information needs to be accurately and timely reported-- period. That information is lagging is a joke-- that people charge to provide this lagging information is shameful. There should be no platform one has over another. That there is-- is evidence money buys influence -- this is a country of laws.. unless it is in the financial world.

Let me begin by stating I believe the apparent inability to administer existent provisions regarding shorting and naked shorting demonstrates a gaping hole in the system. FINRA and all related regulatory bodies have ignored the scams played by the hedge funds in hiding their activities as well as permitting a hedge fund to be the major market maker in a security they intend to pummel and drive

Fines are also the biggest joke. Citadel has been fined
