As I see it, the current US market is full of nothing but fraud and blatant manipulation, with regulatory agencies doing nothing to police it to the point of them being complicit in these actions as well. They are complicit through their complacency, with years of unchecked fraud and market manipulation in several ways. Naked short selling by large hedge funds like Citadel, point72 and Melvin
There needs to be regulations like the ones listed on synthetics and naked shorts since naked were deemed illegal. these Hedge funds are making hand over fist controlling the markets and crashing us to make even more money. They need rules and regulations just like anyone else does. This currently is not a fair and free market its a dictated market by huge hedge funds that have no regulations.
Market makers and brokers who hold short positions should be completely transparent about those positions for the public good. Individial short interest in a given security should absolutely be reported up and made available for public consumption in aggregate. The lack of transparency and potential for naked short sellers to completely destroy an otherwise healthy company. If any company can be
As an international investor, I would like to see the following changes: 1. All short reporting (naked or otherwise) should be reported on a daily basis. 2. If a particular entity shorts a stock more than 5% it should be reported just like long positions. 2. Shorting a stock above 30-40% should not be allowed due to share dilution it causes.
We need more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in those public reports. Naked shorting is illegal!!!
I fully support all increases in what must be reported with regards to short positions, and the frequency in reporting. If regulators are truly worried about the gamification of the market then close the loopholes and increase transparency particularly around ‘naked’ shorts. Shorts are just tools but dangerous tools that are currently far too easy to abuse with malice intent.
I'd like to see the ability to hide naked shorts in options taken away, as well as meaningful penalties for breaking rules (fines as a percentage of valuation, turnover of profits made in such a way, etc.). It would also be nice if the dark pools weren't watched over by people with gross conflict of interest. Finally, some actual oversight of shorting would be good (no more self
Hello, I believe that this is a really important rule as we all know what can happen when shorts go unchecked. I understand the reason for shorting but when people get carried away, they can harm another company as a whole. I don't see how there could be any trouble making the info transparent to be able to keep a book on how many shorts are out on the market to avoid any issues of naked
I applaud FINRA’s proposed rule changes and support any rule that makes short interest visible to all investors. Free and fast information leads to better price discovery for all. Buried and outdated short interest reports serve only those who have short positions they wish to remain hidden and those who abuse FTD and naked shorting loopholes to manipulate prices. These actions hurt all investors
Please do something about the illegal marking shorts as longs, prime brokers conspiring with hedgefunds, dark pool abuse, naked shorting, and tranperancy. Stop allowing hedgefunds to abuse shorts and only get a small fine if caught. Serious penalty or jail time for illegality should b considered if u wish fo uphold rule of law
