Mary Eileen Gardner Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

I have held stock in both GME and AMC since January. I watched as the GME stock was manipulated by several Brokers when they all removed/limited retail investors ability to purchase stock but allowed selling. This resulted in a " Flash Crash" of GME price. Since then we have watched Companies use shorts/naked shorts to manipulate the price of both AMC and GME. There seems to be a disconnect between the numbers of these shorts being reported to regulatory agencies.

Transparency and fairness for all investors is all anyone wants. What has been happening over the last 6 months in certain stocks is unbelievable. Hedge funds need/must be held responsible for their actions when it come to FTD's naked shorting, etc. just the same as retail traders must follow the rules set forth by the governing body. Please this is huge for the US trading markets and will have a huge impact on the future of our great country if something isn't done soon.

I appreciate many of the actions that are listed. Requiring funds to post their short positions (whether synthetic or other) should absolutely be mandatory. The lack of transparency only creates opportunities for these funds to create illusionary positions and to skirt regulatory requirements. The greater the transparency these funds are required to maintain the greater the benefit to both regulatory bodies and individual investors. The only real issue that carries on regardless of any proposed changes is accountability. There are currently barely existent operations in terms of recourse.

Hello, I would like more transparency when it comes to reporting short interest. Right now short interest doesn’t account for naked shorting which is illegal but still being done and the data’s does not always reflect the current state. Every platform charge a subscription fee in order to view short interest which should be available just like every other data. Short interest from ortex, fintel, and S3 partners does not always reflect the same numbers of short interest.

There is absolutely a need for full disclosure of short interest reporting and regulation of stocks being subjected to naked short selling. As a US retail investor I have learned about the politics and fundamentals of shorting a stock to the point of placing our American companies out of business through the meme stock movement. Sadly, I am now scarred from the complete corruption that has been allowed and I no long have faith in our US stock market. This is impacting the world and the US economy as investors are now aware of the Wallstreet manipulation of stock prices.

Hello, Thank you for opening this to comment. My only comment is that I second all of the comments regarding our markets being rigged. Please listen to retail, because without us (and we’re rapidly losing faith), even Citadel won’t be able to make markets. Be on the right side of history and protect our markets from not only 100%+ short positions, but more importantly, off-exchange trading via dark pools and hiding large positions via options. Also, of course, rehypothecation. Again, we are rapidly losing faith and the failover plan is crypto, which the US cannot control.

We the people, the average retail investor, have been shunned away from valid information that is essential to our growth within the market. We deserve TRANSPERANCEY AND EQUALITY, why doesnt the average retail investor recieve the same information the same day as these hedge fund coporations. ITS ABSOLUTE UNFAIR to us, and gives the little guys less of advantage to grow. WE DESERVE CHANGE!
