This was my comment: The Reporting of Loan Obligations as Short Interest. Theory suggests that some participants are borrowing shares from ETF's to cover their existing short interest. This only results in the same exposure continuing to exist elsewhere in the market, in effect, the short position has not been closed, but rather, is moved off the books which affects the integrity on both ends of the affiliate program.

Hi, The entire world is watching you. They see GME and AMC being shorted. They also see the FTD’s. You must show leadership through accountability and fairness. The American people will not bail out these hedge funds and market makers. Regards, Ali AMC Ape

By reporting FTDs and short positions it would allow for more transparency. It feels as if there are 2 sets of rules. The retail investor does not have all of the information to better equip themselves in their retail strategy. While giving institutions an upper hand.

Hi Finra. How are you today? Reason I'm writing this is to ask you to please look into hedge funds that are illegally shorting and manipulating the stock market. For far too long these Hf are hurting the market. As an investor I just want a fair market to invest and I am looking at the regulators like the Finra and the SEC to restore the integrity of the stock market. You are my only hope of a fair market for this generation and the generation to come. Thanks you.

I think it’s important to ALL investors that all short shares/failure to deliver shares/ dark pool shares be reported on a honest and legal standing. It’s been pretty clear that this is not happening. The entire stock market needs to be monitored for each settled business day. Please lock out the corruption and deceit from hedge fund companies. They are and solely destroying companies on a daily basis. The fact that are aren’t regulated on a daily or weekly basis is pretty disappointing. Do right by the people who invest their hard earned money to keep the economy flowing.

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
