewise be leveraged short positions available for investors. Leveraged investments provide the opportunity for investors to enhance their returns and need to be available to all
I dont understand how we as the ou lic can figure these things out about naked shorting, rehypothecation, using OTM calls and Puts to hide FTDs and short positions. How can we find this out with limited information, but it seems large institutions are lost. I think it's fair to say that shorting should be reported because hedge funds and large institutions can't be trusted. I mean it
The fact that hedge funds can manipulate a stock with short selling stocks that are not even available is a crime that needs to be punished. This is not a new senerio but one that has been overlooked for a long time. Now millions of retail investors have realized the fraud and are demanding action. If this is not rectified the retail investor will pull out of the stock market as it is not a level
Shorting as a market practice is a ridiculous concept to begin with because in no other area of a capitalist market can you borrow something that is already owned and then sell it, only to buy it back at a lower price to intentionally profit off of the initial lender. That aside, self reporting clearly isn’t working, and the ability for borrowed stock to be mis-marked, intentionally or otherwise

Short sellers need to report there short positions just like long positions, puts, calls, etc. And just as often. Dark pool trading needs to be made illegal its not fair that one side of the market is made to disclose their position and the the other is not.
Market manipulation and naked shorting is supposed to be illegal. But of course as we can see it's an everyday practice for hedge funds on a daily basis with a minor slap on the wrist if brought to light. How is it still possible for so much shorting to still be going on ?
