While appreciative of the gesture, there must be action behind it. We are in a new era of retail investing and the rules still favor the Goliath's of wall street. Complete transparency and equality in the reporting of data must be enforced. Retail should have the same access to information, data and tools that hedge funds and market makers have access to. More importantly, ACCOUNTABILITY for manipulation, illegal trading practices, and hiding of information must be enforced.

I would like more transparency in regards to short interest and naked shorting of stocks. Trading is rigged against retail investors and all I want to see is a level playing field. Thank you.

We want transparency and no dark pools

It is my opinion that short sales and short interest should be reported at end of trading day and not delayed by 14 days.

I believe this is a great idea to add transparency to the market place, and to add more TRUST to the market as well.

Thank you for this opportunity to send in a comments and for taking the time to consider the requests. It would be nice if the public reporting of short positions was increased and if there was more detail in the public reports.

I want much more transparency in the market, especially when it comes to buy/sell orders in ATS. All information market makers have when it comes to filing for a short position should be just as accessible to retail traders. Lastly, short positions buys/sell should be disclosed the day of filing. No more T+ nonsense. Thank you kindly, I hope this helps.

We need a fair and transparent market! Naked shorting has to STOP! The market is heavy manipulated. The SEC NEEDS TO DO THIER JOB. Dark pool trading is unfair. Thank you.

As much short related info as possible. The playing field is not level. Some people use shorting maliciously and without more info it’s not only unfair but illegal. Fines are just pennies to them. They willfully break the law make tons and pay the fines from the a small percentage of their profits.

The retail trader is currently at a huge disadvantage with seemingly insurmountable odds stacked against them. There needs to be full transparency in the markets regarding, short interest reporting, synthetic reporting, dark trading data, retail brokers selling to dark pool data, etc.. There should also be full enforcement of current rules in place and much higher fines for breaking the established rules such as SSR and FTD's. The manipulation currently in the market is at truly corrupt and disgusting level. Changes to provide a fair opportunity for all should be the goal. Thank You
