There really needs to be individual markers or identifiers for each stock. This has been ridiculous to watch as there are "sythetic" shares that are causing an impact on the market as a whole.
Comments:I am a long term investor that prefers to use leveraged products to lessen my exposure to individual stocks. The risks have been made very apparent by my broker.
As an American under a government that really doesn't care about their constituents (both Dems and Repubs) and a plummeting stock market, we should be able to protect whatever little we have.

Amc is being manipulated by ftds, dark pool trading, bond melting , being on the threshold lost from these illegal moves made by hedge funds (citadel). SSR has been issued multiple times to amc in the last month but continually the interest continues to rise and the short position continues to not be covered. Please look into this unbiased.
How do we get transparency and regulations involving synthetic shares or IOU’s. I understand the necessity to make trading instant, but these shares should be required to be covered in a day or two. Shorting shares infinitely that aren’t owned, borrowing borrowed shares, and synthetics are a major issue. We need transparency and legal consequences for fraud and manipulation.
Fines smaller than the profits made by violators are called bribes. All regulatory bodies that impose minor fines are taking bribes. The fact that comments are being asked for when the public sentiment on naked short selling, FTDers, and obvious price manipulation is incredibly easy to find is just another slap in the face to retail traders.
I would like to propose a fixed T+0 or T+1 settlement date for all shares. FTD's (Failure to deliver) are rampant in the current market structure and allows for adverse effects on price discovery. Enforce a T+0 or T+1 settlement for FTD's and this would saveguard price discovery and mop up shorting fraud without risking liquidity issues.
Accurate short sale tracking is obviously important, but it’s only as useful as the information given on dark pool activities. Dark pool existence, and how those exchanges are able to integrate shares into major exchanges is beyond fraudulent. I appreciate your efforts, but share selling will never be put into check until dark pools are eliminated.
