Kyle Pugh Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

These rules changes seem to be helpful except for the "alternatively" found all over the place. Make all these rules in effect, no alternatives. FINRA should get all the information possible about any financial activity and make as much as possible of that information public. The originator of a short position should be on the hook for the short position. Currently, if a market maker shorts a bunch of shares to a broker there is no way to know that. The broker is then on the hook for the shares to be delivered but the market maker already said they delivered the shares.

Artificially suppressing or increasing the price of a stock through a market that is unavailable to the retail trader is fundamentally unfair and should be terminated.

We need visibility into dark pools. 3. Darkpools should not account for 50% of trading within a day. 4. Synthetic shares should not be a thing. 5.
