Gamestop and many other stocks have been and continue to be a target to illegal naked short selling that needs to stop, protect the retail investors and companies from crooks and cheats that use illegal practices to stay rich and keep the poor broke as well as drive companies that do good in the world into the ground. Get rid of PFOF, insider trading, politicians having any part of trading, dark pools. Implement the rules you have in place already. Increase fines on the hedge funds that steal millions and only get fined thousands.

It’s sad to see laws being broken and nothing being done to bring justice to the people being taken for granted and used. Billionaires should not be allowed to get away with this kind of nonsense theft. Where is the rule of law? Allowing this type of theft is slowly unraveling our society and has very dangerous implications. Companies are going bankrupt due to companies like citadel shorting stocks. Make everything transparent. PROTECT THE WORKING CLASS #kengriffinlied

By implementing rules that are so easily maneuvered you’re at best turning a blind eye to naked shorting (fraud) and at worst facilitating fraud and the demise of the trust in American Institutions.

I'm pretty sure you have seen the unfair playing field retail investors have vs market makers and politicians. Something needs to change, for the people to at least level the playing field. We need a fair market, not corrupt where rich get richer and the little guy is screwed over. Thanks.

Please prosecute Citadel for their stock manipulation of GameStop

I want more data, more frequently, with more penalties for omissions and false reporting. Please push for more transparency in the markets.

Any data that is communicated publicly should be communicated in the most efficient manner possible. In a industry where data is considered to be so valuable that firms were willing to spend millions of dollars to have their fiber optic cable runs as close as physically possible to the exchanges so they could get a timing advantage, the short interest report being collected only a twice a month and distributed up to 12 days later is like finding out the asteroid hit 12 days later.

FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. While many of the policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective reporting, they also leave significant specific gaps that could compromise the entirety of 21-19's purpose.

I am commenting in regards to particular aspects of FINRA 21-19, which I do support and believe should have been enacted long ago. Undoubtedly, the public’s faith in the United States market has been diminishing following the many preventable financial crises that have occurred in the past. The ongoing state of the market from retail investors points of view, frankly appears broken and has failed to manage systemic risk in the interest of the public, rather FINRA’s ridiculous short interest reporting policy has only benefited everyone but the average American.

It is ludicrous to expect any self-reporting method of counting short positions to be anywhere near reliable. Organisations engaged in industrial scale naked shorting will obviously not tell the truth about their positions, especially when the fines for mis-reporting are a tiny fraction of the profits they can make. The only trustworthy method of counting shorts would be to count the shares in circulation and subtract that from the number of shares that ought to be in circulation.
