1) Daily short reporting, not this every 15 days nonsense. If we rob a bank we go to jail, the hedge funds pay a $1,000 fine and go back to work and profiting. 2) No more restricted trading. Blockchain type IDs for every share issued and no borrowing of shares at all. 3) No selling of shares that don’t exist at made up prices. Get rid of the market maker exception. This violates the law of supply
Comments:FINRA should restrain from limiting access to leveraged funds. These funds are suitable for any investor that understands how leverage can be effective in achieving a financial goal. Obviously these funds are more for short term trading so the trader should be vigilant. Long term inexperienced buy and hold investors are better served elsewhere. Any investor should have access to these
When a hedge fund/market maker takes a short position, and their position turns into failure to deliveries, why are they allowed to just pass that position around between each other (market makers/hedge funds) in order to reset the 13 day clock that should have forced them to cover? If a retail user gets margin called because of their position they can't pass it to another retail user
I do not want regulators to limit the use of inverse and leveraged funds to the general public. This would limit my ability to invest using my retirement accounts, in which other investment strategies are not allowed, such as options and short selling. If these funds are straight forward to investors through the prospectus and following current regulations, no other measures should be imposed on
I am a small private investor with a great deal of experience however I might not measure up to your new strict standards.That concerns me as I use these investments as short term hedging vehicles. I shouldn't have to go through a special process to qualify, what brokerages have in place now is very adequate. Your proposed new rules would make these products the exclusive trading grounds of
I’d like to voice my support for Short Interest Position Reporting Enhancements. In today’s digital market and environment, information is the most valuable resource retail investors (and others) can have to make responsible decisions with their finances. More frequent and accurate reporting are important… as well as penalties for non-reporting that are MORE punitive than the potential gain from
We need more transparency in the short interest data, with technology today we should be able to see up to the minute not T+2 . Failure to Delivers should also have more up to minute reporting so the retail investor can make the best financial decisions based on current data not there best guess off data that drips in slowly while hedge funds have the current data to manipulate the market.
I don't know about this short sale rule. I live in Sweden and I always thought that the US is a country that treat's everyone equal. Since I bought stock on the US market the only thing I feel is that every time someone mentioned a rule I just take it whit a grain of salt because nothing happens whit the market. You can make thousand more rules but it doesn't matter because no one
SSr is a joke.... no one is watching. SHorts should be reported like longs, sales, purchases, options, Why would we leave one single loophole open? Markets need transparency, or we stop trusting them, and bye bye retail, bye bye 401ks, bye bye most Americans....No one is too big to fail. No one is too small to succeed. This is the American Way... forsake that, and this country is [REDACTED]
