This is without merit and I dont need the government telling me what I can and cannot invest within. Im an adult who has been investing and or trading for over 25 years.

The market is completely unbalanced when it comes to retail trading versus institutional trading. We need more transparency especially when it comes to institutions or hedge funds hiding their positions within the dark pools. They hide these positions and FTD's in the dark pool and through options trading. It is absolutely apparent there is naked shorting going on with certain stocks in the
Short interest should not be self reported. Needs to be transparent and reported daily. FTD's should cause HEAVY fines. I mean, HEAVY. Maybe 50% of annual profit of a company. Naked shorts need to be investigated, openly disclosed to the public and result in heavy monetary penalties, as well as temporary ban from trading a particular security (maybe 30 or 90 days ban). High frequency trading
On January 31, 2022, FINRA introduced the Participant Data Management System (“PDM”) which firms now use to manage access to the FINRA trade reporting facilities, including TRACE, ORF and ADF.
