I'm a retail investor from Sweden who's been an investor in AMC since January 2021. AMC is the owner of Sweden's largest cinema chain (Filmstaden) and I found it important to try and help a struggling company to survive. Little did I know that short sellers with seemingly endless liquidity tried the exact opposite: to bankrupt the company through short selling and driving down the stock price. In a way it felt like they were kicking someone who was already down.

You guys need to look into the dark pool, The synthetic shorts, the illegal shorts hedge funds are barrowing and/or taking, the stock manipulation they're doing to both AMC/GME. And certain platforms associated w/ big hedge funds are turning off the "BUY" button with no consequences!!!! This has been going on for years but with these meme stocks it's at an all times high. It's ridiculous!

I applaud FINRA’s proposed rule changes and support any rule that makes short interest visible to all investors. Free and fast information leads to better price discovery for all. Buried and outdated short interest reports serve only those who have short positions they wish to remain hidden and those who abuse FTD and naked shorting loopholes to manipulate prices. These actions hurt all investors and the only way to stop them is to make them visible.

Short Sale Rule should be changed to state that if a stock is shorted ten percent from the previous day's close,, NO shorting is allowed from that moment until the end of the next trading day. It is rediculous to allow shorting at all beyond that ten percent mark as it solely benefits the wealthy institutions who can afford to continue to drive a price down when retail investors are buying stock. It intentionally harms retail investors. Also, short sale date should be reported in real time or at leasts daily.

Rule 1. All short sale shall be reported to finra by end of each settlement day. Rule 2. Finra shall make public report the day to day short sale by end of settlement day or the trading week. Rule 3. All unused loaned shares shall be reported to finra by end of settlement day. Rule 4. Finra shall make public the outstanding unused loaned share by end of settlement day of a trading week. Rule 5. All threshold securities sho regulation shall be reported daily with full accounting of fail to deliver end by end of settlement day. Rule 6.

As a fan of making the Market a more even playground for everybody, especially retail Investors, I fully support this. Best regards from Germany

How about more transparency such as more frequent short share counts? Weekly short share audits would be great. The possible elimination of shorting through dark pools is another great idea. Money managers have all the data as they see the counts coming in. Why not let the “retail investor” see the shares going out? Level the playing field and that would be a huge boon for the economy in terms of taxes, spending, etc.
