I want more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports

The dark pools need to be removed to restore retail investor confidence. Full disclosure of short positions on a monthly basis. Rein in the hedge fund manipulation or the whole market will eat itself.

Thank you for expressing your concern on the matter. It is truly disheartening reading the available information and watch the market entirely disregard such within some securities. Also concerning is “entities” such as Iceberg research Twitter handle and their proclamation to the world which was broadcast through news outlets shortly after being tweeted.

FINRA, I am just a small retail investor that is quickly losing faith in a fair and transparent marketplace. I would like more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports to begin with. Can you help restore faith in the "retail investor" community by requiring extreme transparency at all levels? We need a fair and unbiased referee, without that, I will not play the game much longer. Thank you, Joseph Lachance Manchester, NH 03104 United States of America

Thank you for your time. I have a few questions. The dark pools were intended for a major seller of own investment to unload a large block of shares without forcing price up or down. It is now a daily assurance that 60-70% trades are in a dark pool vs open market NYSE for small share count trades? Prominently AMC and GME. Most of the rest of the market is 6-9% dark pool. Not going to fix shorts till you fix all the under lying conditions and reign in market manipulation. Where’s the transparency of a free open market.

Do everything in your power to change the world for the better, Reporting (up to date) (short) positions is a start. Thank you

The reporting of "short interest" should be accurate! The everyday, retail investor should have access to ever piece of information the Hedge Funds and Market Makers have. If company is under attack by one of these Hedge Funds, we should be able to obtain real time info we can make educated decisions on where you are putting our money and not get caught holding the back when said company is put out of business!

Better reporting on short interest, including synthetic positions hidden in the options chain Full transperancy of the Dark Pool markets - why does more than half the daily volume come from darkpool?? where are those shares? Vastly steeper fines/prison sentences for being misleading regarding short posistions. Your punnishments in the past have merely rewarded the bad actors, they scam us for millions of dollars - and you charge them thousand dollar fines. the fines must be equal to the crime.

Dear FINRA: Firstly, I would like to thank you for giving the investor community an opportunity to be heard. For countless years, the investor community is deeply frustrated over the continuous manipulation of our financial system. I would like to address the following deep rooted issues regarding short selling within our financial system, and suggest possible solutions to mitigate risk in the financial markets. - There is a huge concern as to why short share availability, and short interest percentage is self-reported by financial institutions.

T+0. Instant settlement. No trading outside the lit market. No securing exchange security positions with bonded products; cash, margin, or owned stock only. Selling synthetic shorts depresses the stock price and defrauds the company in favor of market maker profits. Liquidity will come with instant settlement.
