Cesar Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

I request that regulation and enforcement be equal for all stock market participants. It is frustrating to know how many advantages, privileges, and self oversight benefits are granted to institutional investors, market makers and clearance houses. The crimes are no longer speculation. There is public information on repeat offenders and habitual lawbreakers taking the stock market hostage to do their own bidding. Abuse of naked shorting or the lack of regulation behind it is removing all faith I hold for the market.

All short sale information should be available to all traders! ALL of it! Also, Dark Pools should be outlawed. Or at least, if blocks are bought on a dark pool, they should reflect the price on the retail charts. No more secrete crooked trading! OR, they should not be allowed to buy in a dark pool just to resell on the open market just to push a price down on a stock. Everything needs to start to be transparent! EVERYTHING! No more of this crooked, sneaky and Illegal stuff that goes on with these hedge funds!

Hello FINRA I'm a simple and uneducated ape, I'm fairly new to the market. I have seen verified data that shows companies (such as Melvin Capital and Citadel) funding media outlets to reinforce their short positions on a nearly perfect cyclical basis, I have seen people on social media paid for directly by such companies, and even worse I have companies ravage through money that wasn't their to increase failing positions.

As a “retail investor”, which is a term I hate, the actions of Wall Street “professionals” over the past 6 months or longer has been eye opening to say the least. As a 43 year old man with a Bachelors degree in finance, who has taken classes on investing, stocks, mutual funds, options, bonds, and various other securities I always knew that I wanted a professional to manage my portfolio and 401k because of all the complications and loop holes that existed. That was until Jan 27th when I heard about GameStop. A company that my kids and I shopped frequently.

Good afternoon, I am not very educated in the stock market and rules governing the actions of parties. However, I know that Naked Shorting is likely illegal and it seems that this has been happening with this merger between MMAT and Torchlight (TRCH). It's also unfair that so much shorting activity can be done secretively. There should be requirements for cooperations shorting to declare themselves. Fintel and Ortex data shows huge numbers of short shares. My brokerage (WeBull) has taken a very long time in providing the Preferred Stock Dividend.

I'm afraid these changes do not go nearly far enough. While additional and more timely information is certainly appreciated, I believe what we need is for all short sales to be reported similar to the availability of Level II data. That is, every short sale should have to be recorded and immediately posted with the loan terms, where the shares were loaned from, and through which market it was processed. I also believe that the identity of the fund or the broker should be disclosed.

Would you please stop acting like any of your new rules are going to do anything. New penalties, including jail time, need to be implemented. As of now you are being insulting and ignorant. The slap on the wrists continue=the crimes still continue. You are asking the very people breaking the laws to report to you that they are breaking the law, instead they file false report after false report, suppress price action, manipulate the press, this is RICO territory, and you know this. Do your jobs. I will be filing a complaint with the FBI.
