It is commonly understood that for every transaction the terms of the exchange is known by both parties and executed faithfully to produce what we consider the stock market. Technology now allows for near instant transactions for market participants, therefore the due diligence of reporting that transaction to regulatory authorities should occur simultaneously with the transaction itself. This will promote accuracy and efficiency of reporting and compliance. T-0 transactions with instant updates for all market participants.

Short data needs to be reported every day. Playing field is not equal. Their is no FREE market at this current time and id be a fool to believe there ever was. Fines to these institutions is a joke as well. They need to be made an example of. Land of the free? Nope not us. Land of greed sure.

1. Illegal naked shorting needs to stop . 2. Should have mandatory, correct short interest reported daily . FTDS should be covered immediately when they are owed they shouldn’t become FTDS. Market manipulation needs to be stopped by hedge funds . An institution shouldnt be able to short any stock if they are a market maker . Conflict of interest . No more payment for order flow ! No more dark pool manipulation.

We should get fair reporting real time on the buys and sells as they are placed in the market. Brokers and market makers make billions every year by payment for order flow and parking orders. They spent millions to get faster fiber optic cables for those fractions of a second faster receiving of the data as Knowledge is and forever will be power. Why is there a t plus 2 or some reports only send twice a month when it would be simple to share this real time with investors. This would help close the massive gap of fairness in the market.

I think that the shorts should have to cover there positions after 7 days no matter what happens

We need to see more accurate short interest data I believe it’s not accurate and the fact that citadel can make the markets and invest in them and double dip and manipulate is unbeliveble.

In a fair and open market there should be transparency and a level playing field for all investors; be they retail or institutional. The # of shares shorted should be available IN REAL TIME throughout the trading day. Dark pool trading must be eliminated. We can clearly see that large institutions are buying massive quantities of AMC stock (for example) on the dark pool and then flooding the public exchange with shares (via selling, short-selling and short laddering) in order to MANIPULATE THE PRICE DOWN.

Short selling of stocks, payment for order flow (PFOF) and Dark Pool trading should be banned completely. Shorting was banned by the SEC during the 2008 financial crisis and it has been banned in several markets worldwide. Shorting has caused promising companies to disappear due to naked shorting, manipulation and corruption that is rampant and obvious with no rule or law enforcement. Full transparency, laws, rules and regulations should be stricter and strongly enforced, rules with no enforcement accomplish nothing.

I am a fully invested “Ape” as you call us , over here in the UK the widespread corruption in the markets is as plain to see as it is over there in the states. Yet nobody seems to have the [REDACTED] to tackle it . This Baked shorting and Dark pool trading is so illegal that is beggars belief & the time has come now !. Remember the whole world is watching and the integrity of the stock market has never been so in the balance.

Transparency and equality in the market. Hedge funds should not be allowed to do note than your typical retail investor. They should not be able to get away with naked shorting and synthetic shares that should be ilegal. Please level the playing field and make everything transparent.
