Transparency in the market and frequent monitoring of naked shorting. Start enforcing the rules we already have and the fines need to be steep enough to incentivize the Hedge Funds and other large investors to stop with the illegal activity. The fines need to be in the 10's or 100's of millions of dollars.

Order execution on the dark pool vs nyse. 1. There needs to be a limit on how many share that can be purchased on the dark pool and sold on the nyse to short a stock. 2. A market maker should not be allowed to handle orders of execution on a stock he or she is shorting. This creates a huge conflict of interest and predatory practices. They will just route your buys through the dark side and your sells through the lit to manipulate the prices. 3. Retail investors should have the right to choose if they want their orders of execution on the dark or lit.

1.⁠Reduce the reporting period to weekly (or preferably daily) from biweekly. 2.Require that exchanges report failures to deliver and naked shorts alongside covered shorts. 3.Reduce the holding period for reported days from 4 days to 2 or fewer. 4.Document and release the identities of funds that have open short positions and their sizes. This would operate similarly to the way longs and options are currently reported. 5.Regularly audit the reported positions to ensure the self reporting is accurate and fine (or penalize) entities that misreport.

I would like more frequent updates and more transparency of the data surrounding short positions in the US financial market.

Hello, I'm sending this comment on behalf of the current situation of short sales being done within the stock market of AMC. As a new investor being affected by the current situation of the manipulation being held within the stock market, specifically AMC, it has been disheartening to see what's being done to the stock market. I've noticed throughout my time investing, I, along with many other individual investors, have realized since the beginning of January that there has been inequality due to certain interests between the wealthy and working class of society.

As an individual investor I would like a fair market with the same information and resources open to all for investment researchers, from big hedge fund firms to individual investors, me. It is completely unfair Short-sellers can sell naked shorts, or empty shares or whatever you want to call them while, I, not a big [REDACTED] firm, have to pay for each of my shares from my hard earned money.

Hedge fund managers need to be held accountable by jail time for naked shorting a stock in order to bankrupt a company. Regular investors that believe in a company and buy into it to help a company grow with an intent to make a profit should not be on the short end of the stick here (no pun intended). Investigate and hold these people accountable!

Shorting shares should be limited to the shares you actually own. No borrowed shares. No corporate bond shares. No fake shares. ACTUAL Shares owned!!!
