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

This really sounds like it will do nothing. This comment period is insulting, as if you don’t know what retail wants. Transparency and actually enforce the “rules” you have, which seem more like guidelines. Rule breakers make a billion and get fined a million, how does this help?

Retail is the backbone of the economy. We're always given the worst odds and being beaten down. With that they're beating down the US and world economy. It is the responsibility of those in power to make a change to level the playing field. If you raise up retail, we'll raise up the economy. Short sellers are killing jobs, robbing peoples futures and killing the economy so they can hoard wealth and make the FED print more money they can scoop up. Kill the economy and get more money to hoard.

Yes please, it will make trading more fair.

Hi I believe that short selling of any kind is bad, while showing more data is a positive step. Shorting still has too much scope for bad practice. There’s a conflict of interests as soon as a party shorts a company. Too many of the main players in today’s market have ties in all areas of the market. Allowing them to manipulate and drive theses companies further down to there benefit. I could delve deeper into issues surrounding shorting but I’m sure everyone is well aware what goes on, unless there blind. Far too many companies have been pushed off a cliff by this unnecessary practice.

I agree with everything there 100% needs to be more transparency in the stock market. I believe reporting should be done daily so that it will be harder for someone to try and hide or fake their positions since they won't have time. With all the money they make and High Frequency Trading these firms do they have no reason to say reporting daily is too hard or impossible.

The current price manipulation with AMC/GME et al has exposed the stock market corruption. All reporting agencies and SEC rules don’t make a difference in protecting the big money from the everyday average trader. It seems to me that the rules only apply to the small investor and protect big money instead. It’s all an incestuous relationship between the SEC, FINRA, DTCC and the like and the big money institutions. Employees play the financial system agency/hedge fund carrousel in order to continue the theft and manipulation.

We should be able to know what goes on in this insider trading with the but money. The stuff that goes in dark pools as well. All information should be accesible . How is this fair to the retail investor? Just Bc I have a certain amount of money or no money I’m robbed of what I work hard for and it’s never a fair game .

Funds need to report when they are short. Daily weekly monthly I do not care but it must be reported. If long positions and options need to be reported short positions should too. Beyond that any other positions should be reported. It is crazy what we all the rich elite to get away with. They make the rules and police themselves. So unfair, hence why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

While these increased reporting requirements around the currently broadly abused short selling practices in the stock market (including naked shorting, mis-reporting longs as shorts, re-hypothecated shares, married puts/calls, and fails to deliver) are a step in the right direction, the proposed changes do not go far enough to provide transparency and fairness to the public.
