I would like to see more information and transparency in reporting of short sale positions. I am a retail investor and would like an even playing field with hedge funds. I understand that other markets have stopped the short share positions to stimulate the economy. Thank you for your time

The Securities and Exchange Commission has recently approved amendments to Section 4 of Appendix A, Article III, Section 30 of the Association's Rules of Fair Practice that relates to minimum margin requirements for option contracts on a market or industry index.

Its clear that you guys understand that big intuition shape market sentiment, that is why it has been required for big institution to report when they take a long position in any company, it is beyond absurd that the same requirements are not in place when a large intuition takes a massive short position. Going forward, it should be a requirement that short positions be reported on a daily basis
All shares should have an identifying number and should not be able to lend out and sell and all shorts need to be closed and all shares returned to their owner hedge funds have been cheating the retail for too long make them buy back every share they have shorted!!!
As much short related info as possible. The playing field is not level. Some people use shorting maliciously and without more info it’s not only unfair but illegal. Fines are just pennies to them. They willfully break the law make tons and pay the fines from the a small percentage of their profits.

Please do not prevent me from using financial instruments that give me 2x and 3x exposure to index products. They provide a safer way to hedge my portfolio than going short specific things that are much more highly priced and my potential losses are completely known to me unlike a flat out short position. Sincerely ,Wayne Rhody
I agree with these changes. Short interest should be reported daily. Synthetic shorts absolutely need to be accounted for! These changes should be implemented ASAP. Not necessarily all at once . We need full transparency in the market! And why is HFT allowed to exist in dark pools? It’s pure market manipulation! Thank you!
A breakdown per market maker of short positions as well. More transparency of, or doing away with, dark pool transactions. When stocks are going 50+% through dps on a daily basis, that is not in keeping with the purpose. Short positions vs percentage of capital for accounts. A daily, dedicated transcript of increase/decrease per shorts/float.
