I like what you are talking about here daily transparency on fails to deliver, synthetic short positions, married naked options contracts. Transparency on where the borrowed shares are coming from, verification of shares only being borrowed one time by firms that are borrowing out shares, verification that shares being borrowed are coming from proper sources not being borrowed from clients with
To whom it may concern, As a retail investor and American citizen with rights, I synthesize with all other retail investors and institutions who want nothing other than a fair and equal stock market. A stock market that is free and clear of any and all manipulation. We have been the "small guy" for so long without a fair shot in being able to generate wealth, growth, and practice for
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
Good evening, I write to explain my frustration with the current market, some market makers as well as bad players. The United States stock market is currently very manipulated and it is becoming so obvious that I feel it is endangering the US stock market. Short selling has become a big problem for a few players out there. I believe they have made a lot of money and when caught the fines have
There needs to be a far stronger watch on naked short selling that is clearly a major issue in the current market. Investors should have full transparency to what's going on within the markets they invest their money in. The entire world has their eyes on the US Financial system at the moment. The result of the lack of oversight and control has put extreme distrust in the American financial
I entered the market as a retail investor. I had an understanding of business fundamentals and decided to test my knowledge hoping to create some wealth for my family. After a year of buying and selling stocks, I realize I can never time this right. I wanted to understand why I am always on the losing end. Now, after reading what goes on in the so called dark pools, I realize I cannot trust the
As a newer investor, I am appalled at the lack of transparency in the market. The information I have discovered involving dark pools, naked shorting of shares, and hiding FTD's within options is the most blatant forms of manipulation in any field that I have been a part of. How this has been allowed for all these years with only a slap-on-the-wrist penalty is disgraceful. The sad part is
I am a novice retail investor and learning more each day. Here are a few remarks: 1. If naked or synthetic short is illegal, why allow it to happen? A company that issued 30 million shares should not be trading 100 million shares. 2. Rule breakers should pay fine to security agencies (SEC, FINRA, NTCC, etc.), compensate clients, and be restricted from trading certain stocks for a period of time.
Hello, I find it not only unfair but downright illegal for ANYONE or any FIRM to be able to manufacture shares of stock that they do not own. Often referred to as synthetic shares they seem to be used to manipulate stock prices either up or down at their pleasure and steal hard earned money form the honest shareholders of any given company. How can the honest person decide if an investment in a
Naked shorts should not exist at all. Citadel and other hedgefunds are creating shares, trading them in dark pools back and forth with each other, and in some cases they dump them back into the market to artificially suppress stock prices. They make millions selling off shares while trying to ruin companies. Why is this even allowed. As a regular person, I can’t make up items and sell them on
