We would love to see short sale institutional/hedge fund data be reported just as the regulations require long positions 13F filings in order to file and finalize a purchase. Currently we have an issue where naked shorts have been created in several stocks across the market, but could be better regulated by requiring such filing so be submitted before large scale institutional short positions are
If the US market looks to be seen as a free market we need to have transparency. Dark pool trading has gone on unregulated to the point of becoming a place where institutional investors can go to hide their elicit trades; this needs to end. All authorized shares should be able to be accounted for at any given time during market hours. Fines and penalties for FTDs and naked shorting of stocks
Stop allowing naked shorting that’s NOT REPORTED and stop allowing a short position to be pushed out further using more options and avoiding fail to delivers ALL WHILE NOT BEING REPORTED. No one should be able able to short a stock over 100% of the float and yet when it happens everyone looks the other way. So why should they stop? Slapping on the wrist with a small multi million dollar fine
AMC has already stated that they have enough liquidity to stay in business until the end of fiscal year 2022 and yet Market Makers, Prime Brokers, Hedge Funds, continue to short the stock on purpose to bankrupt the company and completely disregard the failure to delivers and blatant manipulation with minimal transparency to retail investors and they are getting away with it everyday. Please help
Shorting as a market practice is a crazy concept. No other capitalist market allows borrowing something that one person owns, sell it, buy it back at a lower price to profit off their initial lender. Self reporting clearly isn’t working and the ability to borrow stock is way mis-marked. Everything should be labeled and marked in real time so the corruption can be stopped and we play a fair game
Need better eyes on massive shorted stocks regulations blocking naked shares and a sec representative mandatory at every hedge fund Corporation. From what I'm seeing you guys are either paid off or don't know what the [REDACTED] you're looking for. Billions of dollars being stolen from retail investors for more years than you can count on your fingers and nobody has done squat to
The market should be fair for all. Not just the super rich. Since I started investing 2 years ago, I have lost all confidence in the American stock exchange and once the amc story plays out, I will likely not continue. All the data points to illegal activity, yet it continues and has done for years. I never realized of corrupt the American system is, until of late. Many people should be in jail
I never realized that the "Stock Market" is controlled by the players themselves. Of course they will thwart and break the rules when the penalties and fines are SO miniscule contrasted with the profit they make by breaking 'the rules'. The Average Jane like me has no chance of advancing or even holding our ground against the machine that the US Gov't allows to run
Transparency and fairness for all investors is all anyone wants. What has been happening over the last 6 months in certain stocks is unbelievable. Hedge funds need/must be held responsible for their actions when it come to FTD's naked shorting, etc. just the same as retail traders must follow the rules set forth by the governing body. Please this is huge for the US trading markets and will
SSR is a solid rule especially for organic trading between bulls and bears. More often than not, when the SSR is triggered, it’s caused by a malicious entity aggressively shorting the stock. Obviously the annoying thing is that SSR doesn’t stop the shorting, it almost doesn’t affect its momentum. Big trading firms will use an aggressive short ladder attack to bypass SSR… Nothing is necessarily
