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. Stop allowing retail investors to get ripped off and bullied. Things like dark pools, naked shorting, and general lack of transparency makes retail investors lose confidence in the market as a whole.

I would love to have more transparency with companies taking short positions so that we can have somewhat of a level playing field. Maybe require companies to report short positions.

We would like to see more transparency in the market. Retail investors are not privy to everything the hedge funds are. We cannot trade in pre market or after hours. There are rules in place, and we would like to see the SEC, DTCC, Et al to enforce those rules.

We would love to see short sale institutional/hedge fund data be reported just as the regulations require long positions 13F filings in order to file and finalize a purchase. Currently we have an issue where naked shorts have been created in several stocks across the market, but could be better regulated by requiring such filing so be submitted before large scale institutional short positions are created that damage healthy companies and rob them for the fair chance to be successful.

Naked shorts is illegal and fines don’t work. If a regular person goes to jail for illegal activities so should rich people. If you’re reading this you’re a regular person.

Hedge funds use techniques such as naked shorting, dark pools, and other questionable techniques to transfer money from retail investors to such funds. It is of the utmost importance that there is a level playing field thus that any type of short is logged, incuding which type of short it is, who is doing this etc. And to do this on a regular basis (daily?) so there is a more level playing field. This data should be publically available.

When large investors can break the law and set up naked shorts,it's not only wrong and immoral but it shows the system can easily be manipulated by powerful corrupt hedge funds and allows them to ignore any steps the rule makers such as yourselves make,which then shows that they have you in their pockets and any fines are clearly not making any different.

The use of Darkpools to buy stock anonymously and then sell into the market is a misuse of what darkpools we’re intended for and are being used by the institutions to manipulate the stock in an unfair manner against retail investors.

changes look good, more transparency the better
