Hi FINRA, what were seeing in the stock market is unprecedented. 71 percent dark pool volume for AMC from the same people that have a short interest. This is unacceptable in any “free and fair market”. Short selling is a cancer on the back of the US financial system and has adverse effects on the rest of the world. We need more transparency from the “too big to fail” players in the market and
The ability to short a stock legally is fine. The fact that FTD exists should be illegal. You can not fail to deliver what has been purchased. Also any purchase short or long that is below a dollar value of 20 million dollars should by law be required to be done on a public exchange and not in a dark pool. This would make sure illegal or price manipulation activities like high frequency trades
I currently feel that this needs to tracked more accurately and made public. I personally feel like things are done illegally and this would atleast help make things more transparent. Have also seen suspicious activity done on sort sale restrictions days (selling millions of shares worth of deep in the money calls to force market makers to short a stock to remain delta neutral). I'm not sure
Proposed Rule Change to Extend the Clearly Erroneous Pilot Period and to Remove Certain References to Individual Stock Trading Pauses in FINRA Rule 11892
We would love to see short sale institutional/hedge fund data be reported just as the regulations require long positions 13F filings in order to file and finalize a purchase. Currently we have an issue where naked shorts have been created in several stocks across the market, but could be better regulated by requiring such filing so be submitted before large scale institutional short positions are
If the US market looks to be seen as a free market we need to have transparency. Dark pool trading has gone on unregulated to the point of becoming a place where institutional investors can go to hide their elicit trades; this needs to end. All authorized shares should be able to be accounted for at any given time during market hours. Fines and penalties for FTDs and naked shorting of stocks
Stop allowing naked shorting that’s NOT REPORTED and stop allowing a short position to be pushed out further using more options and avoiding fail to delivers ALL WHILE NOT BEING REPORTED. No one should be able able to short a stock over 100% of the float and yet when it happens everyone looks the other way. So why should they stop? Slapping on the wrist with a small multi million dollar fine
AMC has already stated that they have enough liquidity to stay in business until the end of fiscal year 2022 and yet Market Makers, Prime Brokers, Hedge Funds, continue to short the stock on purpose to bankrupt the company and completely disregard the failure to delivers and blatant manipulation with minimal transparency to retail investors and they are getting away with it everyday. Please help
Shorting as a market practice is a crazy concept. No other capitalist market allows borrowing something that one person owns, sell it, buy it back at a lower price to profit off their initial lender. Self reporting clearly isn’t working and the ability to borrow stock is way mis-marked. Everything should be labeled and marked in real time so the corruption can be stopped and we play a fair game
Need better eyes on massive shorted stocks regulations blocking naked shares and a sec representative mandatory at every hedge fund Corporation. From what I'm seeing you guys are either paid off or don't know what the [REDACTED] you're looking for. Billions of dollars being stolen from retail investors for more years than you can count on your fingers and nobody has done squat to
