 As a retail investor I have seen my own holdings depreciate over the last 2 years from actions retail investors are now seeing come to light. What was once held behind curtains like the Wizard of Oz, we have seen glimpses as to the nefarious ways hedge funds and market makers have made share prices to depreciate just so they can make their money the way thats allowed. By forcing short positions to be disclosed by the SEC, and charging fees for illegal actions that are more than just doing business, retail investors can have a better chance at price discovery and see further into the corrupt ways stocks prices are made by these short positions. Thank you.
