Bryan Chalker Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

While it's nice to see this request from retail investors, good intentions pave roads to nowhere. What is initially needed: - enforcement of existing rules to stop naked shorting - enforcement of existing rules to stop FTDs - enforcement of existing rules to stop dark pool selling of retail orders - enforcement of existing rules to stop labeling shorts as "exempt" from SSR Once the enforcement of existing rules are in place, create new rules that...

The market is completely unbalanced when it comes to retail trading versus institutional trading. We need more transparency especially when it comes to institutions or hedge funds hiding their positions within the dark pools. They hide these positions and FTD's in the dark pool and through options trading. It is absolutely apparent there is naked shorting going on with certain stocks in the market such as GME and AMC. Finra should acknowledge this and do everything possible to alert the market on these manipulation tactics and frankly, referring to the naked shorting, crimes.

Hello all, I strongly believe that a huge step in the right direction would be to remove Market maker status from ALL institutions that either own or are a hedge fund themselves. (ex: Citadel ) The whole fact that a hedge fund or investment institution of any kind can be granted market maker status is wrong. It is an undeniable conflict of interest and the current market status is proof. My idea is to either remove the status/rank or dial back the privilege’s of market makers.

Have now studied the stock market and how groups like CITADEL have been absolutely stealing from the Global Investment Community while SEC/FINRA/LEGISLATORS/PRESIDENT are simply turning a blind eye to Naked Shorting/handling FTD's and being able to manipulate stock prices by using borrowed shares in DARK POOL TRADING. Ken Griffin needs to feel the pain that he has caused the world retail investment community. He is a billionaire at the hands of WE THE PEOPLE. It is time for those that enforce rules to ENFORCE RULES.

FINRA must require proper reporting of short interest by institutions, for too long have they been able to provide inaccurate self-reported misinformation(see SEC for historical offences of mislabeling Short positions as long) without oversight to push down stock values of companies. To maintain confidence in the market, this will be necessary as global interest will leave the US capital markets if we continue to allow a small group of oligarchs to manipulate stock values at their leisure.
