FINRA should have more transparency in short positions and made accessible to investors. All 6 proposed changes are an excellent start.

1) Disclosure for short positions 2)Get rid of dark pools 3) Real penalties for hedge funds breaking the law. A small fine does not stop them from breaking the law when they make billions on the crime and get fined thousands.

1) Market maker cannot run their hedge funds : They have huge conflict of interest in their actions as market maker. 2) Mandatory short interest and long interest on weekly basis 3)US to adopt a settlement discipline regime (like EU's CSDR), which would reverse failed trades and suspend market participants who repeatedly fail to deliver shares sold 4) Acting on current rules diligently. 5) Holding short seller accountable for market manipulations and reimbursing those who lost their money due to these illegal activities .

We need more frequent and accurate reporting!

As a Country, we've lost confidence in the free market of the United States of America. My suggestions would be: T-0 real time settlement FTD's forced to deliver per the regulations Enforcement of illegal naked shorts that have decimated retail's portfolios for decades. Increased scrutiny of dark pools (some of these stocks are being traded 60% in dark pools) Elimination of being able to mark shorts as exempt when SSR rules are in place

Hello, I will keep my comment brief. I am a $XXX,XXX.XX retail investor that humbly supports any and proposed measures to improve transparency and data accuracy for retail investors. While the term “free market” is a farce, I do believe we should have a fair market which currently we do not. Institutional shorting data is horribly unreported given the 2 week delay in reporting in addition to its complete lack of required filing on the 13-F. Thank you for your time and effort to allow retail investors a chance to make informed decisions about their investments.

When a fail to delivers occur the firm who failed to deliver should be suspended from trading until covered. It would be harsher than the small million dollar fines that most firms scoff at.

You need to stop the endless cycles of Fails to Deliver (FTD). Force institutions to settle their positions. Otherwise they can hide all their naked positions forever until they bankrupt their targeted company. Enough is enough. Stop the endless FTD cycle.

More transparecy, honest and accurate data, daily. Things i cant believe we have to ask for!

We want more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports. The entire market is rigged. Authorities are not doing their job. The public think they are on the side of the hedge funds who have created all these problems and taken advantage of this broken system for decades.
