As long as it’s possible to sell a share short and mark it long, any additional reporting visibility and/or frequency will be diluted by fraudulent data. Delivery of shares at settlement should be a requirement. Failing to deliver a security sold and NEVER EVER having to deliver it is criminal and theft. Transparency is everything.
Synthetic shares need to be penalized and/ or outlawed. Additionally, dark pool trading needs to be stopped. Brokerages that constantly short stocks should be required to reconcile at market value no later than 15 days following the first FTD prior to being allowed to trade openly on that stock.
Dark pools. Why are they here, what are they supposed to be used for. I feel they have been exploited and abused over and over for the benefit of the hedge funds and market makers. They have been used to hide short positions and kick the can down the road in regards to amc and gme.
Something needs to be done about leveling the playing field between institutions and retail investors. With the technology available to us today it shouldn't require much effort for institutions to report their short positions on a daily basis, while also providing more detail in the public reports.
Please make sure that the fines are enough to deter these predatory short sellers. If the fine is only minimal compared to the gain then people will continue to abuse the rule. Also a locate should always be required before a share is borrowed. It seems shares are being loaned out and not located.
As a hard working retail investor, I’m demanding transparency and accountability for the market makers. I want better tracking of short selling, restricted use of dark pools and t-1 clearing of transactions. I’m tired of seeing HFT’s scalp the profit off the market every morning.
Hi, The entire world is watching you. They see GME and AMC being shorted. They also see the FTD’s. You must show leadership through accountability and fairness. The American people will not bail out these hedge funds and market makers. Regards, Ali AMC Ape
I_ not the regulators_ should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all the public and not just the privileged. I am capable of understanding inverse funds and their risks and I don't need restrictive measures imposed on me. I trade _ not invest_ inverse funds using my own short term strategies to enhance
returns.
I find it it incredibly demeaning that the same people who want to do this to us refuse to regulate themselves. Laws against insider trading for Congress continue to fail while they try and tighten the screws on us. Secondly, this is another way to inhibit short selling. You can't just make us buy stocks and bonds and manipulate the market up and to the right. Let the market work on
Different investment products and strategies involve different degrees of risk. So what level of risk is too much? This depends on your risk tolerance—the amount of investment risk you’re willing and able to accept—which is impacted by a variety of factors and is unique to you.
