I request that regulation and enforcement be equal for all stock market participants. It is frustrating to know how many advantages, privileges, and self oversight benefits are granted to institutional investors, market makers and clearance houses. The crimes are no longer speculation. There is public information on repeat offenders and habitual lawbreakers taking the stock market hostage to do
Good evening, I write to explain my frustration with the current market, some market makers as well as bad players. The United States stock market is currently very manipulated and it is becoming so obvious that I feel it is endangering the US stock market. Short selling has become a big problem for a few players out there. I believe they have made a lot of money and when caught the fines have
Gamestop and many other stocks have been and continue to be a target to illegal naked short selling that needs to stop, protect the retail investors and companies from crooks and cheats that use illegal practices to stay rich and keep the poor broke as well as drive companies that do good in the world into the ground. Get rid of PFOF, insider trading, politicians having any part of trading, dark
I have traded in this market for DECADES and it has come to my attention since being out of work how much naked shorts, market manipulation and price spoofing and lastly killing any signs of a increased stock like AMC its criminal. Ive alerted my attorney and am very unhappy . Im sure the institutions are doing what they need to protect itself but myself and others have came in the middle of a
I agree with the proposals as listed. I believe this would prevent or reduce the manipulation many believe the market is subject to at present. As such it would promote confidence within retail investors many of whom believe that institutional investors have made the market inherently unfair to them and as such retail may begin to disengage with investing. These proposals I believe would also
Bring back the protections put in place by FDR and worked for 75 years! The uptick rule, the prohibition against naked shorting for EVERYONE, strong enforcement of predatory stock manipulation, etc... The most powerful forces on Wall Street prey on small investors, we the people, and it needs to stop! They are parasites at the expense of jobs and the savings of everyday Americans. Do the right
All FTD's should be reported daily and all self regulation should stop. All FTD's should be defined in a T1 and settled in a T2. All short positions should be identified publicly. All naked shorts should be excluded and settled with FTD settlements. All fines for violations should be on a per share basis. No more speeding tickets where the fine is cheaper than the position. Let the
First, there is no rule that can be put in place where the repurcussions are fines. Fines are a cost of doing business. Period. The street always makes far more money illegally then they pay in fines. 150% minimum fines. Now, that said, self reporting is a joke. We have the systems and technology available to ensure trades are marked correctly, that they are delivered adequately, not
Purposefully creating synthetic shares of a security for the purpose of naked short selling to manipulate the market price for the security should be a felony. Not a crime that gets a fine, but a send-you-to-prison FELONY! There is absolutely no reason why this should be allowed to continue. It never should have been allowed in the first place. How can a market be free and fair when large traders
Dear Finra, My name is Kevin, as a retail investor the only thing I personally request in behalf of all retail traders is a fair market. Meaning no manipulation of stocks, naked short selling of stocks that are not even of existence. I have come to realize that none of these illegal practices are being taken in to consideration as far as correction. Hedge funds have been doing this for years and
