Finra, The short selling on the market has become a joke to many of us. We see so much manipulation with simple indictators like the Inflow beating the Outflow by i.e. '100' yet we manage to drop $5? So, it would be nice to see (for a start) if this is shorting pressure, or if this is manipulation. It would give us chance to evaluate why the stock is dropping yet its only being bought up by 'Apes'. With short positions, I dont believe we can trust HFs to be responsible for recording and submitting their own positions, I think this needs to be: 1.

It is in the public's best interest that hedge funds are NOT allowed to short, or delay communicating their shorts, or hiding them in dark pools or married puts to prevent covering. At the end of the day, it's the American people that end up paying for their dirty deeds, either by losing their companies/jobs/pensions. This is and is legal robbery!

1. All short sales must be reported to FINRA by the end of each settlement day and made public by the beginning of the next settlement day. - FINRA must automatically pull the information by market close electronically (i.e. NO self-reporting) 2. All unused loaned shares must be reported to FINRA by end of settlement day and made public by the beginning of the next settlement day - FINRA must automatically pull the information by market close electronically (i.e. NO self-reporting) 3.

Dear Finra, I request you make short selling data more transparent, updated and available to the public. Thank you. Malik.

With all the shenanigans that happen on the US market it is really causing myself and many others to lose faith in the American system. Many people from the UK have already stated they will Never invest in the American market again as it’s so corrupted. America wishes to be a global powerhouse but a lack of retail money will crush the dream very quickly all for the sake of looking after the 1%. Wake up to what is happening before it’s too late

Would like to see real time short interest information in regards to short positions and calls/puts, and failure to delivers on at least a t-3 system if not end of day by 6pm. This would encourage a far more fair and transparent market for retail traders.

Naked shorts, synthetic shorts, dark pools, all must go. Where is the fairness in trading on t Wall Street if the retail inverstors are at a disadvantage? There has to be more transparency on Wall Street, there has to be someone in charge who enforces the new regulations from SEC and FINRA, and reporting practices must be on a public level. Hedge fund and retail investor must have the same opportunities to trade. It cannot be that the inflow of share sales is sky high and the price does not increase!

I apologize for the undoubtedly large number of submissions you are likely receiving from those simply looking to vent rather than actually comment on the specific matters in this notice. The scope of volume seen in trading is absolutely daunting, and I think the first question that should be asked regarding any information being collected is whether it is purely self-reported, or if there is some way to readily independently audit/validate said info in a mostly automated fashion.

Make short selling more transparent (e.g daily data). Participants have to file in the long positions, but not the shorts, why? Disallow "data manipulation" by fake covering with worthless deep OTM options. Remove loopholes based on T+2 settlement. Why even T+2? Make it T+0 already. Why allow shorting of stocks on the security threshold list by short excempt? It seems not appropriate to give a broker that kind of decision. Short selling right now is biased to spexific market participants, giving them huge advantages over retail. This is not a fair market.

Please do something about the illegal marking shorts as longs, prime brokers conspiring with hedgefunds, dark pool abuse, naked shorting, and tranperancy. Stop allowing hedgefunds to abuse shorts and only get a small fine if caught. Serious penalty or jail time for illegality should b considered if u wish fo uphold rule of law
