There isn’t any transparency within the market. Dark pools need to be done away with ASAP. SSR needs to actually be enforced. FTD’s should be enforced without delay. The hedgefunds do what they want and get away with it. Everyone is losing trust in the market because of all of this manipulation. Not just in America but other countries. All of this needs to be addressed swiftly.

I support the implementation of the proposed changes to rule 4920, in regulatory Notice 21-19, at the soonest date possible.

Have now studied the stock market and how groups like CITADEL have been absolutely stealing from the Global Investment Community while SEC/FINRA/LEGISLATORS/PRESIDENT are simply turning a blind eye to Naked Shorting/handling FTD's and being able to manipulate stock prices by using borrowed shares in DARK POOL TRADING. Ken Griffin needs to feel the pain that he has caused the world retail investment community. He is a billionaire at the hands of WE THE PEOPLE. It is time for those that enforce rules to ENFORCE RULES.

FINRA must require proper reporting of short interest by institutions, for too long have they been able to provide inaccurate self-reported misinformation(see SEC for historical offences of mislabeling Short positions as long) without oversight to push down stock values of companies. To maintain confidence in the market, this will be necessary as global interest will leave the US capital markets if we continue to allow a small group of oligarchs to manipulate stock values at their leisure.

I believe in more significant penalties and stricter timeliness for FTDs. The rules are so tight for retail investors but the market makers, brokers, large funds, etc. receive so much leeway. A retail trader should have even opportunities as it pertains to data as well. I believe these rule changes will assist with bringing better information to all. Thank you.

First of all- Proverbs 13:22 says that the sinners wealth is stored up for the godly. And good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren! I fully believe that the Lord is bringing about a great transfer of wealth thru many means and avenues not just the stock market. I've seen Him (the Lord) use real estate and my husband and I were beneficiaries of that a few times. All that being said it is SO obviously to almost everyone who is paying attention and probably voted for Pres. Trump that the system is rigged against the average American.

We retail investors dont want more propaganda shoved down out throats. We know the risks the problem is institutional investors [REDACTED]. Quit trying to take out the little investor and if you really wanna help remove the day trading rule. [REDACTED] LEAVE RETAIL TRADERS ALONE!!!!!!!

Remove market makers status from all institutions as this seems to be a direct conflict of interest. Ensure that short positions are monitored and reported daily. Prosecute market manipulators including those that pay main stream media and ensure that this also comes with jail time. Make FTDS are a thing of the past. Ensure that short positions cannot be hidden multiple ways as they are now! Make so called free brokers to be honest about the costs. Sort out the payment order flow. Make the market a lot more transparent and gain back its credibility!

We want better short sell reporting, end of day settlements, better short sell marking of shares, much stronger penalties or jail time for short sell violations, and market manipulation. Stop allowing retail investors to get ripped off and bullied. Things like dark pools, naked shorting, and general lack of transparency makes retail investors lose confidence in the market as a whole.

I would love to have more transparency with companies taking short positions so that we can have somewhat of a level playing field. Maybe require companies to report short positions.
