It is critical 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 circumstance where effective short positions, synthetic or not, can go unaccounted for for any length of time greater than any other short position reporting deadline.
There needs to be transparency in the market. Daily reporting of shorts. FTD’s need to be taken care of immediately. If you can short billions of dollars daily, you should be able to cover those shorts daily. Also there needs to be serious and real consequences like jail time, not a fine for these things. Oh and darkpools shouldn’t be legal
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in the investments that i choose. I, not regulators, should decide what investment strategy is good for me. If you regulate leveraged and inverse funds, what investments will you regulate in the future? This is a slippery slope. Inverse funds are great for a hedge. And what is the issue, shorting has been allowed forever and is much more risky due to
1/ Synthetic short positions should be included in short interest reports. 2/ REGSHO- information of allocations of FTD's should definately be updated. daily report of FTD's should be mandatory.3/Publication of short interest for Exchange listed Equity securities to include both OTC & Exchange should also be implemented. 4/ Rule 4560-Loan obligations regarding short position
I would like to see Short interest not be self reported anymore and for it to be reported from regulators such as Finra or the DTCC. If no such action is possible, I would like to see harder fines for misreporting Short Interest, especially if it is a bigger institution as to smaller investors, the fine does not seem harsh enough to get those to stop misreporting short interest
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to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. While many of the policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective
As all short interest affects market pricing, all transactions between market participants that may be used to mask or hide official short interest numbers should be reported fully and transparently. It is against the idea of a free market to withhold short interest data from all market participants, including retail investors, and to only provide information to professionals.
Regulatory ObligationsRules 203(b) (Short sales) and 204 (Close-out requirement) of Regulation SHO provide exceptions for bona fide market making activity. The SEC has provided guidance on what constitutes “bona fide market making activities” as well as examples of what does not. Firms must also confirm and be able to demonstrate that any transaction for which they rely on a Regulation SHO bona
As a retail investor, I am concerned about the fairness of the current financial system. Having read many theoretical posts on r/Superstonk about the economy and doing my own research, I believe that more regulation on shorting is necessary in order to avoid the unfair devaluation of companies and protect smaller companies from its effects. In particular, more needs to be done about Fail-to-
Hi I believe that short selling of any kind is bad, while showing more data is a positive step. Shorting still has too much scope for bad practice. There’s a conflict of interests as soon as a party shorts a company. Too many of the main players in today’s market have ties in all areas of the market. Allowing them to manipulate and drive theses companies further down to there benefit. I could
