I think the SI data should be reported daily to FINRA. FTD recover period should be reduced to T+2 and if not obeyed a 500% of the position should be fined to the accountable. Naked shorts should be reduced to a minimum, and ALL data should be accessible to the public, at the end of every market day.
There is a crime spree running free in the stock market and nobody is doing a thing about it. Naked shorting is illegal, and should punished harshly and published for the world to see. If I sell you something I don’t own, that is called fraud, and I would end up in jail. It should be just as illegal to sell shares that don;t exist. The perpetrators of this should get a minimum 5 year prison
Short interest should be live data. There is no excuse in this day and age for up to date information available at the touch of a button. The fact we have to wait 2 weeks for this and the information is already 2 weeks out of date just screams that there are underhanded things afoot. Large institutions and hedge funds have an unfair advantage over retailers as they have better access to more data
Hello. I am a supporter of transparency within the stock market. I have found that there are certain holes in the current regulations that make it possible to conceal important and actionable information from the public. These include: The lack of requirements for disclosure of an entity's short positions The lack of daily (or instant if possible) updates as to the current short interest of
The markets are rigged to the point where a retail investor can no longer rely on them. Between the abusive naked short selling and failures to deliver, it is nearly impossible for retail to get ahead in life. It is illegal for casinos to cheat, so why should market makers be allowed? Please end these practices.
I use the ProShares Ultra Short S&P 500 (2X) as an efficient hedging vehicle vs. long positions in U.S. stocks and stock funds for my personal accounts. I do it in a limited, judicious way and it affords me a smoothing mechanism to offset deep downturns in the broad market, of which we've had several in the last 4-5 years, allowing me to compound a higher level of principal in bull
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.
I'm not in favor of restrictions that punish intelligence and due diligence in order to protect ignorance. Making the system more fair with adequate enforcement against the bad actors that use detrimental activities to exploit and diminish shareholders equity would appear a much more effective approach to improving the systems performance. Naked short selling as an example.
Naked shorting is an extremely damaging practice that shouldn't be utilized in the markets. With it's widespread use, a stock is not sure to be valued correctly. As a result companies that may be beneficial are forced to shut down, lowers investor's returns illegally and undermines people's faith in the market. Regulatory agencies need to prevent these practices.
I am an AMC stockholder. There are a lot of market hijinks going on right now. I would love for you to investigate all the counterfeit shares and naked shorts that are ruining the natural squeeze of this stock. The market needs to be cleaned up and made fair for all....not just the rich. Thank you for your time.
