Hi, Market manipulation from abuse of dark pools and naked short selling (AKA creating counterfeit shares) is destroying the integrity of the stock market. Why are these things continuing to be allowed after decades? Transparency and accuracy need to be enforced instead of small slaps on the wrist for violations. We cannot trust the listed price of a stock if we don't know if there are
Strong enforcement of illegal naked shorting. Penalties should be more than a slap on the wrist, or nothing at all. It's illegal, don't allow it. Any company caught naked short selling should be prohibited from trading on exchanges. Start out with a 1-week ban on all trading for that company for a first offense, and increase the time for each offense thereafter with a final penalty of
The OTC Reporting Facility (ORF) is the service provided by FINRA for the reporting of trades in OTC Equity Securities executed other than on or through an exchange and for trades in Restricted Equity Securities effected under Securities Act Rule 144A and dissemination of last sale reports.For those OTC Equity Securities and Restricted Equity Securities that are not eligible for clearance and
Shorting a company is fine, but malicious shorting and the use of naked shorting along with dark pool abuse is far from fine. The fact that hedge funds can do this is disgusting and a slap in the face of the retail investor. They need to be openly called out and exposed, and the use of naked shorting and dark pool abuse done away with.
I am losing faith in the Regulations governing the Securities Market! As a retail investor I believe that the provably widespread practice of naked shorting dilutes the share pool of companies that I believe in which artificially lowers stock prices. It is a method that predatory short hedge funds use to drive stock prices down, rather than allowing the market to engage in true price discovery.
This is great and all along with all the new regulations by the SEC, DTCC, FINRA, etc. However, these regulations are toothless in nature and are either not enforced by regulators who look the other way or they impose a very minimal fine that does not affect the institutions violating the law. There are a set of rules for the retail investor then there is a set of rules for market makers and
The current system is completely rigged against the small retail investor. Short sellers trade synthetic shares and naked shorts back and forth to one another- which creates downward pricing pressure on a stock. How does my 1 share compete against a Short Sellers 1 share that converts into 1000 synthetic shares? How is it possible 3X, 4X, 5X etc the entire float can be traded- with the large
Zero transparency. Inaccurately reporting from short. Naked shorts and complacent rule makers. Unfair dark pool usage. Abusive shorting and dark pool manipulation. Naked calls and married puts. HIDING FTDs in ITM options. Labelling shorts as long. Distraction plays and spoofing/layering by ALL hedgefunds, money makers. Algorthmic and high frequency trading. The short interest is self reported and
We are at a cross roads as an economy, thus as a country. Hedge funds and other similar large corporate entities have an unfair advantage in the market, and has acted to the detriment of the health of our economy as a whole. Loose rules related to the reporting of short interest and FTDs(fail to deliver) has created an environment that allows hedge funds and the like to take advantage of retail
Thanks to the meme stocks community. I have learned so much about the stock market. The Senate Financial Committee investigation into naked short selling found that hedge funds, brokers, and banks were creating 1 billion phantom shares everyday. They recommended an easy method to track all shorted shares. Yet, nothing happened after 13 years, and hedge funds continue to get a slap on the wrist
