T-Evening on positions. T-2 makes no sense for the average joe that trades. Times have changed yet Finra has not adapted. All hedge funds should legally have to make their positions public, especially if a short position.

It should be a requirement for institutions to disclose short positions just as it is for long positions.

What professionals get away with is criminal at worst and a rigged game at best. Shame on the regulators and organizations who let it happen.

1. Open institutional short positions should be disclosed after the end of every market close. 2. Shares in an institutional short position should be serialized in order to attempt to prevent rehypothication and to confirm the shares exist. 3. Failure to delivers should be disclosed within 1 day after the settlement date. 4. The penalty for not reporting information on open short positions or failure to delivers on time should be 15% of the short position, plus an additional 5% for everyday the information is not submitted. Thanks

Hello FINRA, I saw you are looking for comments on 21-19, regarding short positions. As I see it, the current US market is full of nothing but fraud, with the regulatory agencies being complicit. They are complicit through their complacency, with years of unchecked fraud and market manipulation through naked short selling by large hedgefunds like Citadel and Susquehana being allowed to happen with impunity.The SEC and FINRA have known about this illegal counterfeiting practice for many years, with nothing being done to rectify the illegality of the market conditions.

Hello, As you know the Stocks GME/AMC are being extremly shorted to a point where the Share price is being manipulated by Hedge Fonds. Today Dark pool trading for Amc reached 60%. These tatics are used to Short the stock extremly, we also call this method short laddder attacks and it's highly illeagel. SO please do your jobs and watch Hedge Fonds like Citadeal closely

Regulatory Notice 21-19; I have watched the stock that I am invested in get shorted into the ground, manipulated through short ladder attacks and dark pool trading. If I am to maintain any faith at all in the integrity of the North American stock market system, it can only happen if Citadel Securities is called to report their short position and other requested information per the Regulatory Notice 21-19.

No transparency is desperately needed in order for retail investors to stand q chance. Please look into trading trends on AMC and GME. We cannot see data of what is happening when being naked shorted, or what is occurring on the ATF or dark pool markets. Somehow AMC in particular tends to go down in price, even though there are more people buying than selling on most days. This tells me the trading price retailers see is not the same trading price that exists on the alternative market or OTC/dark pool. Thanks for listening. Scott

Bring back the protections put in place by FDR and worked for 75 years! The uptick rule, the prohibition against naked shorting for EVERYONE, strong enforcement of predatory stock manipulation, etc... The most powerful forces on Wall Street prey on small investors, we the people, and it needs to stop! They are parasites at the expense of jobs and the savings of everyday Americans. Do the right thing! BTW, why did you get rid of these protections for us in the first place? "Liquidity" in the marketplace they sold you as needed?

Fines for illegal practices cannot be less than profits gained. As long as this is the case, any new rules and regulations are meaningless. While increased transparency is a nice gesture, it is entirely pointless if rules and regulations are not enforced or considered "cost of business".
