The naked shorting and dark pool abuse that is going on has to stop if you want to call yourself any kind of regulatory agency. It is unthinkable that you allow retail investors to be stolen from by market makers, when it is your job to protect the sanctity of the system itself. Loss of confidence of an ENTIRE GENERATION of investors will likely cripple the US economic system and it will be due
FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. While many of the policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective
I think its needs to be more transparency in the market get rid of dark pool if investors can't use it FTD needs to be more regulated and stricter naked shorting need to be addressed immediately when it happens and stock manipulation
Short interest should not be self reported. Needs to be transparent and reported daily. FTD's should cause HEAVY fines. I mean, HEAVY. Maybe 50% of annual profit of a company. Naked shorts need to be investigated, openly disclosed to the public and result in heavy monetary penalties, as well as temporary ban from trading a particular security (maybe 30 or 90 days ban). High frequency trading
The proposed amendment to FINRA 4560 is a laughable attempt at improving naked short selling internal control measures, actual regulatory action, or really any kind of further obligation on the part of the involved broker-dealers. There have been hundreds if not thousands of regulatory "actions" taken by FINRA related to short sale, and misreporting/misclassification of shorts. This
While these increased reporting requirements around the currently broadly obvious 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
Hello, I wholeheartedly support FINRA's step toward a vastly more transparent system. FINRA requests comment on whether FINRA should publish on the FINRA website short interest data for all equity securities (listed and unlisted). • Yes, absolutely all short interest data should be published. FINRA requests comment on whether the potential short interest enhancements discussed above would be
I am extremely upset at the regulation surrounding short selling and the subsequent naked short selling. Firstly that a stock can be sold without having actual ownership is asinine, let alone not really regulated. I actually think short selling should be illegal as it is similar to stealing and adds unknowable liquidity to the market, diluting the shareholder market and making true price
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
Good day, In response to your request, I know a small part of the issue is the shorting problem of stocks. While I support more immediate reporting requirements the issue is naked shorting as well as mislabeling the short as Long's, using the dark market to manipulate the pricing of stocks, Synthetic shares being created for price manipulation, and other shorting issues being used by market
