Gamestop and many other stocks have been and continue to be a target to illegal naked short selling that needs to stop, protect the retail investors and companies from crooks and cheats that use illegal practices to stay rich and keep the poor broke as well as drive companies that do good in the world into the ground. Get rid of PFOF, insider trading, politicians having any part of trading, dark
I wholeheartedly agree with the proposed short interest reporting changes in this notice and continued heightened supervision of short interest reporting. I’m a believer that synthetic volume defiantly counters a fair and free market. Retail traders have continuously been walked over by the “system” since the stock markets inception. As a fellow regulator, I know first hand the importance of “
FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. A free and fair market is a strength of the US and it is obvious the integrity of those markets has been strained this last year. Part of that is due to FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy.

The cat's out of the bag; retail investors now see and know that hedge funds and big business, in general, are taking advantage of the general public. Excessive and indefinite short-selling to drive stock prices down (and some companies out of business), as well as trading away from major exchanges that retail investors cannot interact with is destroying our faith in the system.

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
