reporting transparency for Form SHO rules (until Feb., 2026) dealing with among other things, "Naked Short Sales", and our current Stock Market direction...after all, Trump has 100% control over the imposition and timing of Tariffs that clearly depress virtually all stocks...therefore, it's conceivable that he and others close to him could exercise such 'NSS's' without having to be "transparent" about it. What are the odds he'd pass up such an opportunity...and what are the odds that he would subject his own investments, and those of others close to him, to significant losses, like we're seeing right now.
See linked SEC announcement...and the following WH statement...
...from that statement...(i.e. 'Rules are for Losers')
-------------------
REINING IN INDEPENDENT AGENCIES: So-called independent agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have exercised enormous power over the American people without Presidential oversight.
These agencies issue rules and regulations that cost billions of dollars and implicate some of the most controversial policy matters, and they do so without the review of the democratically elected President.
They also spend American tax dollars and set priorities without consulting the President, while setting their own performance standards.
Now they will no longer impose rules on the American people without oversight or accountability.

Note that Form SHO was first created back in 2005 because of rampant Short Sale abuses...yet the desire for "Unfair Advantage" still exists. Let's hope that this is not the case with Trump...but if it is, then IMO it would qualify as a "High Crime, or Misdemeanor" and worthy of Impeachment proceedings.
