Let me begin by stating I believe the apparent inability to administer existent provisions regarding shorting and naked shorting demonstrates a gaping hole in the system. FINRA and all related regulatory bodies have ignored the scams played by the hedge funds in hiding their activities as well as permitting a hedge fund to be the major market maker in a security they intend to pummel and drive
Hello and good evening. I would just like to comment that it makes no sense why the market maker "Citadel" trades on the dark pool that they created not having to report any information while they look at every order we make. Investing in a company should not be playing against the house, this is not a casino, it is an investment for the better of our economy. FINRA (you) reported GME
Naked shorting and dark pools have allowed manipulation of the stock price. They are able to bring the true stock price dow in order to save themselves which is unfair to the American people!! We work just as hard study the market hard if not harder and we do not have access to manipulate anything it's win or lose for the people. This is so unfair I personally have lost thousands of dollars
Short positions should have to be reported immediately upon hitting the threshold list. Which as you know means FTD's are running rampant, they should be forced to cover in entirety to discourage institutions from dragging out their mistakes if they've had enough days consistently to reach the list. This would have saved them billions to date. Also Prime brokers should be required to
Short selling, as a tool was intended to hit back at corporations that were found to be cooking the books. Unfortunately, today it is a tool with nefarious intention with no regard for the impact it might have have on an otherwise good company, it's entire employee base and downstream jobs it involves itself in. As one who has managed portfolios and also invests privately it has never been
I request the following to be taken into consideration for addition to the proposed rule change: - Short positions held by market makers should require enhanced reporting. In addition, anytime an options contract is opened by a MM well below market value for the stock, the time of trade and involved party should be reported. - Incorporate ETF short interest in reporting requirements. - Require
While it's nice to see this request from retail investors, good intentions pave roads to nowhere. What is initially needed: - enforcement of existing rules to stop naked shorting - enforcement of existing rules to stop FTDs - enforcement of existing rules to stop dark pool selling of retail orders - enforcement of existing rules to stop labeling shorts as "exempt" from SSR Once the
To whom it may concern: It is my understanding FINRA is looking for comments on 21-19, regarding short posions. I think it is very clear that the current US market is full of nothing but fraud, with the regulatory agencies being complicit. They are complicit through their complacency, with years of unchecked fraud and market manipulaon through naked short selling by large hedgefunds like Citadel
The current US market is tainted with fraud, with the regulatory agencies being seemingly aware or not doing their function properly. Through complacency - years of unchecked fraud and market manipulation have been allowed to happen with impunity. The counterfeiting practice of naked shorting has happened for many years, with nothing being done to rectify the illegality of the market conditions.
I want a more transparent market for retail investors. Live accurate data that isn't 2-30 days delayed and partially reported. It is a distinct disadvantage that retail has when it only gets part of the picture. I also would like to see more regulations and stiffer penalties on naked short selling. The fines that are handed out for FTDs and naked short selling are a drop in the bucket to
