I am a retail investor and have been for close to 12 years now. In my opinion, short sellers should be transparent in their dealings and if I had the ability, I would close dark pool opportunities for institutions since it seems to be a way to manipulate the market data overall. Regulations should be as up to date with data tracking and not be in a delay such as with the Ortix report coming out
(1) Lately I have seen time after time (failure to delivers) FTDS hit outrageous and unprecedented numbers SEC has fined market makers in some instances fractional fines of a percent to continue doing business. If this kind of activity is allowed, can I turn do the same? I would be more than glad to do the same if their's no disciplinary actions against this. (2) Naked shorting is illegal.
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.
As an individual investor I would like a fair market with the same information and resources open to all for investment researchers, from big hedge fund firms to individual investors, me. It is completely unfair Short-sellers can sell naked shorts, or empty shares or whatever you want to call them while, I, not a big [REDACTED] firm, have to pay for each of my shares from my hard earned money.
Dark pools and naked shorting is killing the market. Ftd s are not being take. Seriously. AMC apes will be leaving the market after the squeeze if you don’t do something about the manipulation, cheating and theft. If you don’t we’ll crash the market and never return. You sat by in 2008 but nows your chance to make things right. Fight for us (the lil guy) or we will make the markets pay dearly
I am in favor of these proposed rule changes. Specifically the disclosing of synthetic positions. It is vital that this information be made available to combat predatory trading practices. Practices that artificially destroy businesses and lives. If we cannot eliminate the loophole that allows for synthetic naked shorting, getting as much information made public is the next best thing. Perhaps it
I cannot believe how deep this corruption runs. Honestly, at this point id be hopeful that any number of these committees would do something to level the playong feild here. However judging by lack of action, i have come to one of two conclusions. You're either all corrupt and working together to rob the american public. The people who keep this coubtry running. The people you all considered
Hedge funds, corporations, and other institutions have information and resources far beyond what the retail investor can access. Not only are these entities over leveraged compared to retail, some use their advantages to break laws and/or tilt the market in their favor. Incorrect marking of a position as long when their short. Continuous fail to delivers because of naked shorting. Trading in dark
Hello my comment is really quite simple I’m a new investor trying to break the cycle of poverty in my family with that being said as little as I know i have seen the blatant manipulation and illegal actions by billionaire companies only be handed a fine for breaking the law and completely manipulating a system that should be for everyone not just the 1 percent who has molded the stock market to
