Dear Sir or Madam, it has been long overdue to further regulate short sale reporting as short selling has primarily been used by the investment firms impacting the financial market of the United States the most of any parties. The lack thereof seems absurd when taking into consideration the false reporting of many facts by mainstream media such as short interest, highly opinionated company performances, retail investor influence on stock prices etc.

For the continued health of the market, transparency of short positions needs to be established.

I believe increasing the frequency of reporting would be extremely beneficial, transparency is one of the things that needs to be improved in many aspects in regards to the stock market as a whole. As of right now it is very difficult to find any accurate information on a variety of topics such as mergers, algorithms, the relationships between brokerages and hedge funds etc. short interest and positions is one of the only things that new retail investors can look up on a somewhat regular basis and even that is limited due to the infrequency.

To whom it may concern: Please take the time to investigate the amount of shorting taking place during the merger of (MMAT) Meta materials and (TRCH) Torchlight energy resources. Please investigate the specific dates of June 22nd, 2021 to July 12th, 2021. The amount of shorting and sell walls observed are highly suspect to hedge fund manipulations. Thousands of people have lost a lot of money here due to their market manipulations. Warm regards, Gilbert Silva

Hello, As a new investor, i had no idea that there was corruption in the stock markets at the level it currently is. The FTD's, the Darkpool, computer assistant trades that causes stocks to bar code and many more issues need to be address to make the market even for everyone. The MM, why are they needed, there is no need for a middle man imo, things need to change and some of the MM and hegies need to be ban from the markets, enough of the 10k fines.

Report short positions for a company they need to be enforced. Company's are super overleveraged and they are hiding these transactions and masking their short positions/Naked shorts to manipulate the stock market. Retail traders are the backing of these companies Like AMC and GME yet these institutions can do whatever they want behind closed doors.
