Make short selling more transparent (e.g daily data). Participants have to file in the long positions, but not the shorts, why? Disallow "data manipulation" by fake covering with worthless deep OTM options. Remove loopholes based on T+2 settlement. Why even T+2? Make it T+0 already. Why allow shorting of stocks on the security threshold list by short excempt? It seems not appropriate to give a broker that kind of decision. Short selling right now is biased to spexific market participants, giving them huge advantages over retail. This is not a fair market.

Please do something about the illegal marking shorts as longs, prime brokers conspiring with hedgefunds, dark pool abuse, naked shorting, and tranperancy. Stop allowing hedgefunds to abuse shorts and only get a small fine if caught. Serious penalty or jail time for illegality should b considered if u wish fo uphold rule of law

Amc is being manipulated by ftds, dark pool trading, bond melting , being on the threshold lost from these illegal moves made by hedge funds (citadel). SSR has been issued multiple times to amc in the last month but continually the interest continues to rise and the short position continues to not be covered. Please look into this unbiased.

In a fair and free market there should be absolute transparency. The number of shares shorted should be available in real time, during trading hours. No more dark pool trading. Every single share sold should be reported and able to be located at any time. Market manipulation is rampant and hurting retail investors. Naked shorting and FTDs should carry heavier penalties, always more than the profits gained, and be forced to close out their positions much sooner or face total trading restrictions.

Hedge funds selling synthetic shares should be scrutinized and rules should be such that the naked shorting or synthetic shares should be made unavailable.

To whom it may concern, I feel that things could go better if rules which are passed are enforced. Shorts and naked shorts should be closed and not covered because they(hedge funds with short positions) just use illegal ways for covering. Using the rules to over manipulate a stock (AMC, GME) isn't fair market and harsher punishment should be the consequences. Jail time, fines which start in $500 millions, bared from short selling or trading, taking away their license.

Quite simply: Laws are created and should be enforced. However, as we can see these consumer protections are not protecting consumers. Violators have little oversight and minimal fees. Allowing transparency allows the market participants to voice their concerns over illegal practices taking place which creates accountability. Market participants can live with a loss, they can not live when they are being cheated and the regulators are not enforcing the laws, preventing illegal activities, or creating penalties that do not compensate those immediately affected. Markets should be efficient.

We have all seen and currently see the manipulation going on today. We, the people, need TRANSPARENCY in the market. What you have been doing obviously does not solve the situation. Fines are not enough as a consequence. I would like to see all short interest updated daily and data on dark pools need to be opened to public observation. Thank you for your time

You want the people to trust the government and believe that they have the peoples best interest, then do something about all the illegal stuff Wallstreet and hedge funds do. Stop the massive amounts of shorts they have. Stop them from shorting a company out of business. Do something about all the FTD'S. Really Stop the short ladder attacks that they use to deliberately drive the price down. Get rid of dark pools. Do something about all the synthetic shares. Actually enforce the rules. If the retail investors did any of these things we would be in prison. Stop with the slap on the wrists.

Make the market fair again. The market right now is for the rich, for the 1%. How does it suit together with the american values, like same opportunities for everyone, american dream. Many small people could change their life at the markets, but right now they just get molested and stolen from. The people are losing trust in your market from day to day more. MAKE SHORTS OBLIGATORY TO REPORT AND VISIBLE FOR EVERYONE! NO BACKROOM MARKETS ANYMORE POWER TO THE PEOPLE
