It’s ok to short shares that you own. It’s never ok to naked short or create synthetic shares.
There needs to be regulations like the ones listed on synthetics and naked shorts since naked were deemed illegal. these Hedge funds are making hand over fist controlling the markets and crashing us to make even more money. They need rules and regulations just like anyone else does. This currently is not a fair and free market its a dictated market by huge hedge funds that have no regulations.
Enforce rules, larger penalties, end naked short selling, transparency or end/reduce dark pools, limit high frequency trading, limit ability to short sale-naked-over and over, transparency in short sales, regulation sho-strict adherence and compliance regarding threshold list
Anything and everything related to short positions, including synthetic or naked shorts should be made as transparent as possible, as soon as possible. No more shuffling around FTD's, no more short ladder attacks, no more waiting days/weeks for the data to be published. Level the playing field for all.
Short selling to bankrupt a company should be illegal. Not that the legal system does anything about the naked shorting that's being abused. Short selling is essential to the market, but something needs to actually be done to the hedge funds who abuse this system. It's not fair and it's not right.
We need more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in those public reports. Naked shorting is illegal!!!
Please require all institutions and bonafide market makers to report their short positions who are subject to 13(f). Real time reporting of short positions would be beneficial as well. SSR rule needs to also account for naked shares. There have been multiple cases of $gme and $amc being shorted on red candles instead of being shorted on green candles when SSR is active.
If naked shorting is illegal why allow loop holes around it? All short interest positions should definitely be reported. I’m a proud Retail investor in Inovio Pharmaceuticals... a company saving lives for Cancer and Covid that’s been in the top 25 shorted companies list far too long. It’s really sad that when I speak of this company I have no choice but to state how the SEC is allowing shorting
It will never be a fair playing field if shorts are not disclosed and we will look like frauds to the entire world. Naked short sellers deserve prison.
Along with getting updated publicly accessible free short interest daily to level the playing field, hedge funds should have to file their short positions in 13Fs #AMC Naked shorting also needs to be identified and stopped and FTD's need to be purchased. Can't have all these "IOU's"
