Naked short selling and the black market should be illegal. Every share should have a specific number assigned, tracked and allocated for daily. Each share should only be borrowed for a short position one time, using the specific number assigned. Once the borrower share is returned, only then can it be used again. Short positions should never exceed the actual number of shares that exist for any
I believe a more transparent form and frequency of short position reporting would be very beneficial to the stock market and retail investors specifically based on increased trust in the institution as a whole.
I lost over $100,000. To stock symbol GTEH because of the tremendous amount of short selling mostly by some market maker called CDEL out of Chicago. The CEO of GTEH has grossly diluted the GTEH stock. Can you please research this and put an end to it on behalf of the 1000 s of GTEH Shareholders, we collectively have lost over 90% .
Reporting needs to be more than monthly, weekly at latest. It also needs to be changed so that it 100% accurately identifies short interest and delineates between real and synthetic borrowed shares for short interest.

I appreciate the efforts on behalf of FINRA and the SEC to eliminate these events of malpractice by enforcing the rules that are currently in place, as well as, providing the public with more accurate and
Well, where should I start. I haven’t been trading long, approximately two years, but in that short time it’s become completely clear that every rule/restriction set in place benefits hedge funds and short traders. Dark pool is an absolute mind blowing joke. Shorts can just trade large order stocks back and forth, with no transparency, and drive the price downwards at any given time. That’s just
The unbelievable amount of market manipulation is astonishing! It’s really laughable because the government allows blatant illegal practices unchecked until they’re required to cover. All information should be made public because ultimately it’ll strengthen the economy because people will consider it fair! It’s sad a company that’s trying to get off foot is constantly able to get beaten into
More transparency with the whole process more detail on short positions
You need to increase fines for non-reporting of short positions. The current plan is not even comparable to a slap on the wrist for the large hedge funds. It would more than likely hurt them less to pay the fines than to actually report on their short positions. As for the frequency of reporting, daily with full transparency in all aspects of the market would be appreciated but impossible. Also
