I recently joined the stock market. But I see there’s a lot of corruption with short sellers. I hope this can be straightened out so we have a fair market to do trading. Several of my friends are thinking about quitting trading all together if it doesn’t begin to be fair
FINRA and the SEC aren't doing enough to level the playing field for retail investors and we deserver the right for better transparency in the market. It's clear that illegal shorts are not covering their positions yet the slap on the wrist fines are merely considered the price to do business. This has to change!
End Naked Short selling. The market manipulation behind stocks such as $AMC and $GME is so blatant at this point, that the entire world is watching. It is embarrassing as an American citizen to see nothing being done about this. Especially after the 2008 market crash. We have to put an end to this.
As a common retail stockholder, I would very much like to see much more current and much more detailed reporting of short sale activity. I would also like to see investigation as to possible malicious or surreptitious activities by large companies with resources not available to retail investors.
We want more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports. The entire market is rigged. Authorities are not doing their job. The public think they are on the side of the hedge funds who have created all these problems and taken advantage of this broken system for decades.
As long as it’s possible to sell a share short and mark it long, any additional reporting visibility and/or frequency will be diluted by fraudulent data. Delivery of shares at settlement should be a requirement. Failing to deliver a security sold and NEVER EVER having to deliver it is criminal and theft. Transparency is everything.
Time and again you try to pass regulations while pretending to be doing it to protect our investments. We do our own research before investing. There are enough disclosures about the risk we are taking. Instead of focusing on regulating valid investments you should focus on naked short sellers that are destroying our wealth.
If you’re one of the millions of Americans expecting a tax refund, take a minute before you rush and spend that found money. Here are six ways you can use your refund to help you improve your financial status in the long run.
I have owned shares of ProShares inverse funds for several years while mistakingly expecting a major drop in the stock markets. I will be very upset if my shares are eliminated by FINRA and I must take a large loss instead of recovering some of my investment when the markets finally correct. Shorting the markets is a legitimate thing to do.
