Everything should be reported daily. it is now 2021... There is no reason there is a "T+ anything" for reporting. It's all tabulated via computer and should be available immediately for review... these rules are ancient and do not reflect the level automation we are surrounded by in our everyday lives... I can make an ACH deposit from a bank across the world and have it show up in my bank account in a few mins... I'm pretty sure market makers and hedge funds can send an automated report to the governing bodies automatically at the end of every trading day...

*Short positions should be reported daily. I feel that this will provide more insight to the existence of Naked Shorts. *Synthetic Short Positions should most assuredly be reported. *Short volume should be capped and the cap kept low to allow for organic and transparent trading and limit the opportunity to manipulate the stock. *Dark pools should no longer be allowed. *Days on loan should be reduced or be reflected by a firms liquidity, and if a firm has low to no liquidity no borrowing is allowed. *Punishments for violations or misrepresentations of reported date; 1st offense = warning.

I support the changes and request for more transparency in our financial ecosystem, especially around naked short selling.

We absolutely need more transparency in the market. As more and more retail investors are joining the market, many of them are learning that they don't have access to the same information or ability to perform actions within the market that some of the huge institutions and market makers do. Naked shorting, dark pool trading, payment for order flow, etc. are all things that when examined at surface level, can be explained as necessary for the function and efficiency of the market. But at what cost?

Raising the difficulty of market manipulation via naked shorting and rapid trading has become a national mandate since the Robin Hood event. Market transparency is essential to free markets and the moves of institutional investors are bellwethers to retail investors who are harmed by market downturns without equal access to information on market moves. A balance must be struck between the need to have a place to conduct large trades without disturbing the price, and the need of the public for equal information as well as equal risk.

you have to stop brokers from borrow users shares or other companies to sell fractionated shares, doing this is just creating an alteration of the market flow. the market should be based on offer and demand, shorts may exists, but in other conditions that doesn't put in risk formal investments.

So as we all know regular investors would like to have a fiat play on the market. Reporting more accurate short interest and positions would help us control the unlawful actions that have been hurting market for years. The people the use those techniques to make more money they would be stoped. I am AMC share holder and I want my voice to be hard we want equality we need to start making that happen. Thank you

A crime with a fine only exists for poor people. It is merely a fee to rich people. A couple million dollar fee does not put a stop to the corruption the hedge funds and other large institutions are partaking in. It is simply allowing them to do illegal activities for a cost. Allowing them to benefit from them. An example would be allowing drug dealers to keep their products, their freedom for a fee far lesser than the profit of the crime. A share must be tracked. As much as the IRS will jail anyone with misinformation on their taxes, the SEC must jail misinformation from institutions.

I am truly disgusted at how the SEC has allowed hedge fund companies, billionaires and millionaires to perform naked shorts against companies like AMC entertainment (AMC) and GameStop (GME). Please make them cover their short positions and penalize them for performing illegal acts in the stock market. That really takes the honor and integrity out of the stock market and discourages retail investors like myself from participating in investing in the market.

The technology exists for shorts to be tracked and displayed to the retail market in real time. There should be five designations on the real time level two transactions: by the ask sell the bid, sell short, buy to cover, buy or sell last price. Algorithms should be disallowed from opening or closing short positions so all must intentionally participate in the short sale. This will allow for more insight into market collusion/manipulation and provide personal accountability. Thank you for your consideration. Gary
