Short sales in general used to manipulate stock price is price manipulation of a stock and should be 100% illegal. With that being said if it is to continue it needs to be live time and 100% trackable. What I am watching happen with short selling, naked short selling and dark pool trading is beyond criminal and needs to be addressed asap. The world is watching.
You should consider closing any kind of loopholes, also making anybody who is involved a short selling reporter position on a daily basis, and releasing that information to the public immediately. Failure to deliver, should be penalized on a daily basis, and information should be public on a daily basis. Increase penalties for violation of any short and naked shorting violation.
As part of FINRA’s program to monitor firms for compliance with the SEC’s Regulation M, FINRA’s Market Regulation department reviews over-the-counter (OTC) trading and quoting activity for prohibited purchases, bids or attempts to induce bids or purchases during the applicable restricted period, and for prohibited short sales during the five-day period prior to pricing the offering.
It will never be a fair playing field if shorts are not disclosed and we will look like frauds to the entire world. Naked short sellers deserve prison.
I would like to see full transparency in regard to short selling, including naked short and dark pools. Full accountability for failure to deliver (FTD)
The use of dark pools as a tool for price suppression is overwhelmingly clear. Market manipulation is actively taking place and the free reign of large organizations to process transactions off-exchange is essentially cheating the system. Additionally, there is basically no real, enforceable regulation on the shorting of stocks. Through aggressive shorting, powerful entities can drive many
I would like to see accurate and up to date info on shorts, Possible naked shorts and failures to deliver. And also ways of enforcing fair market practices.
All reports should be consolidated for all markets in one location where it is easily accessible to all investors. FTDs should be reported daily and should be required to be cleared within a a T3 timeline without exception. Short positions and changes to those positions should be reported daily and that information should be made available to all investors no later than the next business day
Report short interest and all relevant information DAILY. End loopholes allowing short interest to be artificially hidden with “married calls/puts.” Do something about the relentless and abusive practice of naked shorting. Everyone sees it but the general public cannot do anything about it. Are shares of everything we own are getting significantly and artificially devalued through this rampant
With how poorly the entire market is run, anything that enhances the ability for retail investors to have more transparency is a must. With how easily everything can be manipulated, data being skewed and hidden, naked shorts, FTD's, etc - the entire system needs an overhaul. But at the minimum, 21-19 needs to be passed to allow better transparency involving the reporting of short interest
