Small investors are being ripped off by volatility caused by secret short selling of stocks. Hedge funds and professional traders love volatility because they have the staff expertise to take full advantage of small investors lask of knowledge of short selling activity. Brokers should be required by SEC to report the volume of stock lending along with trading volume real time during the trading day. At present shorting is only reported once each month. Congress must protect their small investor constituents against secret shortselling by changing the reporting rules.
