In regards to notice 21-19, I feel any and all available information regarding short interest and shares affected be open and publicly available information, ideally on a daily basis. We have the means to update this information in a real time way and thus should do so for all shareholders. The stock market has a lot of untrusting investors currently due to the way hedge funds have handled their
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
Hi, I don’t know if this will reach anyone or go anywhere but voices need to be heard so I’m here to put mine in. Truth be told most Americans are realizing the stock market which is supposed to be a fair free market is rigged against us smaller fish. This has led many many many investors to obviously pull out money or join the so called “meme stocks” to put it against the big guys who laugh at
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
"Fines" = "hush money". Put the illegal shorters in jail SOON! Stop building your evidence because it's already been done for you via Overstock.com via gamestop via New Mexico vs. Banks. If the policies are preventing prosecution, put a vote to change them. Not next election, TODAY! This conflict of interest happening with your revolving door has got to stop TODAY! These
Dark pool shouldn't be used to manipulate the share price. There also should be a limit of how much the hedgefunds can put in there. When dark pool is being used illegally. Not the way it was intende, there should be severe fines and punishments. Imagine of everyday people could manipulate and cheat every day .....it would be chaos. They get to do all these tricks to get out of being
