I am writing to FINRA to comment today, pursuant to 15 U.S.C.A. § 78i, titled Manipulation of Security Prices, to prohibit manipulative and deceptive tactics that artificially depresses the price of AMC Entertainment and other securities in contravention of the laws of the United States.

Short sellers need to report there short positions just like long positions, puts, calls, etc. And just as often. Dark pool trading needs to be made illegal its not fair that one side of the market is made to disclose their position and the the other is not.

The fact that hedge funds can manipulate a stock with short selling stocks that are not even available is a crime that needs to be punished. This is not a new senerio but one that has been overlooked for a long time. Now millions of retail investors have realized the fraud and are demanding action. If this is not rectified the retail investor will pull out of the stock market as it is not a level playing field. The fact that a stock can have significantly higher buying than selling but continue to drop due to short selling is horrible.

There is no transparency within the market. End Dark pools. Strictly enforce SSR Enforce FTDs without delay. Make everyone, not some, play by the rules properly

The once a month short reports a a dis advantage to a ll traders. They can short more that 100% and we should be able to find out what the short interest is at will.

I just would like to say I can’t believe what is happening for the world to see. Blatant corruption and illegal dark trading that is being completely overlooked and ignored by the SEC and FINRA. We all see it, you obviously know about… how is this allowed to continue?

We need more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in those public reports. Naked shorting is illegal!!!

I am a novice retail investor and learning more each day. Here are a few remarks: 1. If naked or synthetic short is illegal, why allow it to happen? A company that issued 30 million shares should not be trading 100 million shares. 2. Rule breakers should pay fine to security agencies (SEC, FINRA, NTCC, etc.), compensate clients, and be restricted from trading certain stocks for a period of time. If behavior continues, apply more restrictions. 3.

Can there be more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports?

Hello I have submitted a previous comment but I wanted to include this as well. I and I'm sure others have stated there needs to be a very big regulatory body added for oversight into darkpool trading, more frequent checks on capital and sources of capital from any market maker or large organization sucks as hedge fund participating in our markets, and there needs to be a responsible party to hold them to the rules.
