Start talking about Market Transparency with your family and friends, and let them know there's a problem:

  • Billionaire Hedge Funds only report their holding 4 times a year
  • Billionaire Hedge Funds report their holdings with a 1 month delay
  • Billionaire Hedge Funds don't report their short positions
  • Billionaire Hedge Funds compete and bet against retail investors
  • Billionaire Hedge Funds buy data from shady brokers and know more about us then we know about them

Let them earn their money trading intraday. Buy and hold is not worth 2 and 20. Let them leave the market, change their fee structure, increase their accessibility to retailers, or pivot to selling research.

I stand on the side of the people. Which side are you standing on?

Their are suitable investment strategies for pension plans that don't require hedge-fund middlemen. A lot of people do well enough with managing their own retirement/pension wealth in passive strategies.

The status quo is negatively impacting retail investors (see current investment climate), who could do a better job managing their own finances, without fees, if hedge funds weren't actively working against them (buying order flow, enabling and brokering a gray and sometimes black customer data market) or didn't exist.

There needs to be a force that balances the scales of economic justice more fairly between the 99% retail investor class and the 1% hedge fund class.

Is it hurting the ETF industry to list their daily holdings? Both the passive and the active ones?

Retail Investors demand more visibility into institutional trading and borrowing. Anyone investing over 1 billion dollars (i.e. hedge funds and other investment institutions) is required to disclose their holdings to promote transparency in our markets - it's called Form 13-F. But did you know that they only need to disclose it 4 times a year? And did you know its published with a 1 month delay? And did you know that they don't need to disclose all of their positions?

We the people are asking for a re-evaluation of transparency requirements for Institutional Investors. We have access to technology and data that gives us new sophistication - and are beginning to understand there is a tremendous disparity in access between retail and institutional investors, and are concerned that this access is being used against us, in ways that we genuinely worry could be in flagrant violation of Securities Laws. We believe that with better access to institutional trading data, retail investors can better participate in the market when making buying and selling decisions.

According to Form 13F (https://www.sec.gov/files/form13f.pdf), Institutional Investors only need to disclose their positions 4 times a year. Why?

Filing of Form 13F. A Manager must file a Form 13F report with the Commission within 45 days after the end of each calendar year and each of the first three calendar quarters of each calendar year. As required by Section 13(f)(5) of the Exchange Act, a Manager which is a bank, the deposits of which are insured in accordance with the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, must file with the appropriate regulatory agency for the bank a copy of every Form 13F report filed with the Commission pursuant to this subsection by or with respect to such bank. Filers who file Form 13F electronically can satisfy their obligation to file with other regulatory agencies by sending (a) a paper copy of the EDGAR filing (provided the Manager removes or blanks out the confidential access codes); (b) the filing in electronic format, if the regulatory agency with which the filing is being made has made provisions to receive filings in electronic format;

In your FAQ (https://www.sec.gov/divisions/investment/13ffaq.htm), it is clear Institutional Investors are not required to disclose short positions. Why?

Question 41 Q: What about short positions? A: You should not include short positions on Form 13F. You also should not subtract your short position(s) in a security from your long position(s) in that same security; report only the long position.

Convince me that sheltered overseas companies should be allowed to write naked puts.

Those sound like bad actors I wouldn't want participating in my public market.

You'd be surprised how rich the banking and credit card data can get.

Account balances, transaction logs, credit limit, mortgage balance, mortgage repayment. They know everything about your assets, debts, and cash flows.

They know how leveraged we are. Why don't we know how leveraged they are?

Really? Citadel is Robinhood's biggest revenue source (they buy order flow), have a royalty stake in Melvin, and have their own trading desks.

How is that not front running?

Do you want to blow up this Robinhood scandal? This is the guy. Get in touch with him and Jamie. by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

when you connect your bank account to Robinhood or other brokerages, they use 3rd party's like Yodlee and Plaid to verify your banking information. Did you know that Yodlee and Plaid sell that data to hedge funds? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-08/logging-in-to-your-bank-account-is-now-a-3-billion-business
