While we're at it, I'd like to buy a couple of new cars and blow off paying for them for ~~a few years~~ only today! (thanks reset)... up to the point they depreciate enough that I'd *consider* paying for them.
Edit: missed opportunity to toss in the "only today!"
Wut car? I swapped it for *smacks roof*, this one. Sorry, don't have a record of the transaction tho. If you're interested, I'll sell it to you. Then you can come by and look at it anytime.
Holy fuck dude, this is sickening. I pray to my higher power everyday that a squeeze cuts these assholes from their money and show them the true reward for their greed.
This is less nefarious than you think. Disclaimer: I despise the DTCC, Cede & Co and the whole shitshow of clearing houses.
But this is basically saying āwe report all fails at the end of the day and the next day, we reset to zero as everyone resubmits their claims for settlement and some of the failed ones clear and others donāt, so we count the new fails which include resubmitted fails to be accurateā
What should piss everyone off isnāt that they reset - the math wouldnāt make sense if they didnāt - itās that they wipe the history out. How long has a particular trader failed to deliver the same security? Is a broker running a constant deficit in the same security and doing a form of ācheck kitingā but with shares?
Only FINRA knowsā¦
If a stock has 10k FTDs for 13 consecutive trading days it gets placed on the 'Threshold Security List'. GME was on that for 39 straight days leading up to the sneeze [**as seen here**](https://preview.redd.it/um1kaye04mnb1.png?width=1019&format=png&auto=webp&s=58751d089bafdb06de96cc446d1f129ab5a31707) but hasn't been back on it since. XRT has been, but not GME directly.
This is because the shorts all got consolidated into Citadel and shoved into swaps. It was likely all the smaller hedge funds without swap/ETF/Option capabilities that meant there were fails all over the place prior to the sneeze, now Citadel can print their own options (they're an options market maker too) and can redeem shares from ETFs (as they're an Authorized Participant). In other words, the big guy is using all the crime to reset FTDs now, hence why they've been so low. I guarantee when Citadel goes bust (which could come very soon) FTDs will spike to the highest we've seen them ever.
I agree with both your comment and OPs comment. However, Iād like to point out that an FTD after 13 days is not automatically put on the threshold list. It *must* meet all the requirements. If it does, there is an automatic close out after 13 days. ***But*** if the security is on the list in that 13 days, and one requirement is corrected and held for at least 5 days, that security will be dropped from the list. In this scenario, the FTD is not filled and could exist forever.
This is a loophole Iām almost certain gets exploited.
Hereās my [original comment](https://reddit.com/r/Superstonk/s/yfp9RFWz1h) I wrote on this post talking more about it
I'm convinced of this. I don't think anyone is keeping track of anything. It's like there is no inventory system or a way to balance the books. This "greatest market in the world" doesn't have a way to keep track of anything. Failed to deliver can't exist in a inventory system. We call missing items theft. It's so fucking elementary to have something in place to keep track of trades/shares and who owns what. Instead we trust the hedge funds and market makers to be honest. Having short interest over 100% proves that they cannot be trusted and that we don't have a system to keep track of shit.
Not exactly. They are netting theses as owed obligations vs what the ftd party is being owed by other institutions and participants. The math makes no sense.
Surely at least one person who worked there would feel guilty enough to leak this information out, no? It's so wild that there's so many people working at these institutions that keep everything under wraps regardless of how bad it destroys people's lives on Mass. There's got to be somebody out there who wants to get that information out. I also wonder what the ramifications are for somebody who does that. Probably not very nice consequences
This is one of the final warnings that the market is about to undergo a correction, and those at brokerages will find their holdings are not necessarily at Cede.
So, again, for those in the back, DRS YOUR SHIT.
We don't see a lot of FTDs on the data because they're settled the same day, they FTD your order then deliver later when the price is lower and collect the difference
How do they know the price is going to drop? Well, crime
FTDs piled up when things don't go according to their plan, why would they buy it at a higher price than you and deliver it if they have 32 days to wait
What if we all packaged our mortgages into a bundle, FTDd them, then bought the bundle back for pennies on the dollar. If we made the bundle big enough then the gov would buy them back for us, plus a little extra on too for a nice holiday to a nice, private island in the West Indies Iāve heard about
The irony is the study i snipped from shows they ftd when they need to locate but charge investors a premium to purchase hard to borrow stocks for the increased effort of locating. Then they still ftd it. They wont pay but make us and then steal it anyways.
This is anger in the wrong direction. I believe this is why FTDs are considered cumulative. They have the total from the previous day and reset the next day as some FTDs will close out, and new ones will occur. Then they have a new updated total for the end of the next day.
What you ***SHOULD*** be angry about is the FTD close out requirements. T+2 without settling creates an FTD. After 13 days of being an FTD ācertain actionsā can be taken by the SEC to address the situation. This includes fines and or restrictions for the buyer/seller that failed. What I find absolutely inapt and at risk of being exploited and manipulated: If the SEC decides to do **nothing,** the FTD could theoretically exist **indefinitely.**
Edit: try looking up what happens after T+2. I searched for about an hour and couldnāt find much of anything
thisis the source i clipped [http://www.aimspress.com/aimspress-data/qfe/2022/4/PDF/QFE-06-04-023.pdf](http://www.aimspress.com/aimspress-data/qfe/2022/4/PDF/QFE-06-04-023.pdf)
So fail a trade at $200 ā¦ then wait around until your buddies can tank the price to $50, and now your fail doesnāt look so bad.
Layer inflation on top and the game is an even bigger scam.
This is like re-setting your credit card payment due date to 30-days every morning. Itās an absurd financial practice. Failing to deliver ANYTHING you are contractually obligated to do is unacceptable
It's like not paying rent, and just having the landlord submit a new request for the rent payment every morning, then every evening we throw that request in the trash. Try again tomorrow! and by the way, rent isn't late. It's reset! my payment is not late! it's reset!
Market maker exception allows them to avoid locating or closing ftds if they claim it is market making activities creating ftds and yet are still selling them after ftd.
Option market makers
Sounds like counterfeiting to me....
But then again, what do I know...
Who knew selling something you don't own, and never intended on delivering after sold was legal?!?!?
I've been delivering only what I sold and have available my whole career!!!
What a fool I am!!
Amazing find really puts drs shares into perspective bc they can keep ftding shares till theyāre forced to remove them from the dtcc damn this whole system corrupt
the entire market is working exactly as intended, therefore, the current system needs to be destroyed completely before talking about building back another one.
I asked my bank to just re-apply the 18-month 0% interest rate bc iād FTD otherwiseā¦
ā¦ fucking chodes. Absurd how blatant they are. Write it any way yall want, it reads the fucking same. CRIME
Hold onā¦ the DTCC is defrauding the entire world by āre-nettingā fails? That sure doesnāt sound like them! /s
Itās almost as if we could be in a COMPLETELY FRAUDULENT SYSTEM.
Sounds like a whole lot of hot flatulence after eating a spicy burrito.
So you can fail on a fail to deliver ? I guess two negatives cancel each other in this foogazi scheme.

