Since so many naked shorts are linked with FTDs, why don't you enforce the current rules regarding FTDs? Hedgefunds and Market Makers are currently "kicking the can" down the road and hiding Naked Shorts. I have seen estimations of FTDs that total into the $TRILLIONS of dollars and FINRA & the SEC are going to be complicit in the coming recession/depression caused by
I am losing faith in the Regulations governing the Securities Market! As a retail investor I believe that the provably widespread practice of naked shorting dilutes the share pool of companies that I believe in which artificially lowers stock prices. It is a method that predatory short hedge funds use to drive stock prices down, rather than allowing the market to engage in true price discovery.
Strong enforcement of illegal naked shorting. Penalties should be more than a slap on the wrist, or nothing at all. It's illegal, don't allow it. Any company caught naked short selling should be prohibited from trading on exchanges. Start out with a 1-week ban on all trading for that company for a first offense, and increase the time for each offense thereafter with a final penalty of
Thanks to the meme stocks community. I have learned so much about the stock market. The Senate Financial Committee investigation into naked short selling found that hedge funds, brokers, and banks were creating 1 billion phantom shares everyday. They recommended an easy method to track all shorted shares. Yet, nothing happened after 13 years, and hedge funds continue to get a slap on the wrist
The current system is completely rigged against the small retail investor. Short sellers trade synthetic shares and naked shorts back and forth to one another- which creates downward pricing pressure on a stock.

Hi, Market manipulation from abuse of dark pools and naked short selling (AKA creating counterfeit shares) is destroying the integrity of the stock market. Why are these things continuing to be allowed after decades? Transparency and accuracy need to be enforced instead of small slaps on the wrist for violations. We cannot trust the listed price of a stock if we don't know if there are
Zero transparency. Inaccurately reporting from short. Naked shorts and complacent rule makers. Unfair dark pool usage. Abusive shorting and dark pool manipulation. Naked calls and married puts. HIDING FTDs in ITM options. Labelling shorts as long. Distraction plays and spoofing/layering by ALL hedgefunds, money makers. Algorthmic and high frequency trading. The short interest is self reported and
Shorting a company is fine, but malicious shorting and the use of naked shorting along with dark pool abuse is far from fine. The fact that hedge funds can do this is disgusting and a slap in the face of the retail investor. They need to be openly called out and exposed, and the use of naked shorting and dark pool abuse done away with.
"Hello and good evening. I'd like to start by thanking you for being open to comments from retail traders. I am a retail trader from germany. I am not the most financially literate person in the room, as my experience investing has been limited to this year, but in that time I have made great strides in learning how our financial system functions. I parsed Regulatory Notice 21-19 myself
