I believe increasing the frequency of reporting would be extremely beneficial, transparency is one of the things that needs to be improved in many aspects in regards to the stock market as a whole. As of right now it is very difficult to find any accurate information on a variety of topics such as mergers, algorithms, the relationships between brokerages and hedge funds etc. short interest and
FINRA,
I strongly appose proposed restrictions on inverse and leveraged Exchange Traded Funds. I have used both of these to very effectively hedge long fixed income and equity positions over short exposure periods. Removing access to these funds will force me into the listed options market to construct similar hedges that more complicated, expensive, entail more basis risk and require more
Dear FINRA- I am opposed to any regulation which doesn't allow me access to the same investment vehicles as the powerful, rich and well-healed of this planet. It comes to my attention that your organization is considering regulations which may prohibit or restrict me from investing with ProShares ETFs like the UltrraPro short fund. I have been investing my own money and receiving
I do not want to sound uneducated or stupid, but I think that there a lot of shady dealings going on in the stock market and I'm afraid that this will effect my portfolio. Please make all short positions be reported. Do we need dark pools? yes! but I wanna see that information too. We all want a free and fair market. I'm not here to be a financial patsy, for crying out loud gas is like
re: Comment on Short Interest Position Reporting Enhancements and Other Changes Related to Short Sale Reporting To whom it may concern, the current structure and function of the American Equities Markets has, over a period of many years (& now on display for the whole world to see in the unfolding of the Meme Stock Scandal), been utilized to swindle trillions of dollars from The American
Dark Pools need to be gone, if the market is fear and fair. Where is the transparency? Short Sale Restrictions must be enforced, currently it’s a joke. Failure To Deliver must be fully enforced. If I sell something I don’t deliver the items but I keep the money, that’s stealing! Currently your rules are joke. No retail investor benefits from your rules if they are no fully enforced. If I drink
Much more transparency is needed in regards to the number of current short sale positions including percentage that have been closed on a daily basis. For far too long retail investors have been dealt a bad hand going against hedge funds who have access to all the detail we do not. Please make the markets what they are supposed to be which is free and fair. Please enforce and intensify the rules
I think all reporting of shares shorts etc should be reported on a daily bases to all with alot more emphasis on stoping manipulation, including making dark pools ilegal and getting rid of them, also making fines more appropriate to the crime instead of pocket money fines, I ve been involved in the US stock market for a year now and all I ve seen is market manipulation which should be against the
I think it’s important to ALL investors that all short shares/failure to deliver shares/ dark pool shares be reported on a honest and legal standing. It’s been pretty clear that this is not happening. The entire stock market needs to be monitored for each settled business day. Please lock out the corruption and deceit from hedge fund companies. They are and solely destroying companies on a daily
Hello, I will keep my comment brief. I am a $XXX,XXX.XX retail investor that humbly supports any and proposed measures to improve transparency and data accuracy for retail investors. While the term “free market” is a farce, I do believe we should have a fair market which currently we do not.
