I am ashamed at how blatantly our markets are built to generate wealth for a select few at the expense of main st businesses and people. It is an embarrassment that over 100% of a company could be sold short. It is an embarrassment that wall st firms can sell millions of shares short, but mark them long and continue to do business with a laughable fine. It is honestly hard to take FIRNA seriously
Reiterating what another commenter said: “ The proposed amendment to FINRA 4560 is a laughable attempt at improving naked short selling internal control measures, actual regulatory action, or really any kind of further obligation on the part of the involved broker-dealers. There have been hundreds if not thousands of regulatory "actions" taken by FINRA related to short sale, and

I would love to have more transparency with companies taking short positions so that we can have somewhat of a level playing field. Maybe require companies to report short positions.
All short positions data should be released DAILY. THE SEC SHOULD ENFORCE THEIR ALREADY ESTABLISHED LAWS INSTEAD OF FORCING US TO HIRE LAWYERS TO GO AFTER HEDGEFUNDS THAT TRADE SHARES IN DARK POOLS. THE AMOUNT OF MARKET MANIPULATION THAT OCCURS DAILY WITH ONLY A SLAP ON THE HAND IS RIDICULOUS! MAYBE START ENFORCING MARGIN CALLS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE CITADEL'S FINANCIALS TO SEE IF THEY HAVE
As a small retail investor it is obvious that shorting has become a way to rig the game against the retail investor and against companies vying for survival. This practice of shorting and the illegal practice of naked short selling makes our financial system look like a stool with three legs…. Not very stable. If we don’t fix the glaring problems in this system where the scale is so clearly
I t hink the current vagueries of the short market are an absolute disaster. We need precision and accuracy to determine reasonable market moves- something in this "self-regulating" market, we simply dont have. Too many companies fail to disclose or accurately disclose their short positions, and simply pay the fine later after theyve made their money on the backs of those who couldnt
Short interest reporting needs to be far more robust than is currently required.

We need a sytem of checks and balances and to not rely on self reporting from parties who have shown a complete disregard for the rules time and time again. It's
