Short selling is a practice in financial markets where investors bet on a stocks decline by borrowing shares and selling them, hoping to buy them back at a lower price. This controversial strategy has been a hot topic recently, with online communities like Reddits WallStreetBets challenging conventional Wall Street practices. Petitions on Change.org related to short selling focus on regulating or even banning the practice to prevent market manipulation and protect retail investors.
One petition, with thousands of signatures, calls for increased transparency and accountability in short selling to prevent abuse. Another petition demands stricter regulations to curb short sellings negative impact on small businesses and individual investors. By exploring and supporting these petitions, you can contribute to the ongoing conversation about financial market fairness and advocate for necessary changes to protect investors interests. Join the movement to hold institutions accountable and create a more equitable trading environment for all.
Short seller attacks on perfectly viable companies have cost.me thousands in a little over a year. While I have occasionally sold tesla short for instance, playing it's swings, I do not support the short sale as a means to bring bankruptcy onto companies....Financials are tough enough for new/small call companies without added undue pressures from short sellers.
The current SEC is woefully inept or lack the will to curb naked short selling. So "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes ?" Hopefully the new administration will have the courage to tackle this long standing issue head on. Retail investors want and expect transparency and fairness from the world's biggest stock market.
For far too long, naked shorting has costed 100's of TRILLIONS of US dollars by nefarious Wall Street Actors. Robert Steele, former CIA Officer, has publicly stated that Wall Street has STOLEN from MAIN STREET over 100T and that was 5 years ago. Imagine that Capital remaining here in the US Financial Markets rather than escaping to off shore accounts held by the elite. Imagine all the US businesses that would've been booming adding to our technology, medicine and other areas providing jobs and security. I find it difficult to digest how the Madoff exemption is still in play and the abuse suffered by capture regulators. As an MMTLP invest still caught up in this regulatory nightmare, I stand firm this was created by Joe Biden.
Its time for resolution on MMTLP yet more importantly, it's time to reform the markets as we stand idly by and watch other countries such as Turkey, S. Korea, UK and many others banning naked shorts. It's like the USA is the theft capital of the world when "suits" and extreme wealth prevail in carrying out the greatest theft in world history.
I agree, Corruption in Government must end yet if the financial markets are not resolved then all that you have done is for nothing while the corruption will only shift. USAID has dried up and other Government exposure yet do not be fooled that this corruption will not penetrate even deeper into our financial markets.
It's time to aggressively go after the fraud and theft in all Government agencies including the SEC, FINRA, UPC, OCC ECT...
Cut off the oppositions sources of revenue and the lack of funding and the world will change.
2 years ago I lost my livelihood, home, retirement, savings, vehicles, possessions and was homeless for 8 months all because Joe Biden & Gary Gensler allowed HF & MMTLP to go wild. While these naferious actors live the good life by stealing, I am just trying to keep a roof over my head, eat once a day sometimes twice and ride a bus. Going on 60 yrs old, it's not fun, all because of unbridled greed from Wall Street & Corrupt Regulators.
STOP THE THEFT, FRAUD, COLLUSION, CONSPIRACY,etc to RESTORE & MAGA !
Thank you Sir,

For four years I had to watch retail lose money or go through unnecessary emotional traumas due to the bad actors of the financial market who cheat their way to profits. We have the SEC who purposely looks the other way when it comes to implementing rules and regulations. Only for retail does those penalties apply and irs complete bs. I ask to investigate everyone involved in the market from the last 10 years to make market corrections and force naked short sellers to buy back the shares that they owe. It’s completely unethical to promise market fairness and transparency but to exercise neither.
