Short interest reporting by all of these entities should have complete transparency. Failures to report on possible FTD’s, never delivering those shares or marking short positions as long should result in repercussions equal to the actions. Small fines or as they can be referred “the cost of doing business” for some of these funds or entities are unacceptable. Reporting should be even more
I think its needs to be more transparency in the market get rid of dark pool if investors can't use it FTD needs to be more regulated and stricter naked shorting need to be addressed immediately when it happens and stock manipulation
FTDs should not exist - if said security isn't delivered, liquidation is a must at agteed upon date - no more loop holes and T-#s - And 100% transparency on short positions daily
Failure to delivers on short positions should be set in stone and enforced throughly and simply. For example, you take a short position out and there should be a time frame on when you have to return them and once that time frame is hit, THEY HAVE TO DELIVER THEM. no funny business. No borrowing more shares to cover previous ones.
I have watched the market manipulation since March on this stock. Putting on sell pressure by posting large sell orders and them disappear when they outcome is what they are wanting in the buys side. They are playing with our hard earned money and the playing field is skewed. Orders not being filled and platforms rejecting orders that match the same orders from short sellers. Enough is enough.
We need more transparency within the market. We need to see daily reports on a specific institution's short position regarding the amount of shares they have on loan, the amount of time those shares have been borrowed, the amount gained/loss due to a short position, and the amount of IOUs/tangible shares that are being traded. This is also including trades done within the dark pool, not just
Systematic short attacks on the retail investor should be illegal. Synthetic shorts have flooded the marketplace. Minimalistic fines are outdated & corrupting the American economy vicariously by encouraging such activity giving short sellers a slap on the wrist for robbing Americans.
We need a free and fair market. Meaning “rules and regulations” that actually work. Rules and regulations that truly hold people accountable. Not turning a blind eye or slapping cheap fines on those that break said “rules or regulations.”
I would like all sides to play by the rules. I think players that go short have the right to do so but should have to disclose their postions just like going long through a 13f or what have you. Every share in existence should be able to be tracked to every person that owns said shares, it is already being done in cyrpto. Overall an emphasis on transparency in the market needs to be better.
Dear Committee, While efforts to improve transparency are appreciated, I believe there is no mention of dark pools. There needs to be more transparency on shorting going on behind the curtains. Moreover, shorting needs to be regulated. There is certainly no need to short a business if there is no evidence of foul play by the businesses. Running businesses into the ground doesn't allow fair
