You are requested to comment on these proposals. Let's face it, the Hedge Funds are going to be using their voices to prevent these changes from occurring so we need to use our voice too. There are a lot more apes than Hedgies. I've cut and pasted just some of the proposals (man, if you think this is a long and dry read, wait until you read the webpage): - Account-level Position
Help us get to T+1 and then to T+0. Help us get rid of payment for order flow. These two things alone will help the naked short crisis that we're witnessing across the market and put more trust in us. Fines should be astronomical on those caught red handed instead of the slaps on the wrists that we know that finra has done in the past. I'm tired of people keep thinking that retail
I am invested in many stocks that I feel have naked shorts in them. I strongly suspect that I even own some in $AMC. I do not feel the market is fair if this is allowed to happen. It gives already very rich entities an extremely unfair advantage in trading. I would feel a lot better about investing more money in the market if I knew that criminals were not just fined, but held accountable in ways
Naked shorts are illegal. They have always found a way around all the SEC regulations and rules. Dark pools, sending stocks to OTC and other countries so the sec cant keep track. letting a human report is always going to lead to lies and illegal activities. the fines are chump change for them. Jail, losing the right to trade. They are children, and like children, you can tell them 15 times not to
Over the past few months, it has become clear that there is a lot of vital market data that is not accessible to the average retail trader. It is not a free and fair market when dark pool trading makes up the majority of trades. The dark pool in essence is a legal black market for trading and it is very exclusive. New and old retail traders have realized the market manipulation that is occurring
Im writing to provide strong rebuke of FINRAs Regulatory Notice 22-08 and its attempt to limit investors/traders (I/Ts). What FINRA is proposing is tantamount to treating I/Ts like immature children. Its highly evident in the statement FINRA released: However, important regulatory concerns arise when investors trade complex products without understanding their unique characteristics and risks.
Addressed to Yvonne Huber & Racquel Russel. Thank you both for requesting comment on Short Interest Position Reporting. I find it hopeful and positive that FINRA has acknowledged a gap in their ability to oversee Short Interest and Fail-To-Deliver Positions. In order to protect American investors (many of whom rely on equity positions ins 401Ks and IRAs to have a hope of retirement) FINRA
These changes cannot be made soon enough! We need all the SI data we can get - consolidated data that’s publicly available AND (not alternatively,) more granulated data should be provided to regulatory agencies. FTD’s should be publicly reported, and actors should be punished when FTD’s occur. This should include criminal prosecution where FTD’s are due to chronic malpractice and/or price
When will this outrageous naked short selling of the Hedge Funds stop? We have such a corrupt system; who will be brave enough to put an end to this madness? The Hedge Funds are no different than the men and women behind “bars,” the only difference is the Hedge Funds are allowed to get away with their crime. The Hedge Funds have robbed millions of shareholders who own AME and GME stocks by
I honestly have been losing faith in our stock market in general and want to bring integrity back to our markets. If shares aren’t properly reported and have the ability to be manipulated on a mass scale then what’s the point of the every day investor even attempting to do anything?? My comment would be to enforce the law on ALL of us not just some. If naked shorting or selling of stocks they
