Every share needs to be tracked. Every share should easily be accounted for and able to be located. If we are going to allow for share lending then only allow for the share to be lent once. Every order should be delivered T+2. If a fTD occurs there needs to be a steep penalty/fine ex: 10x cost penalty. Every short position should be updated with FINRA daily. Self reporting is a joke and unreliable. We also need to get rid of dark pool trading. It makes no sense that with some stock over 70-80% of the trading activity is occurring in the dark pools with no transparency.

As long as shares can be bought on pfof and routed through dark pools it is not reported to the NYSE so it does not count for the value of the stock.also with hedge funds borrowing and selling fake shares stock prices are manipulated

I think all of these should be implemented and enforced. The retail trader needs more transparency especially after the gamestop saga.

I would like to speak for all retail investors when I say the underhanded ways corporations are given to manipulate a stock are abhorrent. A pure disregard for what an "Open market" should be. I feel the only way the playing field can be leveled is to make all information available to us, and for entities such as yourselves to police matters harder with stiffer penalties. This is the way it should be. Fair. I hope this hits home. Dylan Harper.

Eliminate dark pools Fines should be greater than the profit hedge made from the illegal activity Jail time is needed for market manipulation. Short positions should be forcibly closed out if illegal market manipulation is found and trading rights of those involved should be revoked. Shorting taking place in the dark pool needs to be disclosed to the public. If an institution buys shares in the dark pool and then dumps (sells) those same shares on the public exchanges to tank the price, this should have to be reported. Fail to Delivers should be reported to the public as well as Finra.

There should be more transparency in the stock market and fines for illegal activities that are actual of a significant magnitude.

The amount of naked shorting and failure to delivers in the market currently is absolutely unacceptable. Please make a change to the rules we're short positions and make it short positions have to be reported daily.

Is anything going on with regards to investigating ‘meme’ stocks AMC and GME? There is so much fraudulent manipulation of the stock prices I. A daily basis. I’ve seen this for months. I’m no expert but have educated myself to being able to read a stock chart and basic corresponding numbers. Daily - —ladder attacks - buy/sell of millions of shares, or continuous sell orders that are canceled immediately after being made —Market Manipulation /bots being placed every couple of days advising people to sell at a certain price (first it was $50.00, then $100.00, now $300.00.

I strongly agree with proposed changes. We all want a fair market but it seems that big financial institutions and regulatory institutions are failing to provide that. First shorts should been reported daily. No dark pools since most of volume is trade there, and is not reflected on regular market. Fines should be increased to same amount that you obtained through illegal practices, because right now they are a slap on the wrist for big HF. No PFOF. Retailer traders should get the best execution. I WANT A FAIR MARKET! Thank you for your time and consideration.

The new regulations are not doing anything to prevent the abuse of market manipulation. Why do you guys have Market Makers and Hedgefunds as the same entity? This only creates conflict of interest. Also, dark pool trading should be eliminated completely due to lack of transparency.
