Hedge funds used obfuscation and blatant disregard for the rules to extract capital from retail. This became blatantly obvious with the manipulation throughout the last year. I am asking for more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports. Increased enforcement of the current rules against naked short selling is a given.

I have spent thousands of hours reading, researching, and investigating all of the ins and outs of the markets for many years. Never have I ever seen as much blatant manipulation as we do now by certain short sellers. The media articles. The dark pool trading. Short sellers MUST BE INVESTIGATED. They're hiding the manipulation in broad daylight. And it's cost me thousands of settled losses, and hundreds of thousands in unrealized gains to become worthless. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL FIGHT BACK. You must make the market fair.....

I am new to retail investing/trading but what I’ve witness with GME and AMC really opened my eyes to how corrupt and fixed the markets are. The mainstream media I used previously to help make decisions, has been 100% controlled to influence retail investors in a pure evil way. This is about as easy as it gets to see the manipulation. This manipulation is throughout the entire process with naked short selling and failure to delivers to be the main levers to control price. It is so blatant and obvious that everyone is numb to it. Even when it’s known, there are many ways to hide it.

I think it's amazing that you guys at FINRA .really do know the actual short numbers on AMC ent ..naked shorts by the billions also fake reported intrest% darkpool trading FTDs almost 5months behind etc etc...how about you guys expose the BS And stop being complicit

T-Evening on positions. T-2 makes no sense for the average joe that trades. Times have changed yet Finra has not adapted. All hedge funds should legally have to make their positions public, especially if a short position.

It should be a requirement for institutions to disclose short positions just as it is for long positions.

What professionals get away with is criminal at worst and a rigged game at best. Shame on the regulators and organizations who let it happen.

1. Open institutional short positions should be disclosed after the end of every market close. 2. Shares in an institutional short position should be serialized in order to attempt to prevent rehypothication and to confirm the shares exist. 3. Failure to delivers should be disclosed within 1 day after the settlement date. 4. The penalty for not reporting information on open short positions or failure to delivers on time should be 15% of the short position, plus an additional 5% for everyday the information is not submitted. Thanks

Hello FINRA, I saw you are looking for comments on 21-19, regarding short positions. As I see it, the current US market is full of nothing but fraud, with the regulatory agencies being complicit. They are complicit through their complacency, with years of unchecked fraud and market manipulation through naked short selling by large hedgefunds like Citadel and Susquehana being allowed to happen with impunity.The SEC and FINRA have known about this illegal counterfeiting practice for many years, with nothing being done to rectify the illegality of the market conditions.

Hello, As you know the Stocks GME/AMC are being extremly shorted to a point where the Share price is being manipulated by Hedge Fonds. Today Dark pool trading for Amc reached 60%. These tatics are used to Short the stock extremly, we also call this method short laddder attacks and it's highly illeagel. SO please do your jobs and watch Hedge Fonds like Citadeal closely
