I am writing as a humble retail investor. Recent events and research have demonstrated that the entire securities market is built around big players taking money directly from retail investors and legitimate corporations who have zero recourse. The current system for reporting short sales is laughably ineffective. It is completely obscured from retail traders, intentionally preventing free trade
Stop the price manipulation on AMC and GME. Put an end to naked shorting with more required reporting regulations, and increased oversight. Hedge funds and Brokers need steeper fines and tighter restrictions that will actually make them stop doing illegal activity, instead of being slapped on the wrist and still making millions. Shut it down. Transparency is key and the retail investors feel like
Please investigate the dark pools it seems they’re not being utilized for the reasons they were initially put into place. Instead it appears to be a tool to manipulate volume and share price. FTDs need to be enforced without loopholes to wiggle through. Naked shorting has to be investigated! SSRs need to be also be strictly enforced. All in all, investors want trading to be a fair process for all
Please allow the market to be transparent for everyone. The American people are investing their hard earned money under the assumption the rules are fair. AMC stock is being manipulated behind the scenes weekly. Look into AMC naked shorting. Every transaction should be visible to the public. In my opinion if companies are found to be breaking the rules there needs to be more than fines. As in
Quit letting them cheat the market, stop allowing naked shorting and then pretending you have no idea that it’s happening. The world is watching... stop giving the advantage to the Hedgefunds, you guys are running this shit like the gaming authority and you oversee the casinos. We pay you. The market is Trash. #AMC-We’re Not Leaving. Citadel has farrrr to much influence, stop allowing lobbying.
The current regulations on "complex securities" is adequate. FINRA and SEC doesn't need any further new regulations in complex securities. These complex securities have the same risk and volatility as buying a individual stock. Geared ETF and Inverse are for advance investor and trader. The current agreement with brokers is adequate. I studied geared and crypto trust for hundreds
-Enhanced Failure to Delivery, Failure to Settle, Market Buy Ins, Market Lock Ins and FINRA to Publicly report these in a timely manner in .csv format on their website. The only data currently available is "Failures to Deliver" which is only 1 of several metrics. Retail and others would greatly benefit from the transparency added by simply providing this additional information about
The short interest reports from ETF, Market makers, Pre Brokers, Hedge funds and all other investment institutions should be reported accurately and daily with failure to delivers and synthetic short positions covered in 2 business days. The penalties for FTD and mismarking long and short positions as well as short laddering and devaluing securities through high volume, high frequency dark pool
There isn’t ANY transparency within the market. Dark pools need to be GONE as they are being over used and abused.. SSR needs to be enforced much more strictly. FTDs need to be enforced without delay. And NAKED SHORTING is supposed to be illegal but is still being used only by hedge funds and market makers.. How is this a free market???!! The hedge funds leash is way too long. Nobody will trust
I would like to know when a stock has more volume for inflow compared to outflow, how does the share price still keep going down? Additionally, When a stock has a "ladder attack" to it, where is the SEC to step in and stop any manipulation? It is not understandable that a hedge fund company can use naked shorts, which everyone knows exists, yet nothing it done to combat the practice.
