Good day, In response to your request, I know a small part of the issue is the shorting problem of stocks. While I support more immediate reporting requirements the issue is naked shorting as well as mislabeling the short as Long's, using the dark market to manipulate the pricing of stocks, Synthetic shares being created for price manipulation, and other shorting issues being used by market makers and hedge funds for instance citadel and virtue.

Coming from a retail investor, I would like reporting of Short Interest to be updated daily. It need to be as transparent as possible. People deserve to know what’s going on and when.

Hello FINRA, There needs to be way more transparency when it comes to short selling. It seems short sellers have endless loopholes that allow them to “hide” their true short positions. It certainly appears the lack of rule enforcement and lack of short sell information gives the hedge funds and MMs an unfair upper hand compared to retail investors. Fairness, enforcing rules and providing all short position data would go a long way in leveling the playing field.

Hard working Americans, Retail Investors and those who were not born with a silver spoon only want two things: Transparency in the Stock Market and accountability. We need regulation bodies to hold those who perform malicious activity in the Stock Market accountable to their actions. Help restructure the system for a better and fair market! We are the people and we demand change! These past few months have been a huge educational journey for many, including myself. The manipulation needs to stop! Help save the economy before it’s too late.

Just want to say all aspects of short sales need to be much more transparent, along with dark pools/naked shorting, etc.

We need the rules to actually be enforced and market makers not able to use dark pools for anything other than non-predatory market making functions. Transparency and accountability are really the primary thing. Selling order books that show liquidation prices of individual investors is insider trading. Check every single futures chart and you will find impulse retracing liquidating people at their exact stop out and the price jump right back up. This isn't a coincidence. It's pure market manipulation through sold order books and information no one else has access to.

Price discovery tools are being used for fraud. Americans are having their money stolen by bad faith actors in the market. [REDACTED] someone do something.

Why AMC it's always been a stable for the community so many dates and good times. What's with the FTDs

There is so much public data showing short positions that exceed the outstanding shares of multiple companies. Short positions should be reported at least weekly. This includes borrowed shares that are sold short, and put options. Firms that fail to deliver should be fined much more than they currently are. If there are 1,000,000 outstanding shares, but call 20,000 open options for a ticker, there is clearly too many “synthetic” shares on the market, because if all those were exercised, there would be more shares on the market than were offered by the original company. Fines need to go up.

To keep it simple, shorting rules and regulations need to be updated and brought up to speed. Reporting should be done faster and more efficiently.
