I believe more transparency is needed any the dark pools need to be more transparent as well. The fines and penalties need to be increased so that the crime wouldn't be worth the cost of the crime. You have people taking interest in the stock market just to get robbed due to manipulation and synthetic shares. You will find that more people can be made to use the market fairly and people could stil profit. Hedge funds and market makers have computers and programs at their expense to do trading for them which could cause rug pulls and pump and dumps.

Hey there! I humbly and gratefully thank you guys for opening the doors to the public to have a say. I'd like to express my fears regarding short selling and naked shorting and how it affects my family. The stock price of my shares (AMC) often makes no sense, I'm asking FINRA to dig into just what's going on with big short positions, is the price being manipulated, the shorts have not been covered, if they have it's well hidden within something I cannot see. Please just help us out, this is my families life and out future.

Make it simple: add unique, serialized identifiers on every share. Tracking illegal activity would be easy, and lead to greater transparency and enforcement of laws. There’s too much shady and illegal practice in the market as it is, and enforcement is a joke. Nobody in the retail sectors trusts the market or the current laws’ ability to regulate all the nonsense. Make each share unique. Increase trust. Make the market truly free and open, or it will crumble. The market only has value because the people agree that it does.

Fair market! Stop the naked shorts and stock fraud!

Here are some examples on how the system could be improved: 1. ⁠Reduce the reporting period to weekly (or preferably daily) from biweekly. 2. ⁠Require that exchanges report failures to deliver and naked shorts alongside covered shorts. 3. ⁠Reduce the holding period for reported days from 4 days to 2 or fewer. 4. ⁠Document and release the identities of funds that have open short positions and their sizes. This would operate similarly to the way longs and options are currently reported. 5.

I want a more transparent market for retail investors. Live accurate data that isn't 2-30 days delayed and partially reported. It is a distinct disadvantage that retail has when it only gets part of the picture. I also would like to see more regulations and stiffer penalties on naked short selling. The fines that are handed out for FTDs and naked short selling are a drop in the bucket to these big firms who likely profited much more than the fines cost them through their illegal market actions. I think these people need to see jail time.
