While the rules being put into play this year are good in essence, it doesn't do any good of they are not enforced. That being said, with all of the research and exposing retail investors have done over the last 7 months, it is very clear to the world that the "free" market does not exist. It seems, though lack of transparency and lack of action, that FINRA, the SEC, and all other market regulators are working in cahoots with hedge funds and market makers for profit. The retail investor is not protected in any scope of the word.

Yes way more reporting and enforcement. Clear manipulation of the market by shorts not reporting.

Every institution should have to report their short position(s) immediately and be made public. The time is takes for market makers to cover failure to delivers on the thresh hold list needs to be reduced from 13 days to 3 days. All failure to delivers should be reported T+2 days. The penalty for creating synthetic shares should be the same as creating counterfeit fiat. Fines for market manipulation should be equitable to said profits made by manipulation. High frequency trading should be illegal.

SSR doesn't work when market makers such as Citadel Securities can still mark a short exempt. Short exempt is supposed to be an exception but every time $amc is on SSR the counts of short exempts is extremely high. Citadel's hedge fund profits from their market maker's ability to short during SSR as do the options contracts held by Citadel Securities. This is an unfair competitive advantage and similar to insider trading. Also there is no real punishment for violation of the uptick rule during SSR.

I would like to See ALL Data daily regarding short positions. How is it that high frequency trading can be programmed to carry out millions upon millions of short transactions daily, but not able to simply submit data regarding those positions. They should be submitted daily along with darkpool positions. Transparency needs to become 100% as this will also help keep markets more honest because after learning and examine data over the last six months it is frightening how corrupted the financial markets truly are.

Please, as an Investor in the US markets I never understod how much manipulation there is. I invest my money and get robed by the unorthodox ways of manipulating the markets by the big market makers and hedgefunds. They short stocks til infinity Buying and selling thru dark pools and of the books trying to fix the price and leaving retail investors BLEEDING right before the eyes of the SEC and FINRA that are supposed to look after every part in the markets.. They should not be able to short beyond their capacity. The Synthetic shorts need to be discoverd as soon as possible.

As a retail investor it would be nice to see increased transparency from financial institutions. No more naked shorts, or at least increased naked short share exposure, decreased use of Dark Pool trading, required reporting from every institution on their positions (short and long) to organizations such as FINRA or Ortex etc, and forced coverage of FTDs when they are due. All of these are completely obtainable.

The illegal [REDACTED] thats happening is appalling. How can you guys not open your eyes and see this? DO YOUR JOB!!!!!

Data transparency is the hallmark of reliability, responsibility, and accountability. As such, all information about short sale positions, short interest, etc. should be publicly and freely available in real time immediately. Failing that, as soon as possible - which, given the electronic nature of these transactions, ought to be virtually immediately. Anything less increases corruption, collusion, and financial treason.

Stop charging small fines to hedge funds manipulating the stock market. They break the federal laws, knowing that you, FINRA, SEC and DTCC will just give them a pat-on-the-back. All of the recent actions we've seen you, FINRA, the SEC and DTCC taken as of recent points to collusion with Market Makers, and hedge funds. It's the very reason why the children of the FBI and CIA have convinced our family members to look into all 3 said (including you, a.k.a FINRA) practices. We know the corruption now, the world can see it and we won't stop seeking justice. We won the bet and saved AMC and GME.
