As a Country, we've lost confidence in the free market of the United States of America. My suggestions would be: T-0 real time settlement FTD's forced to deliver per the regulations Enforcement of illegal naked shorts that have decimated retail's portfolios for decades. Increased scrutiny of dark pools (some of these stocks are being traded 60% in dark pools) Elimination of being able to mark shorts as exempt when SSR rules are in place

Hello, I will keep my comment brief. I am a $XXX,XXX.XX retail investor that humbly supports any and proposed measures to improve transparency and data accuracy for retail investors. While the term “free market” is a farce, I do believe we should have a fair market which currently we do not. Institutional shorting data is horribly unreported given the 2 week delay in reporting in addition to its complete lack of required filing on the 13-F. Thank you for your time and effort to allow retail investors a chance to make informed decisions about their investments.

When a fail to delivers occur the firm who failed to deliver should be suspended from trading until covered. It would be harsher than the small million dollar fines that most firms scoff at.

You need to stop the endless cycles of Fails to Deliver (FTD). Force institutions to settle their positions. Otherwise they can hide all their naked positions forever until they bankrupt their targeted company. Enough is enough. Stop the endless FTD cycle.

More transparecy, honest and accurate data, daily. Things i cant believe we have to ask for!

We want more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports. The entire market is rigged. Authorities are not doing their job. The public think they are on the side of the hedge funds who have created all these problems and taken advantage of this broken system for decades.

Short positions need to be clearly marked as short and need to be closed within 15 days of initial position. FTDs. should be closed within 15 days.

We need more transparency in the market! No more dark pools. accurate information for everyone including three retail investor. We also need sailors to delivers to happen sooner. We need to crack down on synthetic shorts and unreported information (make the fines bigger) it’s like fraud!

The reporting requirements of short interest and short positions has long been due for reform. Running rampant in the market has been illegal market manipulation of stock prices utilizing failures of short reporting, specifically regarding short-exempt shares, naked short-selling, short positions being reported as long positions, hiding failure-to-delivers inside of far out-of-the-money puts/calls, among other failures of accurate reporting and tracking.

I feel that the current system of allowing Hedge funds, and wealthy investors to run rampant on Wall Street shorting stocks into oblivion only to slight the retail investor. Overleveraging themselves into positions based on pride and ego and then expecting the American Taxpayer to foot the bill when they go bankrupt and lose people's retirement and 401k is absolutely appalling. Selling something and failing to produce it to the purchaser is called theft. FTDs should be forced to settle immediately. And T+ anything over Zero is rediculous.
