Stephen Deane Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

I don't think the regular American shareholder can take much more of Wall Street's shenanigans. I want to participate in the market but it is apparently rigged against me. I make 50k/yr on salary actually working for a living and Wall Street tycoons and bosses want to take every last nickel I have! These people are already wealthy but it's just not enough??? This is not how it's supposed to work. I want a fair shot. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Thank you.

Short positions should have to be reported immediately upon hitting the threshold list. Which as you know means FTD's are running rampant, they should be forced to cover in entirety to discourage institutions from dragging out their mistakes if they've had enough days consistently to reach the list. This would have saved them billions to date. Also Prime brokers should be required to report naked shorts immediately, because well they're illegal for starters. So maybe instead, we should actually enforce that law MUCH stricter because we all know most FTD's are naked shorts.

All short selling including naked short sell needs to be reported daily and monitoring must be in place to prevent abuses from market manipulators. Also dark pools of stocks must also be reported and regulated and the failure to deliver crisis must be resolved and those shares must be bought. Supply and demand is a basic principle of are democracy and should be reflected in pricing from stocks to housing market and any goods that are sold. Please resolve this transparency problem and make the stock market fair for everyone and stop market manipulation.

Short positions should be force closed on failure to deliver. The ability to cover a failed delivery with options or collateral does not excuse that an investor is actually stolen from with a failure to deliver. Also of concern, the "can kicking" through synthetic share production by means of options contracts. No one should be allowed to have 400 million put contracts on the books. Is this not the same as saying they are purchasing the right to sell 4 billion shares? What if that number of shares doesn't exist for the company? How is there not oversight of this?
