Yes. Yes. Yes. PLEASE follow through with all of these considerations. A Free and Fair market is what the US citizens expect, and this would be a huge step toward transparency in the markets. I believe this will help TRUST in the markets build in the minds and hearts of the average American.

I'd like to see the market have more transparency of shorts. In today's day and age, there should be 8-15 days to see a company's short percentage. The market information should be available to all investors no matter their size. Also, I feel that the "dark pool" system should be abolished. It too can possibly create uncertainty in the market. Thank you.

Sort this out so that the free market is a fair market

All short positions need to be reported hourly. Positions need to be report on open and close. Substantial fines, up to the cost of the underlying need to be levied against those improperly filing or not filing at all. This data should be available in full no later than end of business day.

Short positions should be reported daily. Any attempts by institutional investors to drive stock prices up/down (smear campaigns, fake DD, Spam/Ads) should result in fines that actually impact the guilty parties, not just a tiny percent of the profit from the illicit activities. There needs to be actual penalties for breaking the rules, or the so-called "free market" will ever truly exist and we'll never be on a level playing field. Naked shorting should be illegal. the ability to borrow shares exceeding the float is wrong.

I've been trying to make some extra side money in the stock market for my family for the past year of so. I started out in Robinhood but eventually switched to Fidelity for obvious reasons. What i've learned tho is that my chance at succeeding in the stock market are minimal, regardless of the amount of research i've done, or amount of personal money i've invested. The odds are stacked against me, dates for FTDs, options expiring ITM all seems meaningless if people aren't held accountable.

Why does a " dark " pool exist? We demand fairness and transparency in the stock market. How can we prevent " naked shorts " / synthetic shares? Why is there T + 2 when the market makers can see our trades instantly? This is NOT fair. There are RAMPANT FRAUD AND MANIPULATION.

We need more transparency for every short position so we can see the manipulation.

Short interest reporting enhancement is needed

We (retail investors) simply need to know more information on short positions on all available platforms - free or premium services alike. The information should also be as accurate and as current as possible with little to no delays for the entire market to participate fairly. Thank you.
