All FTD's should be reported daily and all self regulation should stop. All FTD's should be defined in a T1 and settled in a T2. All short positions should be identified publicly. All naked shorts should be excluded and settled with FTD settlements. All fines for violations should be on a per share basis. No more speeding tickets where the fine is cheaper than the position. Let the violators actually go to court or settle for massive fines. Self regulation rules should now be enforced by the regulating bodies.

Greetings, I eagerly support FINRA's step toward a transparent system. I also ask that synthetic long positions generated through reverse conversion of options be tracked as well, it appears there's a direct correlation between that number increasing and FTDs decreasing.

There needs to be accurate, timely, and mandatory reporting guidelines around short interest. Accurate and timely would be the important part for the individual investors. The mandatory reporting would be for institutional investing. There are currently too many ways to misrepresent and obfuscate actual short interest information.

Short positions should have to report ALL accurate and up to date data. The amount of shares they have shorted. There should also be a T+0 system implace. It is not fair to the average investor (retail) that these major companies Like Citadel, can know in advance what is going on, compared to retail investors having a T+2 system. Equality in the stock market is what we should have. The naked shorting, over leveraged positions, etc. NEED to be investigated on securities such as $AMC, $GME, $BB, $SPCE, and many more. Make our market fair and equal.

Need better eyes on massive shorted stocks regulations blocking naked shares and a sec representative mandatory at every hedge fund Corporation. From what I'm seeing you guys are either paid off or don't know what the [REDACTED] you're looking for. Billions of dollars being stolen from retail investors for more years than you can count on your fingers and nobody has done squat to prevent this you one of my comment here it is.

Hello - thank you for addressing this and making it a priority. I am primarily invested in AMC but also have shares in other shorted stocks like GME and NAKD. The pricing is being manipulated by market makers and hedge funds in and out of dark pools. Based on what we know as fact, they should have had margin calls multiple times but skirt the rules to push the proverbial can down the road. The manipulation is exacerbated by their friends in the media, notably Jim Cramer with CNBC. Please review his Twitter timeline on the days that AMC and GME were attacked.

Shorts need to be forced to cover, especially when there's such blatant market manipulation and possibility of naked shorting

Please check on AMC ASAP

It is unfortunate that the system must be an "US vs THEM" system, especially when they don't have to play by the same rules that we, the little guy, the 99%, the "dumb money", the "retail investor, has to follow. Things I would like to see changed: -- There needs to be more transparency. We need to be able to see the shorts. We need to see the FTDs. Short positions need daily reporting daily in a public accessible space so investors can see this without having to pay for the "privilege" of playing a fair game. -- Why do we have "dark pools". Why is this even a thing?

I have no problem with shorting a stock. I do believe that is healthy for the market. I’d like to see naked short selling have much more severe penalties. Penalties that would make institutions think twice about doing it. Naked short selling is killing retail and leaving a huge black eye on our beautiful capitalist economy. It’s no secret that it’s done, it’s done on such a massive scale that I can’t imagine the huge effort it will take to clean it up. Please fix this problem so our overall economy will not suffer more than it already is. Sincerely Richard Quick