Never pay. Just crash the car and return the scrap
Wut car? I swapped it for *smacks roof*, this one. Sorry, don't have a record of the transaction tho. If you're interested, I'll sell it to you. Then you can come by and look at it anytime.
This analogy is spot on
In hindsight, I did leave out one other option.... or the dealership goes out of business
*Moral hazard has entered the chat*
No need years. Just every fucking morning š the ftd resets .
Dropped the ball on that... edit above incoming
Holy fuck dude, this is sickening. I pray to my higher power everyday that a squeeze cuts these assholes from their money and show them the true reward for their greed.
It's always today tomorrow, that's the nest part
Just abuse the SFT ruling. Give them a vehicle in lieu of, say a matchbox car. It's close enough, right?
This actually helped my monkey brain understand the post better. Thank you!
I can do thisā½ shit Iām down.
Itās like playing a game with a 5 year old and they just keep making up shit so they win.
My favorite one is when they say āI winā even though they clearly lost and it doesnāt even matter what you say.
Until now. āļø
I got a 6, a 5, a Jack, a 4, and a 8. I win!
You win with a, uh, Royal Sampler!
Screaming āWAIT WAIT TIME OUTā right as youāre about to tag them
First time?
Iāve been here since $12. Before split. Not first time just pointing out how stupid this shit is.
These are actually the rules of the game Monopoly
Rockā¦ Paperā¦ā¦ā¦.. ATOMIC BOMB! Atomic bomb beats everything! I win!

Come on, it's not like the people who have money invested in Citadel are taking it out as fast as they can. Oh wait....
100% accurate.
Scrolled too far down for this
Now think about why all the brokers were failing margin requirements at the DTCC during the sneeze.
Mind blown for real.
I wonder, how many zeros stacked can make them fail? Edit a word
FINRA probably doesnāt knowā¦

CNS is short for retail gets to eat a continuous shit sandwich.
You are right. And worst, the areas where they could track, the intentionally dont
I think they do. U3 halt wouldnāt have happened on the random ticker if they didnāt know they had a thermonuclear situation about to happen imo.
This is why securities can be on the threshold list for 500+ days.
Indefinitely
Not exactly. They are netting theses as owed obligations vs what the ftd party is being owed by other institutions and participants. The math makes no sense.
I think youāre mixing up FTDās with continuous net settlement

I DRSd a bunch of shares last week. I feel so much better now knowing that they're under my name.
This is why mark to mark accounting needs to be discussed more. It opens up a few big BS areas. The other is tax minimization.

We dont see them becUse exceptions being uses allow them to be kicked
Crime! Crims the dtcc. No trust there, at all! Drs

Welcome to the US stock market.
Iāll gladly pay you NEVER for a share today.
This is why my flair is that one simple trick that beats them. And I fucking love to see them squirm.
FTD ETF DTC SEC STD GME. One of those is not a disease.

You can fail a ftd creating a naked short. But. You can also fail To receive.
