To whom it may concern, Short interest positions should be reported daily. Dark Pool trading should be banned. I can understand the argument for their initial creation, however I do not trust financial giants from misusing the dark pools for price suppression. Payment for order flow should be completely banned. Retail investors should be on an equal playing field as hedge funds and market makers
I find it appalling that Hedge Funds are allowed to continue shorting stocks that don't even exist daily. It truly amazes me how THE most talked about and purchased Stock can go down daily. The fact that there is so many people cheering for the stock to decrease and force a company into bankruptcy makes me sad. We are talking about real lives here. There are over 6 million retail investors
I believe, as a retail investor who wants to keep investing in the future, the more transparency we have in the markets the better. Wanting a level playing field is well within reason, and shorting companies into the ground to kill them off is wrong, I don't think that will change but some of the other predatory practices and illegal tactics that have been uncovered are worrisome to say the
Every institution should have to report their short position(s) immediately and be made public. The time is takes for market makers to cover failure to delivers on the thresh hold list needs to be reduced from 13 days to 3 days. All failure to delivers should be reported T+2 days. The penalty for creating synthetic shares should be the same as creating counterfeit fiat. Fines for market
the T2 system on short information needs to be T0 and live or at least updated hourly. FTD submissions should be daily on a T1 system. Large institutions have a huge advantage to see live market data and can act fast, swift, and often negatively affecting the retail investors experience with the stock market. Everyone should have equal opportunity to see live market action and data to make a
I guess the idea of more far-reaching regulations is to protect some some investors from losing money. But what about those who might make money? Why should policy be based on one group, and not the other? But even if it would save all investors money, I would still opposed to it -- because it is not the role of government to effectively be making investment decisions for its citizens. The whole
I am AGAINST passage of FINRA’s Regulatory Notice 22-08 taking effect.
I use leveraged indexed ETF's actively trading them over short time horizons under steady participation in a long time horizon (25+ years) to smooth out inconsequential market fluctuations, even as much as 50%+, as part of my overall portfolio strategy. The financial services providers servicing these funds have been
Risk and reward go together in Free Enterprise. The responsibility to understand risk and then willingness to engage are an individual's prerogative. Those of us who are educated, responsible, and recognize the downside should be allowed to invest in leveraged funds. I am somewhat offended that people who don't understand the risk "cry foul" when they don
We really need robust oversight if we are going to allow these reckless gamblers making the very markets. Selling something that doesn't exist. Creating fraudulent property. selling the same property to multiple investors. Shorting stocks that don't exist. Selling stocks that don't exist. This damages the faith of the people that markets are fair and safe. This hurts people. We
If it’s one thing that Melvin capital, citadel, point 72, Susquehanna and Virtu have taught me, in conjunction with the ongoing short selling sagas of certain meme stocks, is that if something isn’t done quickly an entire generation of investors will abandon the US stock market. We are very clearly an oligarchy, which is not only an insult to our founding fathers, but a travesty enacted upon
