Hello i would just like to comment on how unfair it is to individual investors that market makers and hedge funds can route trades through the dark pools as they see fit with no oversight. I would suggest that you eliminate dark pools and make the fines greater than the profit hedge made from the illegal the illegal trading activity. Jail time is needed for market manipulation and short positions
I use inverse etfs to hedge my portfolio. Similar to long only etfs, it allows short position across a broader spectrum than a single stock short position. In my circumstance, understanding and managing the risks of utilizing an inverse etf are a much better way to manage downside risk than the complexity of shorting individual stocks.
I support this effort to improve the accuracy, requirements, and meaning behind the short interest metric. A more expansive reporting requirement that captures synthetic short positions would allow FINRA to be better able to understand market participants’ short sale-related activity. As synthetic short positions provide equivalent exposure, information on them may also provide investors and
The confidence in the US market is waning and will collapse in time. For too long FINRA's out-dated short interest reporting policy has allowed malicious activities to continue with little to no oversight in the form of abusive and extraordinary over-leveraging of short positions. Many of the policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the short interest ineffective reporting, yet
Short interest reporting should be instantaneous. Not sure why the reporting on SI and other short positions data is so delayed and unreliable but for the market to be fair, both sides of positions need to see all data equally for manipulation to be in check. If changes to short data being made available publicly and in reasonable times then I fear the market will never be fair and retail
I think shorting leveraged ETFs should be disallowed. Perhaps that'd go a way in reducing systematic market risk from these financial instruments? There are plenty leveraged ETFs designed just for shorting an index and it makes no sense to me that one might prefer shorting the ETF itself. It more easily con-volutes one's thinking than just buying the bearish ETF.
First I want to say that the money I use to invest or trade the market is mine and I should be able to use it as I see fit. I often use inverse funds to hedge or take advantage of short term pull backs in the market. It seems to me to be a lot easier to buy an inverse fund than to acquire shares to short or use an options strategy. I also often use long leveraged funds to take advantage of the
FINRA 21-19 is a direly needed change. The US market is in dire straights due to FINRA's inability to adequately police short interest. There are still gaps, however. It is ESSENTIAL for the restoration of both the stability of the US markets and the confidence of the investors within it that ANY and ALL regulation changes regarding short interest reporting be effective in EVERY known
SummaryDay trading broadly refers to an overall trading strategy where a customer effects both buy and sell transactions in the same security in the same day to profit from movements in the price of the security. FINRA has had longstanding rules designed to limit the potential losses from day trading for both customers and members, and to ensure the risks of day trading are disclosed to customers
Report short positions for a company they need to be enforced. Company's are super overleveraged and they are hiding these transactions and masking their short positions/Naked shorts to manipulate the stock market. Retail traders are the backing of these companies Like AMC and GME yet these institutions can do whatever they want behind closed doors.
