Transparency in the market and frequent monitoring of naked shorting. Start enforcing the rules we already have and the fines need to be steep enough to incentivize the Hedge Funds and other large investors to stop with the illegal activity. The fines need to be in the 10's or 100's of millions of dollars.
On penalties - Penalties should not just be monetary but should include jail time. HF's and short sellers are no longer dissuaded to stop illegal activities, such as incorrect/inaccurate reporting and creating synthetic shares, because with the money they earn through illegal means, they are able to pay fines.

Dear Madam or Sir, I support your proposal on the reporting of short sales. This hopefully makes the market a bit more transparent. Unfortunately, the market is predominantly run by hedge funds. My hope is in your hands. Kind regards from Germany Birger Christan
The rules around Failure to delivers (on short selling) for larger organizations (namely citadel securities and others), is giving them a way out to continue to drag down companies and squeeze out retail investors. The market does not function the way it should with the hand tipped to the market maker. The market maker is also the one funding the media outlets, may own assets in 'educational
I support these modifications. I believe that minimizing the reporting gap will limit some types of short selling abuse and market manipulation. Hourly synchronized aggregation and reporting of this data is possible with modern computing and would limit the gray zones in which HFT’s can exploit informational lag.
do this. naked short selling should be illegal. if i’m a used car salesman and have a title for a car, but then make thousands of copies of that title to sell, i’d go to jail. but in the financial market? it’s the current practice of many hedge funds and market makers.
Comments: Please do not limit access to retail individual investors nor materially change the current structure of these funds. I use these funds both with short- and mid-term focus as a swing trade investor, and these funds have become a key strategic element to my brokerage trading strategy complementing long-term holding strategies.
During the 2007-2009 financial crisis your organization put limits on selling short to protect big banks. I am certain the purpose of this regulation is to limit selling losers once again.
Stop protecting "us" and start regulating "them". Companies have bean playing in your casino for too long.
No to this regualation
I am firmly against the proposed changes to limit access to and actions on leveraged and inverse funds. For myself and others like me, they are a legitimate, useful, and profitable investing vehicle that form a significant portion of my short term investing strategy. Respectfully, I am asking that you do not over regulate where it is not needed.
