It is strange that there is always 'new' regulations but how about ENFORCING the current regulations? Citadel, for one, keeps shorting stock with phantom shares. SEC has been informed but just like Bernie Madoff they ignore all information. The stock market is a joke and is NOT a free market. It will be sad when retail folk start pulling their money out of the market!
It is in the interest of anyone investing in the market, as well as for those with retirement accounts for there to be an improvement in the reporting of short interest, and of its sources. At this time it is common for stock prices to be determined not by the foundational performance of the company that it represents, but rather by whether hedge funds or other investment vehicles have decided to
I use inverse funds to keep my savings from reducing because of inflation. In a time when stocks, bonds and cash are all loosing value, inverse funds are the easiest way to protect my savings. Put options are difficult to understand, and my brokerage will not let me short stocks directly.

Finra, The short selling on the market has become a joke to many of us. We see so much manipulation with simple indictators like the Inflow beating the Outflow by i.e. '100' yet we manage to drop $5?

Short positions should have to report ALL accurate and up to date data. The amount of shares they have shorted. There should also be a T+0 system implace.

Equality in the stock market is what we should have. The naked
Please crack down on those naked shorts, synthetic stocks, and hedge-fund manipulations. Thanks.
Shares should have a tracking number on them. Trading would be simplified and tracking fraud would be easy to find. Locates also need to be recorded as soon as they are put in use and or taken off the books when finished using...... IN A CENTRALIZED PLACE FOR ALL TO SEE.... As of right now. creating more float than available is a major problem. When the float of a company is held... The price
Please do something about naked shorting, synthetic shares and dark pool trading. As a new retail investor it's really disheartening to realize that I'm going against hedge funds who can create naked short and synthetic shares so they can then trade them in a second set of books to manipulate the price of stocks. Please stop these illegal and immoral activities.
While these increased reporting requirements around the currently broadly abused short selling practices in the stock market (including naked shorting, mis-reporting longs as shorts, re-hypothecated shares, married puts/calls, and fails to deliver) are a step in the right direction, the proposed changes do not go far enough to provide transparency and fairness to the public. Please consider
