I understand that short selling is viewed as important to the health of the stock market; however, when it is used to maliciously attack retail investors, it should in no way be legal. The existence of naked short selling remains a recurrent problem for many stocks, AMC and GME being two of the most notorious. If there is even the possibility of naked shorting, shorting should immediately be disallowed until the naked shorts are found and covered or the existence of naked shorts in the float of the stock is disproved.

Disclosure of short positions. This should be the same as ownership of stocks.

Accurate short sale tracking is obviously important, but it’s only as useful as the information given on dark pool activities. Dark pool existence, and how those exchanges are able to integrate shares into major exchanges is beyond fraudulent. I appreciate your efforts, but share selling will never be put into check until dark pools are eliminated.

Do something about this !!!!

I want to see more fairness in the market. I want the T-2 system abolished. I want more accurate reporting of any/all trading. I want the big corporations to back off the little guy.

I think none of the rule are being put in place are followed by hedge funds,payment for Oder flow should be ban, short selling should be cut to a minimum,the threshold list they’re not following,these people makes the market look bad we as retail investors see all the manipulation and are tried of it now what are the regulators are going to do about it.

Hi, I don’t know if this will reach anyone or go anywhere but voices need to be heard so I’m here to put mine in. Truth be told most Americans are realizing the stock market which is supposed to be a fair free market is rigged against us smaller fish. This has led many many many investors to obviously pull out money or join the so called “meme stocks” to put it against the big guys who laugh at us because they are the 1%ers. The market needs to be more transparent and obviously not as heavily manipulated with naked shorting.

In order to achieve a true “ free market” system, retail traders must be provided with total transparency. There are seemingly endless ways for institutions and hedge funds to have the advantage, whether it be access to data, rule loopholes, or seemingly smoke and mirror processes. SSR is a total fabrication, as there are countless ways to achieve shorting while the ruling is in place. It is readily apparent that the market is completely rigged against the retail investor. Once that credibility is gone, many retail traders will never enter this market again, myself included.

Regarding the stocks $AMC and $GME: There must be more transparency about short positions. There should be no self reported data from any entity, there must be a third party overseer. The loop holes regarding short positions and failed to deliver shares (FTD’s) need to be closed. These positions should be made to be paid out and the idea that hedge funds can hide positions in OTM positions or paying a small fine in comparison to the loss is absurd. The fine should be a large penalty or percentage of their position on a security.

Please introduce all of the key points stated in your statement. It is vital that retail investors have access to the same information and data as institutional investors. Especially when it comes to short interest data and number of failure to delivers which have a huge effect on share price. Thank you.
