Hello! I would love to have more transparency when it comes to data reporting for stocks. It is hard to make informed decisions with the T+2 settlement dates for short interest, and certain numbers don't update for other a month. Would also like to see more done about naked shorting and synthetic shares so retail investors have the whole picture when investing their money.

prison time for failure to delivers, ACTUAL penalties for naked short selling. Average American citizen fails to pay two credit card bills and goes to collection... repossession large market makers can just take the fine and continue not fulfilling their contracts to their customers. STOP MAKING FINES A COST OF BUSINESS AND ACT NOW TO STOP FINANCIAL TERRORISM

It needs to be more transparent. What is happening with dark pools is unacceptable. There is corruption running rampant throughout the entire market and it's going to make investors lose faith and pull their money out. Shorting needs to be investigated by the SEC!

More frequent public reporting of short positions is needed, more detail in public reports, and more transparency for the retail investor. The markets have become a corrupt and lopsided playing field that caters to big money and leaves the retail investor at a decided disadvantage. Hedge funds play by a different set of rules, and then get slapped on the wrist for the kinds of illegal activities that have become commonplace, such as naked shorting. The retail investor has lost confidence in (and respect for) a system that now needs an overhaul to clean up the corruption.

NAKED SHORTS!! SHORTS SELLING!! BORROWED SHARES!! SYNTHETIC SHARES!! I request daily MARGIN Calls on all shorts at open and close of each trading day !!

A breakdown per market maker of short positions as well. More transparency of, or doing away with, dark pool transactions. When stocks are going 50+% through dps on a daily basis, that is not in keeping with the purpose. Short positions vs percentage of capital for accounts. A daily, dedicated transcript of increase/decrease per shorts/float.

I recently became interest in investing. I am self employed with no retirement. I am afraid to put money in because I feel like large market maker hedge funds have an advantage by controlling the market. It is obvious that they trade in dark pools to drive the price down, short viable businesses into bankruptcy by making up millions of shares, while controlling the media. It’s pathetic, I have to wonder why it has come to this, billions and billions stolen from the people. Limiting short selling to a % of a security and making sure the securities are delivered makes most sense.

Please regulate the manipulation of our free market system. Companies should not be able to bypass rules set in place following 2008 or we risk another black swan event and lack of trust in our financial system.

As a hard working retail investor, I’m demanding transparency and accountability for the market makers. I want better tracking of short selling, restricted use of dark pools and t-1 clearing of transactions. I’m tired of seeing HFT’s scalp the profit off the market every morning.

If the bower of shares won’t cover their obligations they should have to pay the full amount immediately with interest, no if’s, and, or but.
