With all due respect "reporting" is a small part of the shorting problem. While I support more immediate reporting requirements, the issue is naked shorting, mislabeling of shorts (as longs), and other shorting malfeasance being used by market makers (i.e. Citadel and Virtu) to manipulate market prices and destroy market integrity. Fines are also the biggest joke. Citadel has been fined
The fact that we have to comment to get you to do your job speaks volumes. The whole world sees how corrupt the US stock market is. All trust has been lost. It was extremely easy to see the fraud and corruption happening, yet the media and politicians acted like they had no idea what what was going on. Boomers don't understand how the internet works. The attacks and lies were pathetic and
As a retail investor I cannot say I'm happy with the whole financial system with stock market. Everything we buy and sell is reported instantly. Our positions are transparent to any market maker or institution. All we ask for is full transparency on all transactions that occur in that trading day. In today's age we should be able to track and barcode every share that is available in a
Over the past few months, it has become clear that there is a lot of vital market data that is not accessible to the average retail trader. It is not a free and fair market when dark pool trading makes up the majority of trades. The dark pool in essence is a legal black market for trading and it is very exclusive. New and old retail traders have realized the market manipulation that is occurring
I am new to retail investing/trading but what I’ve witness with GME and AMC really opened my eyes to how corrupt and fixed the markets are. The mainstream media I used previously to help make decisions, has been 100% controlled to influence retail investors in a pure evil way. This is about as easy as it gets to see the manipulation. This manipulation is throughout the entire process with naked
Finra, The short selling on the market has become a joke to many of us. We see so much manipulation with simple indictators like the Inflow beating the Outflow by i.e. '100' yet we manage to drop $5? So, it would be nice to see (for a start) if this is shorting pressure, or if this is manipulation. It would give us chance to evaluate why the stock is dropping yet its only being bought
What I have witnessed over the past year or so that is going on with stock $GME and $AMC is on a whole different scale. I was new to trading until I got involved signing up with RobinHood earlier in 2020. During that time I wanted to buy in to $GME and was blocked from doing so "for my own protection." essentially missing out on hundreds of dollars or more. I have seen unknown entities
As a retail shareholder and investor (equities and options) in multiple companies such as Tesla, Gamestop, AMC, along with the typical ETFs tracking the broader market I feel that we have not been well served by the current rules and system. The lack of transparency, limited reporting, and massive loopholes like synthetic short positions and loan obligations not being required to be reported in
Simply put, Short Sellers have for decades made the argument that disclosing their position makes them a target for Short Squeeze. However, they in many cases target legitimate companies with the sole purpose of attempting to "shake out" longs to make a profit. This is not the intended use or purpose of allowing short positions, which as I understand it is as a way to address fraudulent
A. Providing short interest information to the public for free is a requirement to ensure the retail public's trust in the market. Without access to this information, the average retail investor is at a huge disadvantage when it comes to making trading decisions. Finra should take charge and publish this information daily, so retail investors can make timely decisions about their trading
