Marking shares as "short" & having to deliver ACTUAL shares instead of Failure to deliver. This is a giant problem with hundreds if not thousands of companies in the market. A minimum of once every week, short positions should be revealed & posted WITH ACCURACY! no hiding the true numbers. Shorting is good for the market but "naked" shorts & unlimited shorting should never be allowed & prosecution for doing so should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Retail traders have to follow the rules, its a skewed system where large funds are able to trade shares under the table outside of market pricing. "dark pools" need to be completely shut down. Every share needs to be accounted for, naked shorting is an unfair advantage and also needs to be reined in. Every transaction, long or short needs to be reported and logged, there is no question about it and no reason for anybody to be conducting business otherwise.

While it's nice to see this request from retail investors, good intentions pave roads to nowhere.

The market is completely unbalanced when it comes to retail trading versus institutional trading. We need more transparency especially when it comes to institutions or hedge funds hiding their positions within the dark pools. They hide these positions and FTD's in the dark pool and through options trading. It is absolutely apparent there is naked shorting going on with certain stocks in the market such as GME and AMC. Finra should acknowledge this and do everything possible to alert the market on these manipulation tactics and frankly, referring to the naked shorting, crimes.

Hello all, I strongly believe that a huge step in the right direction would be to remove Market maker status from ALL institutions that either own or are a hedge fund themselves. (ex: Citadel ) The whole fact that a hedge fund or investment institution of any kind can be granted market maker status is wrong. It is an undeniable conflict of interest and the current market status is proof. My idea is to either remove the status/rank or dial back the privilege’s of market makers.
