As a RIA for over 20 yrs I have seen my fair share of shorting and have done it with some equities in special cases for aggressive clients. I am a small independent RIA that uses a combination of ETFs and individual stocks in the management of my clients funds. I can tell you flat out that the system of clearing and reporting short sales is completely broken. This is especially true with small,
Hello, my name is Justin Darrow. I'm pleased to see you're requesting feedback on how to make the stock market more fair, something the SEC doesn't seem to do.

Atleast after market close but buy orders,
i as a retail investor believe that institutions have for far too long been able to maneuver the market at a whim and arent beholden to the same type of rules as the average investor. in such a world, whales are able to make big (and sometimes) dumb moves and the average investor is handicapped when looking to make informed trades about such moves.
