Nothing has ever been fixed by a slap on the wrist. Nothing will change. All of these comments will amount to nothing. The media is manipulated. The market maker and hedge fund are one in the same. The payment of order flow is anything but fair. Brokerages like Robinhood are in the pockets of citadel quite literally. $10,000 was stolen from me because I chose to take a stand against corruption.
Hello,
My name is Christopher Francis Lewis Patterson. I am an non-traditional, first generation undergraduate Business Information Systems Major communicating to you in the midst of finals at CSUDH Dominguez Hills in Carson, California. There’s a lot of other details about me that you may find interesting relating to my upcoming dialogue, but that’s not what this comment is about.
I would like
The revelations of opacity around short selling, trade settlement, and unlit off-exchange trading is deeply troubling and an abomination to the ideals of free and transparent capital markets. The delay and self reporting of short interest, coupled with lack of meaningful deterrents like imprisonment or material fines (fining Robinhood $70 million for their role in the January Gamestop shenanigans
I've been trading and investing for nearly ten years. This is not the first time I've seen proposed restrictions to leverage ETF trading. I'm disappointed to see this coming up again. The last time it appeared was around the same time the crypto market was starting. Given the size, mess, and potential for fraud and chaos that crypto is presenting I find it infuriating
What I have witnessed over the past year or so that is going on with stock $GME and $AMC is on a whole different scale. I was new to trading until I got involved signing up with RobinHood earlier in 2020. During that time I wanted to buy in to $GME and was blocked from doing so "for my own protection." essentially missing out on hundreds of dollars or more. I have seen unknown entities
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed changes to "Complex Products" like L&I Funds, etc. Apparently once again the government thinks that all Americans are idiots. Concern that investors may be "confused" by "complex products" - I find this attitude highly offensive. I would very much prefer that you leave
Thank you for your time. I have a few questions. The dark pools were intended for a major seller of own investment to unload a large block of shares without forcing price up or down. It is now a daily assurance that 60-70% trades are in a dark pool vs open market NYSE for small share count trades? Prominently AMC and GME. Most of the rest of the market is 6-9% dark pool. Not going to fix shorts
I can’t express how glad I am to know someone is still looking out for the small-account trader…Many others have already stated the most obvious reasons to do away with the financial industry’s antiquated “[Fin.] Crow” laws, b/k/a “Pattern Day Trader (PDT) rules” – discriminatory pay-to-play minimums, forcing traders to take debilitating losses rather than be branded ‘PDT’/closing-orders-only,
Hello, As a full-time investment portfolio manager for the last 15 years, I feel like this entire filing is yet another moot point. No matter which valid point I bring up, the Commission will only find it invalid, however, here goes nothing: I respectfully advise the Commission to re-think the overall goal in respect to their job function. You're asking for comment on something very little
1. The most neglected field in investor education is equity market manipulation. New retail investors should be informed about perpetual option fail-to-delivers, married-puts, shorting via exchange-traded-funds, off-exchange trading and selling synthetic shares to manipulate a stock's price. 2. From a retail investor's perspective: An open forum where individual users can share investor
