We need more transparency for every short position so we can see the manipulation.

Short interest reporting enhancement is needed
We (retail investors) simply need to know more information on short positions on all available platforms - free or premium services alike. The information should also be as accurate and as current as possible with little to no delays for the entire market to participate fairly. Thank you.
At a minimum we should have transparency in the market to see the same information hedge funds and market makers see also to see short positions that effect market prices
I support transparency in short reporting process and accountability. In cases such as the Robinhood stopping trade on AMC have created a distrust for the market and weaken the economy for all. Making data available in a single place will help restore some of the trust lost into the institution and improve confidence in our economy as whole.
Shorting is a fundamental part of the free market, but surely naked shorting of any kind be it physical stock, bonds etc should carry such a severe penalty that hedge funds thinks twice before going down that path. Hedge funds should be playing by the same rules as anyone investing in the markets, it should be free and transparent for all participants. The SEC has turned a blind eye for to long and retail investors have had enough.
Pretty simple please stop the price manipulation going on with amc and gme. Put yourself in our shoes. How would you feel if cheating millionaires and corrupted sec department held your money hostage? You guys know what's going on please do the right thing 🙏 if you believe in God it shouldn't be hard. And if you do nothing to fix it just remember one word. KARMA
I approve of all of the requested actions. I hope this will be a step in the right direction to improving the current dysfunctional system that can currently be abused for profit.
Hello. I would like to see all short interest positions reported with a T+1. Transparency in the stock market is important and currently there is too much hidden from the general public. Please make the changes necessary for the public to believe in fairness in the stock market. Because currently, the general public believe it's heavily skewed towards those individuals/institutions with more money and resources. Thank you.
It is my opinion the markets should be as transparent and fair across all avenues. The lack of transparency and information tilts the scale away from the retail investor and in turn causes distrust towards further involvement. Short information should be required to be disclosed to accurately guage the status and balance of a trade, and to rule out any potential foul play or bad actors.
