The Issue

As retail investors, we have noticed growing unfair practices in the stock market. It's personal to us because we've seen companies profiting off retail investors through questionable means and with little to no prevention from regulators. One of the most harmful of these practices is illegal naked shorting. A significant cause of market manipulation, illegal naked shorting creates a scenario where more stocks are sold short than actually exist, causing unnatural market volatility. This practice hurts individual investors while benefiting larger, institutional bodies. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has rules in place to prevent this practice, yet it still persists under the radar. Ending illegal naked shorting takes on paramount importance to ensure fairness and transparency in our financial systems. Stand with us in urging the SEC to intensify their enforcement efforts to protect retail investors. Sign the petition to end illegal naked shorting in the stock market today.
