1) Market maker cannot run their hedge funds : They have huge conflict of interest in their actions as market maker. 2) Mandatory short interest and long interest on weekly basis 3)US to adopt a settlement discipline regime (like EU's CSDR), which would reverse failed trades and suspend market participants who repeatedly fail to deliver shares sold 4) Acting on current rules diligently. 5)
I have spent thousands of hours reading, researching, and investigating all of the ins and outs of the markets for many years. Never have I ever seen as much blatant manipulation as we do now by certain short sellers. The media articles. The dark pool trading. Short sellers MUST BE INVESTIGATED. They're hiding the manipulation in broad daylight. And it's cost me thousands of settled
I would like to See ALL Data daily regarding short positions. How is it that high frequency trading can be programmed to carry out millions upon millions of short transactions daily, but not able to simply submit data regarding those positions. They should be submitted daily along with darkpool positions. Transparency needs to become 100% as this will also help keep markets more honest because
More oversight and transparency is needed for short interest, options, and derivative products. It is not acceptable that there is a maximum threshold for short interest set at 140% where in actuality it could be much much higher. It also appears that there is no enforcement of false reporting. There is evidence that Citadel has call option contract out larger than shares existed while retail

Prosecute market manipulators including those that pay main stream media and ensure that this also comes with jail time. Make FTDS are a thing of the past. Ensure that short positions cannot be hidden multiple ways as they are now! Make
It seems to me, and many others from reading comments, that the short sale reporting features are very lacking in up to date data and it seems the delay is used to protect those whom are abusing the system. The OTC non-ATS trading system seems to be another area that is wildly abused by market manipulators and needs to have a complete overhaul, if not completely done away with. It appears that
If you read the Regulatory Notice 12-38 regarding FINRA's Short-Interest Reporting Rule, you'll come across this particularly relevant question in the FAQs. Q7. How should a firm reflect fractional shares in its short-interest reports? A7. If a firm has a fractional short-interest position (e.g., 125.6 shares), it should truncate the position to reflect a whole number when reporting
Have all short sales be reported to finra by end of each settlement day. Make public and report the day to day short sale by end of settlement day or the trading week. Have unused loaned shares reported to finra by end of settlement day. Make public the outstanding unused loaned share by end of settlement day of a trading week. Make all threshold securities regulation reported daily with full
1. Require shares to be acquired before they can be sold. It is ridiculous that today shares are often not even located or are only located before actually being sold. Borrow the shares first, then sell them. 2. Better tracking of borrowed shares. It is ridiculous that shares can be leant out multiple times (often because they are only 'located' and not actually obtained before allowed
