On April 11, 2016, the NYSE-ARCA ceased its publishing of FREE, PUBLIC, daily short volume.  Without the FREE, PUBLIC data investors are vulnerable to financial attacks on our money and investments in the stock exchanges.  In fact, we have no way to know when and if someone targets our investments in a malicious manner.

Everyone with a 401(k) or investments in the stock market is affected by this.  Your favorite company stock can be attacked in the dark and driven to bankruptcy, causing you to lose a lot of money!!!  

This has happened in the past, and is bound to happen again.  

In fact, after the last attack in 2008, The data was made FREE and PUBLIC to protect us from financial terrorists.  But today, that data has been made not public without so much as a hearing, regulation change, or law.  

It's like someone made it illegal to lock your doors at night in your home without ever telling you.

We are in danger today, much like in 2008, when our stock market was attacked. Investors have a right to know when their stocks are being attacked.  The FREE, PUBLIC data was a means of checks and balances for us.  It was our only way to see when our investments were being attacked by financial terrorists.  Without the transparency of data, we are left unprotected from abusive naked short selling which is used to bankrupt companies and steal our money.

The NYSE-ARCA now charges $6,000 for the data a year - as of April 12, 2016.  Unbeknownst to anyone, the FREE, PUBLIC data for 7 years was privatized and now for sale.  

Who has $6,000 to spend as a means of defense against their stock holdings?

The solution is the SEC (U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission) needs to act to reverse the privatization of the data and permit the PUBLIC a window into the dark world of short selling stocks.

Please sign to ask the SEC to help protect our investments and make the ARCA data available for FREE once again.  Only a transparent market will protect our economy and investments.
