Enforce the margin calls on shorts that are way out of money. If someone has a short at $20 and the stock is at $70, they shouldn't be able to short more before they cover their previous loosing shorting positions. Also prohibit share borrowing from cash accounts, my shares are my own and I don't want to lend them out to shorts... That's like shooting myself in the foot.
WE NEED TRANSPARENCY! All shorts must be documented and reported immediately! Also, this idea that you can short a stock by shorting a ETF is stilly. To get an idea of what needs to change, take a look at Citadel's shorting of AMC. All that needs to stop. We need to know EXACTLY how much has been shorted and the return dates. Stop the fleecing of retail traders asap!
There needs to be more transparency with short selling. Any large institutions or hedge funds should be required to report short interest weekly if not daily. There shouldn't be an incentive for investors to short others to hope for them to go bankrupt. Investors who get premiums for the short shares to be borrowed should be taxed a higher rate for that premium. I can go on and on but
SSR does nothing but give the illusion of short restrictions, most shorting is coming from computers that manipulate the only on an up stick rule . I’ve watched multiple stocks get manipulated and shorted while on SSR . SSR is considered a joke by most small traders . It doesn’t work 90 % of the time if at all. Shorts still short all day everyday , even during SSR .
FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. I understand FINRA is attempting to create a fairer and transparent market but without strict reporting policies in place you
Shorting stocks is critical for markets to operate with maximum liquidity. Leverage that is speculation that fuels shorting stocks. Many investors dont have available funds in their trading accounts to short stocks directly. Leveraged shorting allows better gains than otherwise. Please keep inverse leveraged funds available for trading
Short Sale Rule should be changed to state that if a stock is shorted ten percent from the previous day's close,, NO shorting is allowed from that moment until the end of the next trading day. It is rediculous to allow shorting at all beyond that ten percent mark as it solely benefits the wealthy institutions who can afford to continue to drive a price down when retail investors are buying
Dear FINRA: Firstly, I would like to thank you for giving the investor community an opportunity to be heard. For countless years, the investor community is deeply frustrated over the continuous manipulation of our financial system. I would like to address the following deep rooted issues regarding short selling within our financial system, and suggest possible solutions to mitigate risk in the
1)Retails investors buy orders should not be going to dark pools if we cannot trade there. 2) 100% Accurate reports on short interest. 3) Have proof that FTD’s were actually bought. 5)Have frequent checks on shares outstanding and if number is over the shares outstanding have short sellers or any participant who responsible for the FTD/Naked shorts has to purchase shares immediately. 4)Hedge
The sale of a call option and purchase of a put option with the same expiration date and strike price provides equivalent exposure to the price of a stock as a short sale. Despite this equivalence, this synthetic position does not currently create a short position that would be reportable under the current version of Rule 4560. The extent of use of this and other types of synthetic short
