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
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to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy.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
Regarding section D. "Information on Allocations of Fail-to-Deliver Positions" in the sections marked as "Identify of correspondent firm" and "Amount allocated to correspondent firm (number of shares). I believe that what constitutes a "Correspondent firm" and who this refers to exactly need to be more accurately defined in order to avoid misreporting or
As one of the biggest regulating bodies within the overseeing of the stock market, Finra should strive to have a way more transparent, thorough and demanding framework for reporting short positions. You admit in your proposal that the extent of which many of these methods are being implemented in the market - are unknown. As the framework stands today, institutions that profit from short selling
All short positions should be transparent and recorded daily. https://www.sec.gov/rules/petitions/2020/petn4-758.pdf February 12, 2020 Vanessa Countryman Secretary U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, NE Washington, DC 20549-1090 Re: Petition for Rulemaking on Short and Distort Dear Ms. Countryman: Petitioners signed below respectfully submit this petition for rulemaking pursuant

On August 25, 1994, the NASD issued Special Notice to Members 94-68 (Special Notice) dealing with the NASD's recently approved short-sale rule (Rule). In that Special Notice, the NASD set forth a description of the Rule, provided answers to questions concerning the operation of the Rule, and included
I would like to see better enforcement of the short sale rule (SSR). There have been days where the SSR was triggered on AMC but then the next day I’ve seen multiple red candles following red candles and that goes to show that the SSR rule is not in fact being enforced because you can only short on upticks (green candles) and not continue shorting on downticks.
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
Improved reporting for short positions is long overdue. As proven by the research done on "meme stocks" like GME and AMC there are a wide variety of ways for institutions to hide their short positions from others. Some of these include shorting of ETFs, using married puts and other options plays and simply lying with willingness to accept a small fine. The market overall needs more
Regulatory Notice 21-19; I have watched the stock that I am invested in get shorted into the ground, manipulated through short ladder attacks and dark pool trading. If I am to maintain any faith at all in the integrity of the North American stock market system, it can only happen if Citadel Securities is called to report their short position and other requested information per the Regulatory
