I am writing to request that FINRA reform their short-sale and FTD reporting to the highest enforcement standards possible. Specifically, I am concerned that FINRA's current blindness with regard to alternate formations of short interest through "married puts" and arranged financing leads to unquantifiable systemic risk which can then be rolled over indefinitely with low borrow
I find it repugnant that unelected officials like yourselves have the audacity to tell me how I can invest my hard earned capital while members of Congress feel that they are entitled to trade on inside information (which is illegal for us "unwashed" ) and allow large funds naked short securities (which is also illegal for us "unwashed" ) and not blink an eye but seem to get
If the US market looks to be seen as a free market we need to have transparency. Dark pool trading has gone on unregulated to the point of becoming a place where institutional investors can go to hide their elicit trades; this needs to end. All authorized shares should be able to be accounted for at any given time during market hours. Fines and penalties for FTDs and naked shorting of stocks
Transparency and fairness for all investors is all anyone wants. What has been happening over the last 6 months in certain stocks is unbelievable. Hedge funds need/must be held responsible for their actions when it come to FTD's naked shorting, etc. just the same as retail traders must follow the rules set forth by the governing body. Please this is huge for the US trading markets and will
Need better eyes on massive shorted stocks regulations blocking naked shares and a sec representative mandatory at every hedge fund Corporation. From what I'm seeing you guys are either paid off or don't know what the [REDACTED] you're looking for. Billions of dollars being stolen from retail investors for more years than you can count on your fingers and nobody has done squat to
I really getting tired of these hedge companies driving down the stock every other second total suppression we have everything stacked against us as retail.all this naked shorting, failure to deliver’s , trade off line , hiding short shares in options itm and Otm . They have hundreds of millions shorts hidden and kicking them down the road . Say they covered GME or closed. It mathematically
I am a retail investor and have been for close to 12 years now. In my opinion, short sellers should be transparent in their dealings and if I had the ability, I would close dark pool opportunities for institutions since it seems to be a way to manipulate the market data overall. Regulations should be as up to date with data tracking and not be in a delay such as with the Ortix report coming out
(1) Lately I have seen time after time (failure to delivers) FTDS hit outrageous and unprecedented numbers SEC has fined market makers in some instances fractional fines of a percent to continue doing business. If this kind of activity is allowed, can I turn do the same? I would be more than glad to do the same if their's no disciplinary actions against this. (2) Naked shorting is illegal.
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
Hi Yvonne Huber, and Racquel Russell About myself I am a typical retail investor who has just began studying for the FINRA exams. Concerns/ Suggestions: 1. Please reduce the buy back period for Market Makers to T-0 this is the standard for other countries. 2. Please make the Fee for missing out on the T-0 5% of the FMV of the current price of the share multiplied by the number of FTDs and charge
