What is being done to investigate naked shorting? There’s obviously an issue with it in GameStop and AMC among others. When will we hold these institutions for the damage they cause?!

The rule filings that FINRA is proposing is long overdue. Regulations have not kept up with the technology of today. All accounts should have to be recorded at the close of a business day. The way that hedge funds are allowed to manipulate markets is criminal. The damage it causes to underlying markets is catastrophic when algorithms set in.

Citadel is completing multiple dark pool trades to cause market manipulation and short stocks on multiple levels whilst the SEC stands by and lets it happen. On 07/12/21 there were record high dark pool trades for $AMC

I am a retail investor and have been for close to 12 years now. In my opinion, short sellers should be transparent in their dealings and if I had the ability, I would close dark pool opportunities for institutions since it seems to be a way to manipulate the market data overall. Regulations should be as up to date with data tracking and not be in a delay such as with the Ortix report coming out only 2 times a month.

As a relative newcomer to investing short interest seems to be a very complex subject to understand the situation regarding a company's share price and its analysis. Simple, accurate and timely information would help make a more informed decision on where to invest hard earned money. As such I feel information reported should be equally simple. Number of short positions opened, number of shares bought back to close short position, shares returned to lender. Daily reporting would be ideal. Also shares on loan should be reported and only a loaned share should be shorted.
