I request the following to be taken into consideration for addition to the proposed rule change: - Short positions held by market makers should require enhanced reporting. In addition, anytime an options contract is opened by a MM well below market value for the stock, the time of trade and involved party should be reported. - Incorporate ETF short interest in reporting requirements. - Require firms to maintain securities lending records for 10 years. - Fines for naked short selling should equal the profit of the cumulative short position with a portion payable to the victimized Company.

There needs to be regulations and laws put in place to separate market makers from those able to make trades in the market. How is it a free market when retail investors clearly have a disadvantage compared to hedgefunds. People are losing hope in the market, especially because of what you’re allowing to happen with heavily shorted stocks such as AMC and GME.

Rule 1. All short sale shall be reported to finra by end of each settlement day. Rule 2. Finra shall make public report the day to day short sale by end of settlement day or the trading week. Rule 3. All unused loaned shares shall be reported to finra by end of settlement day. Rule 4. Finra shall make public the outstanding unused loaned share by end of settlement day of a trading week. Rule 5. All threshold securities sho regulation shall be reported daily with full accounting of fail to deliver end by end of settlement day. Rule 6.

Enforce the rules. Stop cutting deals on fines because CEO's used to work there. Make the fines hurt, instead of just being a cost of business. Stop naked shorting, regulate the dark pool, margin calls on short sellers with of lots of failures to deliver like Citadel.

This was my comment: The Reporting of Loan Obligations as Short Interest. Theory suggests that some participants are borrowing shares from ETF's to cover their existing short interest. This only results in the same exposure continuing to exist elsewhere in the market, in effect, the short position has not been closed, but rather, is moved off the books which affects the integrity on both ends of the affiliate program.

Hi, The entire world is watching you. They see GME and AMC being shorted. They also see the FTD’s. You must show leadership through accountability and fairness. The American people will not bail out these hedge funds and market makers. Regards, Ali AMC Ape

By reporting FTDs and short positions it would allow for more transparency. It feels as if there are 2 sets of rules. The retail investor does not have all of the information to better equip themselves in their retail strategy. While giving institutions an upper hand.

Hi Finra. How are you today? Reason I'm writing this is to ask you to please look into hedge funds that are illegally shorting and manipulating the stock market. For far too long these Hf are hurting the market. As an investor I just want a fair market to invest and I am looking at the regulators like the Finra and the SEC to restore the integrity of the stock market. You are my only hope of a fair market for this generation and the generation to come. Thanks you.

I think it’s important to ALL investors that all short shares/failure to deliver shares/ dark pool shares be reported on a honest and legal standing. It’s been pretty clear that this is not happening. The entire stock market needs to be monitored for each settled business day. Please lock out the corruption and deceit from hedge fund companies. They are and solely destroying companies on a daily basis. The fact that are aren’t regulated on a daily or weekly basis is pretty disappointing. Do right by the people who invest their hard earned money to keep the economy flowing.

FINRA should have more transparency in short positions and made accessible to investors. All 6 proposed changes are an excellent start.
