Neil Parker Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

Shorting is a fundamental part of the free market, but surely naked shorting of any kind be it physical stock, bonds etc should carry such a severe penalty that hedge funds thinks twice before going down that path. Hedge funds should be playing by the same rules as anyone investing in the markets, it should be free and transparent for all participants. The SEC has turned a blind eye for to long and retail investors have had enough.

Hello. I would like to see all short interest positions reported with a T+1. Transparency in the stock market is important and currently there is too much hidden from the general public. Please make the changes necessary for the public to believe in fairness in the stock market. Because currently, the general public believe it's heavily skewed towards those individuals/institutions with more money and resources. Thank you.

It is my opinion the markets should be as transparent and fair across all avenues. The lack of transparency and information tilts the scale away from the retail investor and in turn causes distrust towards further involvement. Short information should be required to be disclosed to accurately guage the status and balance of a trade, and to rule out any potential foul play or bad actors.

For a market to be free and fair all information on a tradeable asset must be disclosed. These updated rules protect all parties but particularly retail investors like myself who do not have access to the same data set as large firms. I support these rule changes, a more transparent market would benefit current investors and protect the confidence of future investors in the US stock market.

It is completely demoralizing as a retail investor to see what goes on with the stock market manipulation via shorting, off-exchange trading, and lack of reporting on short positions. The market is only fair if you have enough money to play. The fact that institutions can trade off exchange, use a million different tactics to short a stock (especially high frequency trading), and get fined repeatedly without any real repercussions creates a massive problem within our market.
