Outlaw all dark pools, synthetic shorts, and fail to delivers, or at the bare minimum require them all to be reported in realtime publicly. These are the bare minimum clear steps needed, or further info exposing the depth of corruption will be leaked, inevitably leading to global financial collapse.
Greater transparency regarding short positions is essential for the market to function as intended. Any regulation that increases this transparency has my wholehearted support. Market manipulation must be actively fought against as loopholes continue to be found by those who would sacrifice their integrity for profit.

Please explain to us why 50-70% of all retail transactions are going through the dark pools for AMC and GME every single day. As new investors we would like to understand how the blatant price manipulation, and lack of price discovery is considered legal by FINRA and other the other regulatory bodies. From what I have read this was not what the intended use of dark pools was for. I believe if
