Market manipulation and naked shorting is supposed to be illegal. But of course as we can see it's an everyday practice for hedge funds on a daily basis with a minor slap on the wrist if brought to light. How is it still possible for so much shorting to still be going on ?
The only way to have any hope of fixing any issue with shorts would be to change trading tech. There should be no reason it is not used on block chain, specifically ledger technology. The settlement of shares in seconds will no longer allow the manipulation and will likely eliminate naked shorting.
100% cfull and transparent reporting on all trades for all stocks. Full and transparent reporting on anything and everything that goes through dark pools, and full and transparent reporting on shorting and naked shorting. If the stock market is an investment vehicle for the people, it needs to be made fair.
Seeing new regulatory rules and requirements is a good step, however they are only as powerful as their own enforcement. FINRA is apparently aware of PFOF, naked shorts, dark pool trading (of up to 89% total daily volume), etc. The rules recently put in place, as well as this request for comment(s) make this obvious. However, the retail investor trades continue to have minimal effect on actual
Accurate reporting with proof instead of an honor system. No more wholesale brokerages that run shares through dark pools to aide short positions. Each share sold once with serial number as proof. No naked shorting is permitted, but it is still happening, so why are the perpetrators allowed to still participate in the market? No mislabeling shorts as longs. Enforce covering of short positions by
While these increased reporting requirements around the currently broadly abused short selling practices in the stock market (including naked shorting, mis-reporting longs as shorts, re-hypothecated shares, married puts/calls, and fails to deliver) are a step in the right direction, the proposed changes do not go far enough to provide transparency and fairness to the public. Please consider

Short selling has not gone beyond simply providing for market liquidity and has become a method to destroy shareholder value. New rules (or better enforcement) need to take place to prevent this from continuing. Start by forcing all brokers to default their clients' positions to "not lend." This will restrict the available shares. Additionally, mandate that all short positions
