 The markets are not currently functioning as originally intended, at least not in a manner which we are thought to believe that the market works. There are currently no way to know how many shorts are being opened real time, and what we are told is self reported by the companies which have an insentive to lie. When these firms get caught lieing their fine is less than the profit they earn from the manipulation.
Please work in retails benefit, this will benefit everyone when the market is actually decided based on supply demand, not who is being pumped by manipulators, or shorted to death.
Its rediculous that this rule isn't in place already, and this rule will barely help and appears to be more lipstick on the proverbial pig.
Do better SEC and fight for us
