You should only be able to short positions you own. Dark pools should be off limits and to curb that, I believe DTCC 005 now requires, or will require, to mark/stamp each shorted stock as to prevent them from being naked shorted. We need to punish the market manipulators who are naked shorting shares they don't own (Naked shorting). Without oversight, this market manipulation will continue
Naked shorting needs to be stopped. Darkpools allow for manipulation of both long and short positions, as well as illegal short positions.
Every share should be tracked with unique identifier. Every share should be located and lent only once. Every order should be delivered T+2 or fails mean 10x cost penalty and trading permission halted until delivered. Every short position should be updated with FINRA daily and publicly available.
there needs to be an even playing field. its outrageous how uneven things are right now.
The lack of transparency and the attention to detail is retail investors have is ridiculous. It’s almost as if you shoot a basketball with a blind fold on.
It seems that sanction on companies found breaking the rules are not stringent enough and they continue doing it by paying fines from money stolen from scared retail investors. It doesn’t seem fair to me that market makers should have the ability to trade when they have the keys to the algorithms used by super computers allowing themselves to stack the deck and manipulate outcomes in their favor
For a fair market all short positions should be public. All information she be made public.
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!
Both, short interest and SIPR should be open to the public daily. No exceptions! Also better regulations on short interest should be establish.
Much more transparency is needed in regards to the number of current short sale positions including percentage that have been closed on a daily basis. For far too long retail investors have been dealt a bad hand going against hedge funds who have access to all the detail we do not. Please make the markets what they are supposed to be which is free and fair. Please enforce and intensify the rules
