 These new proposals may get retail slightly better pricing but it does nothing to stop naked short selling or FTDs which I believe is really hindering market transparency. There are almost 1 million Reddit users belonging to a group called Superstonk that does an exorbitant amount of research and due diligence on the stock market and from everything Ive read I cant believe the levels of corruption that exist in our free markets. As a significant tax paying contributor to our society, it saddens me to see the apparent lack of oversight by our governmental agencies. It is a huge conflict of interest for Citadel to be both a market maker and a hedge fund and I hope to see this changed in the future.
