I think retail is extremely desirous of seeing more frequent reporting and as much of that made publicly available as possible. At least of a weekly or bi-weekly basis. I believe the currently attempted short squeeze is bring to light that lack of transparency is being used to commit fraud and establish predatory roles against companies. The conduct of these financial professionals qualifies as
Respectfully, Much of what FINRA is “considering” regarding the reporting of Short Selling, Reporting, disclosures, and transparency is all needed to protect not only retail investors both domestic and abroad, but to ensure there is confidence in the US stock market. A failure to close loopholes from hedge funds and create a fair and equitable platform where investors get “real” pricing, and
In general, there needs to be more real time transparent data. Retail investors are not playing on an equal playing field in a supposed free market. With market manipulation obviously taking place with stocks such as $GME and $AMC, things need to change and companies need to be held more accountable. Measly fines or just looking the other way is just an insult to what our market, economy, and
I am in favor of Notice 21-19 and believe it is imperative that changes be implemented to level the playing field between retail, institutional and large firms concerning available information. Any changes that bring information to retail investors quicker and more accurately, such as short interest and FTD data, cannot come soon enough and is long overdue.
The manipulation is obvious. Protect the people.
Short positions should be reported daily, with proof they are not naked shorts. How long can you continue to let them dump more synthetic shares in the market.
The actual short interest of AMC is not correctly reflected on the websites provided to public. If FINRA wants to investigate in real, then it has to look up dark pool data and short interest in dark pool and only the orders related to sell are routed through exchange and rest buy orders are routed through dark pool. THIS IS NOT FAIR AS NAKED SHORTING WAS BANNED IN 2008 BUT IT IS SAD TO SEE THAT
I have watched the so called "meme" stocks have massive inflow over outflow and still drop like rocks. This is bizarre to me as a retail investor. I might be ignorant about this but I think it warrants investigation. Best, Richard
I wholeheartedly am in support of greater transparency in the markets, especially as related around short sales and the so called 'dark' pools. Please level the playing field and turn the U.S. Stock market back into a place for investing and not a casino built and maintained for the sake of the rich to exploit the people. Thank you.
I like your suggested changes. More expedited transaction transparency from all participants is necessary to level the playing field and mitigate illegal activity.
