We as retail investors need to know what is going on in the dark pool. Also, we need to know which institute has what short and the action they took can cause the short effect.

The market rules need an overhaul. Penalties for failure to return shares should be steeper base on how much you're shorting. If someone shorting a stock for 100k, a ten thousand dollars fine seems reasonable. But if I'm shorting the stock by millions or billions they shouldn't be paying 10k for breaking the rules.. matter of fact they should not be breaking the rules in the first place, but at this point they are abusing the rules and apes are aware of all the rules and trickery and we are watching the regulatory bodies.

Do your job. There is zero transparency in the market. Current rules and regulations either aren't being enforced, or are too difficult to enforce due to secretive trading. Naked shorts are still happening, end dark pools, start looking out for the retail investor.

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

Hi. remove the loop to ftd plus naked reset on propose for ever https://theintercept.com/2016/09/24/naked-shorts-cant-stay-naked-forever/

Dear mod I’m a full time trader since 2015! I experienced allots of good company stock destroyed by short seller. So many of investors are in the road because of then and some of them wait years but shorts never cover their positions! I really want finra to change this system as soon as possible. I’m sure this will help the regulator investor ( thank you )

Daily short reporting. None of this every 15 days. Also eliminate this T+2 reporting nonsense so others can naked short in the days between. No more illegal malarky. How about any purchased stocks (which can be used now for short ladder attacks) are forced towards covering shorts? Until all shorts are covered by short seller... all purchased stocks can't be sold, they have to be routed to the borrowing party to cover. Forced cover with any stock purchase.

I t hink the current vagueries of the short market are an absolute disaster. We need precision and accuracy to determine reasonable market moves- something in this "self-regulating" market, we simply dont have. Too many companies fail to disclose or accurately disclose their short positions, and simply pay the fine later after theyve made their money on the backs of those who couldnt see the danger. I wouldnt settle for anything less than 100% short position disclosure, with jailtime, not fines, for those that fail to do so.

The additional transparency and short interest reporting rules that FINRA is proposing are a welcome start. All short interest reporting should be made available to the public for 2 reasons. First, this information directly impacts all investors. Second, it is clear that there is no way possible for FINRA, SEC or any other regulator to police the markets. By making all reported short interest information public will lead to a more transparent and therefore a more fair market.

Please investigate criminal activity such as naked shorting dark pool dumps into any hedge funds that are illegally affecting a market of any given stock.
