I am a novice retail investor and learning more each day. Here are a few remarks: 1. If naked or synthetic short is illegal, why allow it to happen? A company that issued 30 million shares should not be trading 100 million shares. 2. Rule breakers should pay fine to security agencies (SEC, FINRA, NTCC, etc.), compensate clients, and be restricted from trading certain stocks for a period of time. If behavior continues, apply more restrictions. 3.

Can there be more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports?

Hello I have submitted a previous comment but I wanted to include this as well. I and I'm sure others have stated there needs to be a very big regulatory body added for oversight into darkpool trading, more frequent checks on capital and sources of capital from any market maker or large organization sucks as hedge fund participating in our markets, and there needs to be a responsible party to hold them to the rules.

Fairness , Transparency and access to all/same information and tech the big guys are using. Fair market all around. Justice for the little guys. For what they did to us in 08 and for what they are doing now. Malpractice Market manipulation

In a fair and free market there should be absolute transparency. The number of shares shorted should be available in real time during trading hours. No more dark pool trading. Every single share sold should be reported and able to be located at any time. Market manipulation is rampant and hurting retail investors. Get rid of algo trading back and forth. Naked shorting and FTDs should carry heavier penalties and be forced to close out their positions much sooner or face total trading restrictions. Naked short selling currently happens and is illegal and is unfair to retail traders.

Transparency in the market, I request more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports. Frequent monitoring of naked shorting especially from Citadel who is a Market Maker and Hedge fund which is a conflict of interest.

I would like more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports.

Please require all institutions and bonafide market makers to report their short positions who are subject to 13(f). Real time reporting of short positions would be beneficial as well. SSR rule needs to also account for naked shares. There have been multiple cases of $gme and $amc being shorted on red candles instead of being shorted on green candles when SSR is active.

I want more transparency and accountability regarding shorts, synthetic shorts, market manipulation by hedge funds and their use of distressed markets to destroy businesses and the economy. Regulate Wall Street.

Complete transparency! If a market maker like Citadel can process order flow and know in real time what moves I'm making, then it should go without question that I be able to see what positions they are taking, also in real time. It's an extreme conflict of interest that they are allowed to do both. These current timelines for reporting are an extreme disadvantage to retail investors. Most of all, naked shorting, synthetic shares, FTD's and the use of darkpools has gotten extremely out of hand.
