Pierre Addo Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

I'd like to point out your "What We Do" section on your website. Many of retail investors are well aware that you actually do nothing at all in the grand scheme of things. You give out measly fines to make it appear like you're doing your job, when those same institutions that you fined made billions of dollars in profit. You may write rules, but you certainly do not enforce them. You do not foster market transparency. Not even in the slightest. However, you do educate us retail investors.

Hello, I would like to see more transparency and effective regulation (and enforcement) on Short Sale Reporting. As a retail investor, my confidence in our American stock market is very low and leaves me feeling cheated due to these "behind the scenes" loop holes that large corporations and institutions can utilize to benefit themselves through bending the rules through clever exploits and loopholes.

1) The current fines for illegal behavior is an absolute joke. If a HF gains $500 mil illegally and is only fined $250,000 that’s a joke of a fine. The fine should be equal to the amount that was illegally gained and possibly include jail time. Currently, its equivalent to a person robbing a bank for $100 mil and only getting a $5,000 fine and keeping the rest. Absurd! 2) Self reporting is an absolute joke as well. Good luck getting accurate numbers with that! Certain hedge funds have proven they will manipulate the numbers to their benefit.
