Member firms should be aware of an alleged large-scale data breach possibly affecting Oracle Cloud services at firms and third-party providers. FINRA recommends that firms review this information to assess any potential impact to their operations, as well as with third-party providers who provide services to the firm. FINRA previously delivered an email to firms whose domain names appeared in the threat actor post, as well as any firms that previously informed FINRA of their use of Oracle products and services.
Short interest should have 100% reporting daily. T+2 gives an unfair advantage to hedge funds. There also needs to be transparency with synthetic shorts. They do exist and its also an unfair practice. Fines should exceed the amount of fraud or manipulation. Small slaps on the wrist do absolutely nothing. A 10 million dollar fine on manipulation that made a financial institution 80 million dollars
I am very strongly in support of strict regulations that require the reporting of synthetic short positions. Daily reports of such positions and all other short positions should be required. Fail to delivers in particular need much more regulation. In my opinion FINRA should place regulating FTDs as priority one. More frequent reporting, and shorter time to release FTDs to the public, as
We need more transparency within the market. We need to see daily reports on a specific institution's short position regarding the amount of shares they have on loan, the amount of time those shares have been borrowed, the amount gained/loss due to a short position, and the amount of IOUs/tangible shares that are being traded. This is also including trades done within the dark pool, not just
To Whom it May Concern, Thank you for requesting comments on this matter. I believe short interest and short sale reporting plays a major part of our current financial structure. Such a major role, that it is surprising how lax the overall rules are governing this aspect. I'm as smooth brain as they come, but I truly believe in clear and open transparency to the public is a way to help
I believe in transparency. Major players in this market push and pull the price of a security to profit with derivatives or push and pull with derivatives to profit of a held security. In spite of the intentional charade to act oblivious and pretend it all was just simply speculation, larger players use brute force means as an investment strategy with arguably plausible deniability. I believe the
Please do not restrict my ability to use leverage/inverse stocks. These stocks allow me to leverage my positions without incurring debt and without direct involvement in derivatives. They allow me to take short positions without making short sales. They allow me to make trades not possible using mutual funds. They allow me to trade NDX and SPX more efficiently than possible for me using at- and
Please do not been leverage GTS there are great investment for the right people that know what theyre about I believe short selling should be banned in and option should be banned because people that go against leverage dont realize theyre going to get margin called and then they called a broker complaining meanwhile they said they knew what they were talking about and I think it should be maybe
I have managed my portfolio myself and have outperformed the market for 2022 I have done this in no small part to the downside protection offered by inverse ETFs. They allow the average investor to take short action in the market without the necessary headache of a margin account. Attempts to restrict this are misguided and will only hurt the smaller investors they intend to help. Inverse ETFs
I work in the finance industry and we already endure severe restrictions in terms of how we can hedge downside risk. These include restrictions against short selling and options (have to hold a positions at least 30 days while the option loses value due to time decay).
