Ryan King Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

I have attempted to read and understand the proposed rule changes set forth in these reporting enhancements on the topic of Short Interest Positions. I would like to make sure that my voice is heard as a full supporter of these rule changes! The reporting changes contained in these enhancements are critical to not only have them PASSED but also to have them 100% enforced. The amount of manipulation within the larger entities of the markets and the use of synthetic shares to try to drive retail buyers out of the market is down right criminal.

1. Disclosures of short positions by institutions and hedge funds on a shorter time window (preferably daily) 2. Much heftier fines for participating in the illegal practice of naked shorting 3. More regulations of dark pools and the creation of synthetics shares 4. Daily reports on margin and those who are over leveraged in a short position 5. More up to date reporting and transparency in regards to short selling

I simply want an open, free market for trade and investment. It is not, and entities such as the SEC and FINRA allow it to be in the favor of hedgefunds and investment firms with large amounts of capital. Everyone should have to trade the same way, on the open market, under the same terms. Same time for the act of sale to transact. Shorting companies shoud be heavily regulated and absolutely have a share behind the position. Naked shorting is the same as counterfeit money. MY GOVERNMENT IS ALLOWING ME TO BE ROBBED, IN PLAIN SIGHT. IT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED.

Short interest reporting by all of these entities should have complete transparency. Failures to report on possible FTD’s, never delivering those shares or marking short positions as long should result in repercussions equal to the actions. Small fines or as they can be referred “the cost of doing business” for some of these funds or entities are unacceptable. Reporting should be even more frequent as streamline the process of collecting accurate data.
