Please help restore faith and integrity to a damaged, corrupt, and dishonest market where large firms cripple the domestic and foreign investor thru clandestine operations of misinformation. WE NEED TO HAVE VERY SPECIFIC AND HONEST REPORTING OF SHORT POSITIONS. WE NEED BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY TO BRING BACK CLARITY! THIS IS A MUDDLED POND OF FILTH AND DISHONESTY. My Grandfather did not fight in World War II for His grandchildren to be blatantly robbed by wall street con men and Market Markers who torture an already crippled public.

More oversight and transparency is needed for short interest, options, and derivative products. It is not acceptable that there is a maximum threshold for short interest set at 140% where in actuality it could be much much higher. It also appears that there is no enforcement of false reporting. There is evidence that Citadel has call option contract out larger than shares existed while retail already holds a significant portion of that float. We have also noticed a lack of enforcement and paltry fines for offenders.

FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. While many of the policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective reporting, they also leave significant specific gaps that could compromise the entirety of 21-19's purpose.

Domestic and international retail investors are in dire need for a transparent and fair free market. Public scrutiny of market makers, investment firms and brokerages is at a tipping point where the average investor does not believe in a fair market. Individual investors are uncovering evidence of insider trading, price manipulation of securities sold in the NYSE and more importantly "Dark Pools". To restore trust in the American Stock Exchange; Market makers, investment firms and brokerages must be held to the highest standards.

FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. It is critical for the survivability of the US Markets that transparency and trust remain with to sustain it. Recent events have called that critical trust relationship into question, and as an American who serves this country, I urge FINRA do its utmost to ensure that the integrity of the United States markets remain intact. Unfortunately, businesses have proven that self-reporting and self-regulation do not work, and thus government regulation needs to step in to ensure markets are fair and equal for all participants to ensure continual survival.

I am very strongly in support of strict regulations that require the reporting of synthetic short positions. Daily reports of such positions and all other short positions should be required. Fail to delivers in particular need much more regulation. In my opinion FINRA should place regulating FTDs as priority one. More frequent reporting, and shorter time to release FTDs to the public, as currently the SEC releases with a two week delay. The FTD reports should be released daily, and immediately, to the public.
