More frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports.
While these increased reporting requirements around the currently broadly obvious abused short selling practices in the stock market (including naked shorting, mis-reporting longs as shorts, re-hypothecated shares, married puts/calls, and fails to deliver) are a step in the right direction, the proposed changes do not go far enough to provide transparency and fairness to the public. Please
Everything should be tracked and automated. "Business as usual" fines should be turned into jail sentences. These guys steal millions and pay thousands! No More Self Reporting!
Please implement these rules and reporting requirements. This will add clarity and transparency to the markets
The federal government MUST consistently monitor the inherent market manipulation executed by certain hedge funds who have short positions in various stocks - mainly AMC and GME. The immense amount of naked short selling, buy orders being re-routed to the dark pool to prevent the stock from moving upward, as well as countless other violations need to be addressed as soon as possible. AMC and GME
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.
I’m sure you will get many comments but it would be nice to see more details on how companies are shorted in a given day as well as something which details what is considered market manipulation and how to report it because many “investors” feel they are getting a raw deal with hedge funds. I believe rules should be in place that a hedge fund cannot pay brokers for trade information especially
The idea that institutions can sell shorts on a stock without actually owning a stock is absolutely unbelievable. Then add to that the ability to not even have to imitably purchase shares is ludicrous. Oh then scare them with putting them on threshold list that never gets enforced. Also a 48 hour delay to report in today’s worlds is totally inappropriate. Why not at the close of everyday shorts
Protect the retail investor, and minimize playing field gap with Wall Street. Money is money. The market should be just as equal.
We need daily report on short positions, and a overall crackdown on naked shorting and dark pools. Fines should be served with jail time, if you fine someone a few million, when they make billions, there is no incentive to stop.
