Market makers and Hedge funds have turned the stock market into a casino. The practice of short selling and even worse naked short selling are nothing short of criminal. Allowing these firms to manipulate the price of shares at will, in dark pools, without any threat of consequences is reprehensible. How the SEC continues to allow this practice shines light on their impotence and questions the integrity and value of this agency. Thus is corruption at its worst.

T-0 settlement. Excessive FTDs to be ruled as criminal. Naked options illegal. No dark pool shorting to get around the SSR

More frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public. Thank you

Nothing has ever been fixed by a slap on the wrist. Nothing will change. All of these comments will amount to nothing. The media is manipulated. The market maker and hedge fund are one in the same. The payment of order flow is anything but fair. Brokerages like Robinhood are in the pockets of citadel quite literally. $10,000 was stolen from me because I chose to take a stand against corruption. The term fair market is laughable. But it's hard to laugh when you lose almost all your savings to a corrupt corporation.

As a retail investor i’m strongly in favour if these changes to the gathering and publishing of data regarding short positions and the regulation of options based synthetic-share creation. These rules are a strong step forward in protecting the interests of everyday shareholders, those who invest the most, and have the most to lose when abuse, corruption, malfeasance, or negligence are allowed to run rampant across markets. Free markets require transparency, visibility, trust, and value.

The technology is available for T+0, we are fighting with companies who have the whole picture, yet we retail investors have to wait two days. We need more transparency, along with detailed rule enforcement, but overall we need more transparency, the retail investor knows that the tables are tilted towards the large institution. It is an unfair advantage.

Short positions should be made pubic knowledge as quickly as hedge funds can see retail investors order flow. We want transparency and accountability.
