Regarding the stocks $AMC and $GME: There must be more transparency about short positions. There should be no self reported data from any entity, there must be a third party overseer. The loop holes regarding short positions and failed to deliver shares (FTD’s) need to be closed. These positions should be made to be paid out and the idea that hedge funds can hide positions in OTM positions or paying a small fine in comparison to the loss is absurd. The fine should be a large penalty or percentage of their position on a security.

Please introduce all of the key points stated in your statement. It is vital that retail investors have access to the same information and data as institutional investors. Especially when it comes to short interest data and number of failure to delivers which have a huge effect on share price. Thank you.

There should be a searchable list of total failures to deliver broken down by listed company and the individual market makers who have failed to deliver.

We need transparency and fairness. Also we need swift action on the corruption taking place now and for the last three decades.

This market manipulation should not be happening in the USA. A lot of people got hurt Financially and mentally. The number one reason I don't like the Short Sellers is because they are hurting the USA economy. The shorts sellers to me personally are the biggest scammers in the history of the world. They need to pay the bill to everyone including the US economy

MARGIN CALLS. MAKE THEM CLOSE SHORT POSITIONS. RESTRICT TRADING ON OFF MARKET EXCHANGES (dark pool) FORCE OVERLEVERAGED SHORT POSITIONS TO BE CLOSED AND LIQUIDATED

Naked shorts should not exist at all. Citadel and other hedgefunds are creating shares, trading them in dark pools back and forth with each other, and in some cases they dump them back into the market to artificially suppress stock prices. They make millions selling off shares while trying to ruin companies. Why is this even allowed. As a regular person, I can’t make up items and sell them on Ebay. These companies need to cover their positions and be margin called. It’s not just GME and AMC they do it too.

Dark pools and naked shorting is killing the market. Ftd s are not being take. Seriously. AMC apes will be leaving the market after the squeeze if you don’t do something about the manipulation, cheating and theft. If you don’t we’ll crash the market and never return. You sat by in 2008 but nows your chance to make things right. Fight for us (the lil guy) or we will make the markets pay dearly

Reiterating what another commenter said: “ The proposed amendment to FINRA 4560 is a laughable attempt at improving naked short selling internal control measures, actual regulatory action, or really any kind of further obligation on the part of the involved broker-dealers. There have been hundreds if not thousands of regulatory "actions" taken by FINRA related to short sale, and misreporting/misclassification of shorts. This filing appears to broaden the scope of required disclosures. period. end of filing.

The average investor in the United States is kept woefully in the dark when it comes to the dealings of large institutions, such as Citadel. The power institutions like this have to manipulate the market and evade even the simplest rules of the "free and fair" market has proven astronomical. Retail investors need more transparent access to short positions that these large institutions largely take out to bankrupt American companies, kill jobs and enrich themselves.
