Shorting is common practice within the securities market and usually helps balance prices of securities relative to the value of the security & the speed at which they've grown. There is nothing wrong with shorting, however there is a huge problem when certain stocks and securities have over 100 percent of outstanding shares shorted. This is mathematically impossible with the only
Something needs to be done with the Naked Shorting companies are doing. Citadel Securities has been manipulating the price action of stocks through dark pool trading, naked shorting, & synthetic shares. The SEC seems to be doing nothing in the retail favor more so doing more for the hedge funds. This past weekend was only good fundamental news for AMC yet they’ve shorted and drove the
2008 Ape so strap in. There isn't enough space to cover everything so let me summarize: For every crime someone, say, making more or less than $200k in the market, be it collusion, insider trading, fraud, or what have you, committed and was jailed for, is evenly handed UP to those making more than $1mil to $2 BILLION more or less in the market. (That can be made easier by) *ban and make
Dear FINRA Staff, It seems to me that Citadel (including some of its subsidiaries) is taking advantage of its status as a market maker and at the same time as a hedge fund with exceptionally high short interest in AMC (and also in Gamestop). Based on the data available through fintel.io, Ortex and other sources, it seems they are manipulating prices in their favor. For me, the assumption is close
On my journey to investing in the stock market and am finding out that groups of Hedge funds have been manipulating stocks for their own and client’s personal gain.

In fact to bankrupt a company in order to make naked shorts disappear (and hence any
Hello, I'm sending this comment on behalf of the current situation of short sales being done within the stock market of AMC. As a new investor being affected by the current situation of the manipulation being held within the stock market, specifically AMC, it has been disheartening to see what's being done to the stock market. I've noticed throughout my time investing, I, along
Thank you for asking for comments. I am a fairly new investor (got more serious in January). I love numbers and reports so you can imagine my frustration with all the different results at the end of each day regarding short interest. Fintel would say one thing and Ortex another, etc. I also follow litigation news as well and had a suspicion confirmed when a firm was accused of marking shorts as
Market makers and Hedge funds have turned the stock market into a casino. The practice of short selling and even worse naked short selling are nothing short of criminal. Allowing these firms to manipulate the price of shares at will, in dark pools, without any threat of consequences is reprehensible. How the SEC continues to allow this practice shines light on their impotence and questions the
To whom it may concern, I feel that things could go better if rules which are passed are enforced. Shorts and naked shorts should be closed and not covered because they(hedge funds with short positions) just use illegal ways for covering. Using the rules to over manipulate a stock (AMC, GME) isn't fair market and harsher punishment should be the consequences. Jail time, fines which start in
Please, as an Investor in the US markets I never understod how much manipulation there is. I invest my money and get robed by the unorthodox ways of manipulating the markets by the big market makers and hedgefunds. They short stocks til infinity Buying and selling thru dark pools and of the books trying to fix the price and leaving retail investors BLEEDING right before the eyes of the SEC and
