Leonard Anthony Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

The shorting that takes place in the dark pool should either 1- be eliminated 2- be reported for all to see, or 3- be regulated so that a company cannot trade 50% to 60% of a stock in the dark pool. And if a company has a certain amount of time to cover their short positions, that should be enforced. Not a small fine for missing deadlines. That is how the manipulation continues. SSR should also be inforced for any stock being shorted. That had clearly not been the case with AMC.

Ed Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

When companies are fined millions for breaking rules that netted them billions, there is no reason to not break those rules. Naked Shorting is predatory upon companies and investors alike. Make the penalty greater than the theft. Along with potential criminal referrals. This is only way to clean up the marketplace. It's gone on far too long. While 70 million to average people sounds extreme, it's a slap on the wrist to a company that literally steals 100's of millions from investors from their criminal like actions.
