Chris Early Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

In a fair and free market there should be absolute transparency. The number of shares shorted should be available in real time during trading hours. No more dark pool trading. Every single share sold should be reported and able to be located at any time. Market manipulation is rampant and hurting retail investors. Get rid of algo trading back and forth. Naked shorting and FTDs should carry heavier penalties and be forced to close out their positions much sooner or face total trading restrictions. Naked short selling currently happens and is illegal and is unfair to retail traders.

Complete transparency! If a market maker like Citadel can process order flow and know in real time what moves I'm making, then it should go without question that I be able to see what positions they are taking, also in real time. It's an extreme conflict of interest that they are allowed to do both. These current timelines for reporting are an extreme disadvantage to retail investors. Most of all, naked shorting, synthetic shares, FTD's and the use of darkpools has gotten extremely out of hand.

Where do I begin? Crack out the whip on SEC forcing them to actually enforce the current rules, & make improvements where needed to protect EVERY investor - NO FAVORITISM. Shorts should be transparent for ALL to see. 'Immediate' enforcement of FTD failure to deliver. FULL transparency is imperative, show what's happening on the inside with dark pools. A fair market needs to have transparency!

Its clear that you guys understand that big intuition shape market sentiment, that is why it has been required for big institution to report when they take a long position in any company, it is beyond absurd that the same requirements are not in place when a large intuition takes a massive short position. Going forward, it should be a requirement that short positions be reported on a daily basis, preferably twice a day, at market close and at market open, and large fines should be associated with incorrect reporting of these position.
