Shorts should publicly announce their position and SSR should stop shorting in general. On dark pools as well.
Stop all shorting. Stop ALL insider trading make it a minimum 100K dollar fine.
Then the rest of us would be ok if the wallstreet people weren't allowed to short.

Obviously the annoying thing is that SSR doesn’t stop the shorting, it almost doesn’t affect its momentum. Big trading firms will use an aggressive short ladder attack to bypass SSR… Nothing is necessarily
What are thinking about doing!!! Shorts are much more ILLEGAL than Inverse Funds! Shorts are WAY above and beyond the TOTAL number of shares a company has total in number!!!!!
When reporting short interest can be skewed through a loophole, this needs to be addressed. When short sale restrictions are enacted as a safety for a volatile stock, but overridden through a mysterious, unregulated exchange: this needs to be addressed.
