My experience investing has been limited to my own money from my retirement savings and having NO FORMAL education in investing. (I am 73 yrs old and my occupation was that of an Audiologist.) When the Federal Reserve over-extends credit causing inflation, I have to make up for my losses due to that inflation. One avenue is to short treasury notes via TBT and that vehicle has been a very
This has all the hallmarks of market manipulation similar to what was seen during the Bush Administration in 2008. This type of manipulation wouldn't be necessary but for the incredibly loose monetary policy and failure to properly regulate IPOs, and especially SPACs, that seemed designed to take money from retail investors and give it to insiders. You can't possibly be worried about
do something about naked short selling instead of ignoring it. the reputation of the market is being harmed, and millions of new retail investors are watching. do something about the same handful of institutions trading the same shares back and forth millions of times every month to manipulate the market and steal from retail investors. publicly report when institutions are margin called. audit
SEC Approves New Rules Governing Communications With the Public
As it stands, I see no reason why any of the bad actors will accurately mark or report their positions. Even with a condensed reporting timeline, there is no vehicle for FINRA to keep track of mismarked/illegal/synthetic/etc. short positions. Recommend that stocks released by companies should have tracking numbers so that short positions shall be required to have a one for one trace via tracking
Naked shorts, synthetic shorts, dark pools, all must go. Where is the fairness in trading on t Wall Street if the retail inverstors are at a disadvantage? There has to be more transparency on Wall Street, there has to be someone in charge who enforces the new regulations from SEC and FINRA, and reporting practices must be on a public level. Hedge fund and retail investor must have the same
Stop allowing market makers and others to naked short sell and not be margin called at the end of a REASONABLE period- one week?- - enforce FTDs so that shorts are covered AND cancelled and make all transactions on all equities that are on the exchange and open to individual investors transparent and reported for these individual investors to have knowledge on a given equity. Market makers have
I would like for institutions to report naked shares and synthetic shares on a regular basis. The realistic option would be design a system that would not allow naked shorting. A system that would not even make it possible for them to naked short or sell synthetic shares. It puts retail traders at a disadvantage. On a side note, hedge funds are no longer needed. It's an outdated and
Have all short sales be reported to finra by end of each settlement day. Make public and report the day to day short sale by end of settlement day or the trading week. Have unused loaned shares reported to finra by end of settlement day. Make public the outstanding unused loaned share by end of settlement day of a trading week. Make all threshold securities regulation reported daily with full
As a self-regulatory conglomerate it is beyond the reasoning of a "retail" investor as to why such ordinances do not already exist. The SEC itself has proclaimed naked-short selling to be a well established predatory and dangerous practice that undermines the free-market operations of millions of non-institutional investors who cannot play by the same rules. In addition to the
