There is so much public data showing short positions that exceed the outstanding shares of multiple companies. Short positions should be reported at least weekly. This includes borrowed shares that are sold short, and put options. Firms that fail to deliver should be fined much more than they currently are. If there are 1,000,000 outstanding shares, but call 20,000 open options for a ticker, there is clearly too many “synthetic” shares on the market, because if all those were exercised, there would be more shares on the market than were offered by the original company. Fines need to go up. Wall Street continues to cheat the average American, and the American economy as a whole. Start punishing them so they stop rigging the market and messing it up like they have done countless times.
