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
I request that regulation and enforcement be equal for all stock market participants. It is frustrating to know how many advantages, privileges, and self oversight benefits are granted to institutional investors, market makers and clearance houses. The crimes are no longer speculation. There is public information on repeat offenders and habitual lawbreakers taking the stock market hostage to do
As a RIA for over 20 yrs I have seen my fair share of shorting and have done it with some equities in special cases for aggressive clients. I am a small independent RIA that uses a combination of ETFs and individual stocks in the management of my clients funds. I can tell you flat out that the system of clearing and reporting short sales is completely broken. This is especially true with small,
I agree with everything there 100% needs to be more transparency in the stock market. I believe reporting should be done daily so that it will be harder for someone to try and hide or fake their positions since they won't have time. With all the money they make and High Frequency Trading these firms do they have no reason to say reporting daily is too hard or impossible. I also recommend
Gamestop and many other stocks have been and continue to be a target to illegal naked short selling that needs to stop, protect the retail investors and companies from crooks and cheats that use illegal practices to stay rich and keep the poor broke as well as drive companies that do good in the world into the ground. Get rid of PFOF, insider trading, politicians having any part of trading, dark
I have traded in this market for DECADES and it has come to my attention since being out of work how much naked shorts, market manipulation and price spoofing and lastly killing any signs of a increased stock like AMC its criminal. Ive alerted my attorney and am very unhappy . Im sure the institutions are doing what they need to protect itself but myself and others have came in the middle of a
I agree with the proposals as listed. I believe this would prevent or reduce the manipulation many believe the market is subject to at present. As such it would promote confidence within retail investors many of whom believe that institutional investors have made the market inherently unfair to them and as such retail may begin to disengage with investing. These proposals I believe would also
I do not need any governing body deciding for me how to invest. There didn't seem to be any concern over how retail investors spent their money in the stock market until January of 2021. Institutional investors repeatedly creating systemic risk by their gambling with derivatives are an actual imminent threat to our markets. They are the ones who need significantly more regulation and
Bring back the protections put in place by FDR and worked for 75 years! The uptick rule, the prohibition against naked shorting for EVERYONE, strong enforcement of predatory stock manipulation, etc... The most powerful forces on Wall Street prey on small investors, we the people, and it needs to stop! They are parasites at the expense of jobs and the savings of everyday Americans. Do the right
Purposefully creating synthetic shares of a security for the purpose of naked short selling to manipulate the market price for the security should be a felony. Not a crime that gets a fine, but a send-you-to-prison FELONY! There is absolutely no reason why this should be allowed to continue. It never should have been allowed in the first place. How can a market be free and fair when large traders
