Data transparency is a must of having reliability, responsibility, and accountability within in financial industry. Without the full faith and trust in a fair system, myself and other investors would see no reason to put our hard earned money at risk to the "Wall Street Boys Club". As such, all information about short sale positions, short interest, etc. must be publicly and freely
Good day, There is brazen and blatant market manipulation being done by big investors to drive down prices of securities such as AMC and GME, including practices such as naked shorting, ladder attacks, the spreading of misinformation through media outlets, etc. As to the short interest, what is reported is not accurate, as much of what takes place is on "dark pools" and is made of of
Short selling has not gone beyond simply providing for market liquidity and has become a method to destroy shareholder value. New rules (or better enforcement) need to take place to prevent this from continuing. Start by forcing all brokers to default their clients' positions to "not lend." This will restrict the available shares. Additionally, mandate that all short positions
Concerned with naked shorting and market manipulation amongst current hedge funds. Specifically naked shorting and delayed order flows.

Strong enforcement of illegal naked shorting. Penalties should be more than a slap on the wrist, or nothing at all. It's illegal, don't allow it.

No shorting in unregulated exchanges. I’m sure there’s many more, but it’s hard to keep track of all the felonious behavior. Retail traders are being robbed of their money all over the market by things not
All short positions, FTD's, short interest, dark pool prices and Naked short positions -- must be available, public information -- immediately for all -- at all times... all information about everything must be available immediately for everyone. I mean, come on, this is obvious for a fair playing field. Hedge funds are getting away with crime after crime. the playing field must be equalized
I am writing to request that FINRA reform their short-sale and FTD reporting to the highest enforcement standards possible. Specifically, I am concerned that FINRA's current blindness with regard to alternate formations of short interest through "married puts" and arranged financing leads to unquantifiable systemic risk which can then be rolled over indefinitely with low borrow
I am angry to learn about potential limits of my ability to trade any public security. Leveraged and inverse funds allow me to better manage risks and liquidity in my portfolio. They also offer the ability to trade in smaller sizes than typical futures contracts. Being able to short something without having to adjust exposure daily is a massive benefit for investors. You can't naked
