1n the first place, naked short selling should not.be allowed and we know that it is because there is no way to police it. This would help.
The number of shares in the market directly influences the value of those shares, and therefore the investments holding them. Anything that changes that count, no matter how many or how few, MUST be reported and published in order for investors to make informed decisions. There is NO situation where the dilution or concentration of available shares should be withheld from investors.
Please stop the corruption and stop letting big money and the market makers manipulate the system to their favor. I realize long ago, America was an oligarchy controlled by the rich. The shades have been pulled back and the world is watching. Please make the big guys adhere to the rules that retail has to follow.
I think everyone would agree the Dark Pool trading reporting, The Citadel Connect routing their own "dark pool" being reported on and things regarding anything dark pool related would be a great place to start, as of now the data isn't close to the whole picture. Leverage, actual leverage, not HF's hedging positions hiding shorts through hedged calls and puts, hiding shorts
Hi FINRA, Please take care of the dark pool and short sale activity that's recently murdering the integrity of the U.S market. Some "meme" stocks might not have any fundamentals behind them, but the level of [REDACTED] going on with the hedgefunds controlling time & space is unbelievable. In June and July, dark pool trading has accounted for 60/70% of the trading volume,
In support of these changes.
Of course these standards should be placed and enforced. There’s been a massive failure of honesty for several decades amongst institutions, and it’s time for them to finally come out into the light for once. The reward for their dishonesty is far too great to trust them on their own, and movements need to be made to regulate them more strictly and more transparently.
All short positions data should be released DAILY. THE SEC SHOULD ENFORCE THEIR ALREADY ESTABLISHED LAWS INSTEAD OF FORCING US TO HIRE LAWYERS TO GO AFTER HEDGEFUNDS THAT TRADE SHARES IN DARK POOLS. THE AMOUNT OF MARKET MANIPULATION THAT OCCURS DAILY WITH ONLY A SLAP ON THE HAND IS RIDICULOUS! MAYBE START ENFORCING MARGIN CALLS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE CITADEL'S FINANCIALS TO SEE IF THEY HAVE
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
I support these regulations giving more data and transparency to keep manipulation of the stock market from occuring.
