Accurate short sale tracking is important, but it’s only as useful as the information given on dark pool activities. Dark pool existence, and how those exchanges are able to integrate shares into major exchanges is beyond fraudulent.

Dear NASD Member:
Last year I sent a letter to members that highlighted new and existing regulations that were of particular significance to NASD’s examination program. The letter was designed to offer you guidance by identifying areas of potential examination focus, allowing you to enhance related supervisory and compliance procedures and systems at your firm.
