Predatory naked short selling is the bane of healthy markets in this age. The tricks these funds use to hide these positions are unacceptable and frankly just plain cheating. SI reports are basically useless as all a company need do is simply report false data and pay a measly fine. There are too many holes in this ship and it is quickly filling with water. FINRA is largely toothless to stop this
Beginning in early December 2022, FINRA will introduce changes to the Trade Data Dissemination Service (TDDS 2.0).1 These changes are being made in concert with FINRA’s technical infrastructure upgrade, and TDDS clients should plan to accommodate them.
FINRA has updated the TDDS specification to correspond with these changes and has also included the link to the MOLD/UDP 64 specification in the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) a proposed rule change to amend FINRA Rule 6121.02 (Market-wide Circuit Breakers in NMS Stocks) concerning the resumption of trading following a Level 3 market-wide circuit breaker halt.
Having been a retail investor for over two decades, I only recently discovered the extent of market manipulation really going on behind the scenes. I applaud your organization's proposed changes.

It has become far more of a common practice for short sellers to utilize dark pool exchanges to manipulate securities. To add to my early comment about transparency, dark pools need to go away. I can't believe that this practice is actually considered legal in what is supposed to be a
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I should be able to choose stocks and etfs that are right for me. I studied leveraged etfs before putting my money. I understand completely regarding those etfs characters. I choose to invest those etfs because those etfs are essential parts of my investment. I want to stay that way. I do not need any restriction to my investment right.
Hello, Thank you for opening this to comment. My only comment is that I second all of the comments regarding our markets being rigged. Please listen to retail, because without us (and we’re rapidly losing faith), even Citadel won’t be able to make markets.

In forex only 3 countries in the whole world restrict leverage to maximum of 50 to 1. All other countries are allowed 500 and even 1000 to 1. Are these citizens smarter or is it those governments allow a person the freedom to spend their money as each person sees fit????
