Do your job! The daily market manipulation is right in front of your eyes. Naked shorting, FTD's, bs news articles paid for by HF's. We don't need to explain it to you. You are asking, because you already know the problem and just want to pretend you are trying to fix it. You are allowing fraudulent activity within and around the market to happen, and you just turn and face the
Dear Finra, My name is Kevin, as a retail investor the only thing I personally request in behalf of all retail traders is a fair market. Meaning no manipulation of stocks, naked short selling of stocks that are not even of existence. I have come to realize that none of these illegal practices are being taken in to consideration as far as correction. Hedge funds have been doing this for years and
In the interest of transparency and fairness to the market. I believe it is important to have regular and accurate information keeping and disclosure to encourage retail market participants into the market. Professional firms already have fast, accurate and bespoke trading software and information systems that provide them with a massive advantage in accurately determining price inefficiencies
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
Failure to Deliver should not exist. The basic rules of supply and demand are betrayed by this concept. If a Christie’s auction failed to deliver the auctioned item, but sent a replica that is treated and “valued” just as with the original, both of their prices are then diluted. Nefarious intent lies behind the semi-rational “because we need liquidity” argument for naked shorting and strategic
We want the all the illegal naked shorting to stop, we want the SEC to force the hedgies to cover all their shares in AMC! We want equality in the stock market! We want our voice’s to be heard and for hedgies and corrupt professional who are involved in illegal activities on the stock market to be imprisoned for those actions! If the retail individuals did what hedgies did retail investors would
It is incredibly important to have a financial system be transparent, secure, and fair. I believe that this proposal aids in the effort to produce a more transparent go coal system. Many new investors will be put off from investing in the stock market without these transparency rules. Many people, myself included, see the current system as unbalanced and rife with the exploitation of retail
There is no good reason that investors of any kind should be segregated and barred from any type of public investment vehicles, especially not on account of available funds. This rule banning certain investors from inverse and leveraged investment vehicles would limit individual investment strategies and only benefit large institutions. It is fundamentally unfair and disrespectful to the
All FTD's should be reported daily and all self regulation should stop. All FTD's should be defined in a T1 and settled in a T2. All short positions should be identified publicly. All naked shorts should be excluded and settled with FTD settlements. All fines for violations should be on a per share basis. No more speeding tickets where the fine is cheaper than the position. Let the
To whom it may concern, As a new retail investor, I want to see more transparency in our markets. I've learned that big financial institutions are abusing their privileges given to them; most notably their use of dark pools and naked short selling. An effective way to earn back the trust of retail investors is to put these often illegal practices on the forefront so we can find out what is
