To whom it may concern, I feel that things could go better if rules which are passed are enforced. Shorts and naked shorts should be closed and not covered because they(hedge funds with short positions) just use illegal ways for covering. Using the rules to over manipulate a stock (AMC, GME) isn't fair market and harsher punishment should be the consequences. Jail time, fines which start in
Executive Summary
In mid-January, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved a revised NASD Manual. To facilitate your adjustment to this new Manual, which is scheduled for publication and dissemination this May, we have included a Guide to the Manual: New-to-Old Conversion Chart and Old-to-New Conversion Chart. This material outlines the reorganized Manual and indicates where the

First I want to say that the money I use to invest or trade the market is mine and I should be able to use it as I see fit. I often use inverse funds to hedge or take advantage of short term pull backs in the market. It seems to me to be a lot easier to buy an inverse fund than to acquire shares to short or use an options strategy. I also often use long leveraged funds to take advantage of the
I think shorting leveraged ETFs should be disallowed. Perhaps that'd go a way in reducing systematic market risk from these financial instruments? There are plenty leveraged ETFs designed just for shorting an index and it makes no sense to me that one might prefer shorting the ETF itself. It more easily con-volutes one's thinking than just buying the bearish ETF.
Anything and everything related to short positions, including synthetic or naked shorts should be made as transparent as possible, as soon as possible. No more shuffling around FTD's, no more short ladder attacks, no more waiting days/weeks for the data to be published. Level the playing field for all.
The market is not free. Shorts are a scam. Naked shorting is a scam. In the name of AMC… the company is a victim of shorting, and likely naked shorting with the recent information on millions of failure to deliver numbers DAILY! What is being done about this? How can we allow this in a free society? This is embarrassing to American markets. How can AMC trade its own float multiple times a week?
Short selling to bankrupt a company should be illegal. Not that the legal system does anything about the naked shorting that's being abused. Short selling is essential to the market, but something needs to actually be done to the hedge funds who abuse this system. It's not fair and it's not right.
Hey there! I humbly and gratefully thank you guys for opening the doors to the public to have a say. I'd like to express my fears regarding short selling and naked shorting and how it affects my family. The stock price of my shares (AMC) often makes no sense, I'm asking FINRA to dig into just what's going on with big short positions, is the price being manipulated, the shorts have
