Short sale reporting should require actual shares to be in their position to short. Reporting should consolidate every trading day to ensure there is only 100% of the float in circulation. Naked shorting should be a fine at a 15% of the firms last year revenue earned. In addition repeat violations should increase in 30% to impact the firms overall bottom line to ensure it is not the cost of doing business that exist today. Shares should also be located within 48 hours and failure should result in meaningful fines.

I only have 1 comment. The SEC looks like a joke around the world. The rules are clearly not being applied.

I never realized that the "Stock Market" is controlled by the players themselves. Of course they will thwart and break the rules when the penalties and fines are SO miniscule contrasted with the profit they make by breaking 'the rules'. The Average Jane like me has no chance of advancing or even holding our ground against the machine that the US Gov't allows to run rampant. Nothing is off the table any more. The whole Country is corrupt, and this is just another parcel. Do what *you* can, if you aren't in someone's pocket.....

Dark pool money should be illegal. Hedge funds and MM's manipulate stock prices up or down by selectively routing purchases or sales of stock, at their discretion through dark pool funds that goes against all principles of free and fair trading practices. Some say, "well it used to be worse back in the day when all trades were on the floor of the exchanges, and with the advent of computer trading by individual retail investors, the playing field has never been more level". I say bullshit. It's either visible to all or not. And right now, it is not. Make it a law - no Dark Pools.

HEDGE fund are the problem. Pleas to regul the market. Thx

I would like to have more transparency around what stocks are shorted.

It amazes me that citadel can control market orders from Robin Hood. They can see real-time information and use it to control stock prices giving an unfair advantage to retailer investors! They can direct sell orders through the exchange but can place by orders through the dark pool! I strongly disagree that the dark pool should be eliminated but highly encourage all retailer investors’ orders go through the exchange where it was meant to go!

We want the all the illegal naked shorting to stop, we want the SEC to force the hedgies to cover all their shares in AMC! We want equality in the stock market! We want our voice’s to be heard and for hedgies and corrupt professional who are involved in illegal activities on the stock market to be imprisoned for those actions! If the retail individuals did what hedgies did retail investors would be in jail!!! Explain that? We want justice, freedom and for exposure of the corruption!

With all of the technology today short sale positions should be reported daily. There’s no way you can tell me that we can put a rover or Mars but can’t count shares of stock.

Companies like AMC and GMW are shorted for percentages larger than the float. The price is obviously manipulated and hedgefunds are able to manipulate the price with options. Brokerages collude with hedge funds like in February when retail traders were not allowed to buy GME there by allowing hedge funds to cheat the system.
