I'm writing to request more transparency, fairness and accountability in our financial markets, as all of us rely on our regulatory entities for that assurance. There are some things that are of particular interest to me: 1. Transparency of Buy/Sell orders in the market as a whole, including but not limited to OTC/ATS off market trading. 2. Information market makers have when it comes to filing for a short position should be made known to everyone, including retail traders. 3. Short positions should be covered by everyone at close of day, no more T+ non sense. 4.

On this issues presented, my comments are: Short Interest Positions: I feel that short interest positions should be reported as all other positions are reported. There are videos of former hedge fund managers(Jim Cramer) admitting that psychological manipulation and misinformation are essential tools for a hedge fund to create narratives in the media for the purpose of manipulating a stock. Knowing who is to profit from such narratives would greatly assist the market in finding the correct value of a security despite efforts to undermine its value. Also, Shorting should be limited.

Just speculation but I’d look at dark pools. We’re seeing 60-71% volume of AMC trading there. Would it be possible to have have someone purchase a bunch of long AMC shares in a dark pool. Then have someone like say citadel buy them in the dark pool for a slightly larger price just to dump in them in the market at open to discourage people from investing in AMC. Seems like manipulating to me.

Dark pools should be monitored and enforced with sanctions (suspensions) to prevent abuse which adversely impact true equity price and unfairly advantage market makers. FTD need to be enforced and not delayed with swaps and/or complicated moves not afford to the public. Naked Shares should be banned to prevent fraudulent resale of equities.
