I believe in more significant penalties and stricter timeliness for FTDs. The rules are so tight for retail investors but the market makers, brokers, large funds, etc. receive so much leeway. A retail trader should have even opportunities as it pertains to data as well. I believe these rule changes will assist with bringing better information to all. Thank you.

First of all- Proverbs 13:22 says that the sinners wealth is stored up for the godly. And good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren! I fully believe that the Lord is bringing about a great transfer of wealth thru many means and avenues not just the stock market. I've seen Him (the Lord) use real estate and my husband and I were beneficiaries of that a few times. All that being said it is SO obviously to almost everyone who is paying attention and probably voted for Pres. Trump that the system is rigged against the average American.

We retail investors dont want more propaganda shoved down out throats. We know the risks the problem is institutional investors [REDACTED]. Quit trying to take out the little investor and if you really wanna help remove the day trading rule. [REDACTED] LEAVE RETAIL TRADERS ALONE!!!!!!!

Remove market makers status from all institutions as this seems to be a direct conflict of interest. Ensure that short positions are monitored and reported daily. Prosecute market manipulators including those that pay main stream media and ensure that this also comes with jail time. Make FTDS are a thing of the past. Ensure that short positions cannot be hidden multiple ways as they are now! Make so called free brokers to be honest about the costs. Sort out the payment order flow. Make the market a lot more transparent and gain back its credibility!

We want better short sell reporting, end of day settlements, better short sell marking of shares, much stronger penalties or jail time for short sell violations, and market manipulation. Stop allowing retail investors to get ripped off and bullied. Things like dark pools, naked shorting, and general lack of transparency makes retail investors lose confidence in the market as a whole.

I would love to have more transparency with companies taking short positions so that we can have somewhat of a level playing field. Maybe require companies to report short positions.

We would like to see more transparency in the market. Retail investors are not privy to everything the hedge funds are. We cannot trade in pre market or after hours. There are rules in place, and we would like to see the SEC, DTCC, Et al to enforce those rules.

We would love to see short sale institutional/hedge fund data be reported just as the regulations require long positions 13F filings in order to file and finalize a purchase. Currently we have an issue where naked shorts have been created in several stocks across the market, but could be better regulated by requiring such filing so be submitted before large scale institutional short positions are created that damage healthy companies and rob them for the fair chance to be successful.

Naked shorts is illegal and fines don’t work. If a regular person goes to jail for illegal activities so should rich people. If you’re reading this you’re a regular person.
