I fully support all increases in what must be reported with regards to short positions, and the frequency in reporting. If regulators are truly worried about the gamification of the market then close the loopholes and increase transparency particularly around ‘naked’ shorts. Shorts are just tools but dangerous tools that are currently far too easy to abuse with malice intent.
There should be regulations so that the shorting is reported and naked shorting is eliminated. We are in 2021 not 2001 and we need fairness. It's time for change and we want change now!
Please do something about the illegal marking shorts as longs, prime brokers conspiring with hedgefunds, dark pool abuse, naked shorting, and tranperancy. Stop allowing hedgefunds to abuse shorts and only get a small fine if caught. Serious penalty or jail time for illegality should b considered if u wish fo uphold rule of law
You should consider closing any kind of loopholes, also making anybody who is involved a short selling reporter position on a daily basis, and releasing that information to the public immediately. Failure to deliver, should be penalized on a daily basis, and information should be public on a daily basis. Increase penalties for violation of any short and naked shorting violation.
Short sales in general used to manipulate stock price is price manipulation of a stock and should be 100% illegal. With that being said if it is to continue it needs to be live time and 100% trackable. What I am watching happen with short selling, naked short selling and dark pool trading is beyond criminal and needs to be addressed asap. The world is watching.
Market makers and brokers who hold short positions should be completely transparent about those positions for the public good. Individial short interest in a given security should absolutely be reported up and made available for public consumption in aggregate. The lack of transparency and potential for naked short sellers to completely destroy an otherwise healthy company. If any company can be
I would like more transparency in regards to short interest and naked shorting of stocks. Trading is rigged against retail investors and all I want to see is a level playing field. Thank you.
I'd like to see the ability to hide naked shorts in options taken away, as well as meaningful penalties for breaking rules (fines as a percentage of valuation, turnover of profits made in such a way, etc.). It would also be nice if the dark pools weren't watched over by people with gross conflict of interest. Finally, some actual oversight of shorting would be good (no more self
Hello, I believe that this is a really important rule as we all know what can happen when shorts go unchecked. I understand the reason for shorting but when people get carried away, they can harm another company as a whole. I don't see how there could be any trouble making the info transparent to be able to keep a book on how many shorts are out on the market to avoid any issues of naked
I applaud FINRA’s proposed rule changes and support any rule that makes short interest visible to all investors. Free and fast information leads to better price discovery for all. Buried and outdated short interest reports serve only those who have short positions they wish to remain hidden and those who abuse FTD and naked shorting loopholes to manipulate prices. These actions hurt all investors
