Would like rules to be changed so shorts wouod have to report more frequently.

I think it's only fair that short positions are reported on the daily. We live in the information age and I don't see any reason for information to be delayed. This would make it fair for all players in the market. Thank you

We just want a fair market. Short sellers have been doing illegal practices and the SEC just sits around and does nothing. These big hedge funds manipulation the market daily to make billions on short selling. No one should be allowed to short sell a company to bankruptcy. All retail investor want is a fair market and for the SEC to enforce the rules and stop laying over for big banks,hedge funds, and market makers.

Track each share purchased with a universal number or identifier. Shorting a share must have a high collateral requirement which should be verified. Every order should be delivered T+2 or fails mean huge penalty. Every short position should be updated with FINRA daily.

Money is being frequently stolen and manipulated away from common retail investors

Market makers and brokers who hold short positions should be completely transparent about those positions for the public good. Individial short interest in a given security should absolutely be reported up and made available for public consumption in aggregate. The lack of transparency and potential for naked short sellers to completely destroy an otherwise healthy company. If any company can be shorted up to or more than 100% of their outstanding shares, that seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

"Fines" = "hush money". Put the illegal shorters in jail SOON! Stop building your evidence because it's already been done for you via Overstock.com via gamestop via New Mexico vs. Banks. If the policies are preventing prosecution, put a vote to change them. Not next election, TODAY! This conflict of interest happening with your revolving door has got to stop TODAY! These illegal shorts have cost people their lives and their families livelihoods.

Violations should be higher, much higher. This ways future violations will be avoided. It just does not fit into my head that some institutions get a penalty of $10,000 for a violation when they made millions committing the violation??? They are going to do it again and again. This is one of the reasons why I am considering never coming back to invest in the stock market. The stock prices are affected by the malpractice of the wrong doers and all they get is a slap on the hand. And I dont think im the only that thinks like this.

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.

Fair Play. I don’t think a hedge fund should be involve in market maker ( conflict of interest) . Privilege to have first hand information. Short positions must be disclosed. Media should be regulated, they are not financial advisor. They can’t tell people what to buy or what to forget. And the most important. Laws and rules must be followed. Institutions must act accordingly , the employees of these institutions must enforce the rules without looking at whom. We are tired of the collusion in the system, it’s so obvious and must end now.
