Gary Hooper Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

Hello FINRA, I saw you are looking for comments on 21-19, regarding short positions. As I see it, the current US market is full of nothing but fraud, with the regulatory agencies being complicit. They are complicit through their complacency, with years of unchecked fraud and market manipulation through naked short selling by large hedge funds like Citadel and Susquehana being allowed to happen with impunity. The SEC and FINRA have known about this illegal counterfeiting practice for many years, with nothing being done to rectify the illegality of the market conditions.

Short selling restrictions. They should be forced to cover all short positions weekly if not daily. Market makers and hedge funds should not have the ability to short during pre or after market while most retail investors and the apps used are shackled to not being allowed to buy. Hedge funds should have to report daily their short positions and accurately, they should not be allowed to police themselves as it's a conflict of interests.
