Anthony Rivas Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

Hi there, thank you for reading my comment. I support all of these new rules. However, re: rule #1, I would like to see that in conjunction with rule #2, not as an alternative to it. I also believe all short interest data should be reported on a daily basis not just to FINRA but also to the public as this data is crucial to some trading strategies and I believe it is available to institutions but not retail investors.

Pretty much what everyone said before me! I’m uk based and I’d love to see a level playing field and severe punishment for anyone trying to do crime in the market or anywhere else for that matter. If you mug someone in the street off you pop to prison so why is doing exactly that on Wallstreet any different? Please do the right thing and you’ll have so much more respect from a lot of people Thank you and good night regards Mark

While the rules being put into play this year are good in essence, it doesn't do any good of they are not enforced. That being said, with all of the research and exposing retail investors have done over the last 7 months, it is very clear to the world that the "free" market does not exist. It seems, though lack of transparency and lack of action, that FINRA, the SEC, and all other market regulators are working in cahoots with hedge funds and market makers for profit. The retail investor is not protected in any scope of the word.

Every institution should have to report their short position(s) immediately and be made public. The time is takes for market makers to cover failure to delivers on the thresh hold list needs to be reduced from 13 days to 3 days. All failure to delivers should be reported T+2 days. The penalty for creating synthetic shares should be the same as creating counterfeit fiat. Fines for market manipulation should be equitable to said profits made by manipulation. High frequency trading should be illegal.

SSR doesn't work when market makers such as Citadel Securities can still mark a short exempt. Short exempt is supposed to be an exception but every time $amc is on SSR the counts of short exempts is extremely high. Citadel's hedge fund profits from their market maker's ability to short during SSR as do the options contracts held by Citadel Securities. This is an unfair competitive advantage and similar to insider trading. Also there is no real punishment for violation of the uptick rule during SSR.

I would like to See ALL Data daily regarding short positions. How is it that high frequency trading can be programmed to carry out millions upon millions of short transactions daily, but not able to simply submit data regarding those positions. They should be submitted daily along with darkpool positions. Transparency needs to become 100% as this will also help keep markets more honest because after learning and examine data over the last six months it is frightening how corrupted the financial markets truly are.
