With all the shenanigans that happen on the US market it is really causing myself and many others to lose faith in the American system. Many people from the UK have already stated they will Never invest in the American market again as it’s so corrupted. America wishes to be a global powerhouse but a lack of retail money will crush the dream very quickly all for the sake of looking after the 1%. Wake up to what is happening before it’s too late

Would like to see real time short interest information in regards to short positions and calls/puts, and failure to delivers on at least a t-3 system if not end of day by 6pm. This would encourage a far more fair and transparent market for retail traders.

Naked shorts, synthetic shorts, dark pools, all must go. Where is the fairness in trading on t Wall Street if the retail inverstors are at a disadvantage? There has to be more transparency on Wall Street, there has to be someone in charge who enforces the new regulations from SEC and FINRA, and reporting practices must be on a public level. Hedge fund and retail investor must have the same opportunities to trade. It cannot be that the inflow of share sales is sky high and the price does not increase!

I apologize for the undoubtedly large number of submissions you are likely receiving from those simply looking to vent rather than actually comment on the specific matters in this notice. The scope of volume seen in trading is absolutely daunting, and I think the first question that should be asked regarding any information being collected is whether it is purely self-reported, or if there is some way to readily independently audit/validate said info in a mostly automated fashion.

Make short selling more transparent (e.g daily data). Participants have to file in the long positions, but not the shorts, why? Disallow "data manipulation" by fake covering with worthless deep OTM options. Remove loopholes based on T+2 settlement. Why even T+2? Make it T+0 already. Why allow shorting of stocks on the security threshold list by short excempt? It seems not appropriate to give a broker that kind of decision. Short selling right now is biased to spexific market participants, giving them huge advantages over retail. This is not a fair market.

Please do something about the illegal marking shorts as longs, prime brokers conspiring with hedgefunds, dark pool abuse, naked shorting, and tranperancy. Stop allowing hedgefunds to abuse shorts and only get a small fine if caught. Serious penalty or jail time for illegality should b considered if u wish fo uphold rule of law

Amc is being manipulated by ftds, dark pool trading, bond melting , being on the threshold lost from these illegal moves made by hedge funds (citadel). SSR has been issued multiple times to amc in the last month but continually the interest continues to rise and the short position continues to not be covered. Please look into this unbiased.

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. Naked shorting and FTDs should carry heavier penalties, always more than the profits gained, and be forced to close out their positions much sooner or face total trading restrictions.

Hedge funds selling synthetic shares should be scrutinized and rules should be such that the naked shorting or synthetic shares should be made unavailable.

To whom it may concern, I feel that things could go better if rules which are passed are enforced. Shorts and naked shorts should be closed and not covered because they(hedge funds with short positions) just use illegal ways for covering. Using the rules to over manipulate a stock (AMC, GME) isn't fair market and harsher punishment should be the consequences. Jail time, fines which start in $500 millions, bared from short selling or trading, taking away their license.
