I would like to see a more transparent market with instant short position reporting to the general public. I would also like to see instant reporting of any failure-to-delivers. I think this information should be public to any retail investor instantly and easily with no delays. I believe this will help limit manipulation and allow the market to be free and fair.

My comment on the rules is to actually enforce them. Honestly, take a look at obvious naked short selling and market manipulation. We the people have lost trust in a "free" market.

Every large institution, hedge fund or bank should have to report their short position(s) immediately and 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 5 days. All failure to delivers should be reported 3 days after a trading day. The penalty for creating synthetic shares should be the same as creating counterfeit fiat. Fines for market manipulation should equal profits made by said manipulation. High frequency trading should be abolished all together, it is used to manipulate stock prices.

I would like to see these changes implemented as soon as possible. Given the current state of the market and the illegal nature of naked shorting securities, this would be a breath of fresh air. Transparency is key to a fair market and as it currently stands, the market is all bit opaque to individual investors. In order to maintain the faith of individual investors I strongly believe it is imperative that these changes be implemented with all haste.
