FINRA should have more transparency in short positions and made accessible to investors. All 6 proposed changes are an excellent start.
Increased visibility into market activity. Retail investors cannot be kept at a disadvantage to institutional investors. It's not a fair market if we aren't playing the same game, with the same tools and the same information. Dark pool trading needs to be limited to specific use-cases if not removed entirely. No high-frequency trading. Short positions should be disclosed and those
Rule 1. All short sale shall be reported to finra by end of each settlement day. Rule 2. Finra shall make public report the day to day short sale by end of settlement day or the trading week. Rule 3. All unused loaned shares shall be reported to finra by end of settlement day. Rule 4. Finra shall make public the outstanding unused loaned share by end of settlement day of a trading week. Rule 5.
I encourage FINRA to implement new rules, including this proposed rule on short interest reporting, to provide more transparency for retail investors.
Member firms should be aware of an alleged large-scale data breach possibly affecting Oracle Cloud services at firms and third-party providers. FINRA recommends that firms review this information to assess any potential impact to their operations, as well as with third-party providers who provide services to the firm. FINRA previously delivered an email to firms whose domain names appeared in the threat actor post, as well as any firms that previously informed FINRA of their use of Oracle products and services.
More transparency on short positions is necessary. Long positions are able to be seen by all. Retail deserves the same transparency on both positions.
I am an adult, have free right to choose my investment. Don't restrict the short ETF. American stock market needs it to cool down and control our desires.
I have an existing position in pro shares short the S&P 500 because I Believe that stocks are dangerously over valued ,and as a hedge if my retirement fund should go broke.
I am against the proposal to limit individual investors access to leveraged investments. Their use is an important part of my investment plan to take advantage of short term opportunities in the market.
Dear Finra, I request you make short selling data more transparent, updated and available to the public. Thank you. Malik.
