The current policy and way of doing things is fine enough in my opinion, so a change would do little to benefit the current system. There seems to be very few reasons for such a drastic change, and I think it would be in the publics best interest to reject and decline such an advancement.
Synthetic shares need to be penalized and/ or outlawed. Additionally, dark pool trading needs to be stopped. Brokerages that constantly short stocks should be required to reconcile at market value no later than 15 days following the first FTD prior to being allowed to trade openly on that stock.
I am a small investors who does all research about investments I want to make. Crypto type investments are of interest to me and I want to decide whether to make these types of investments. I do NOT believe there is a need for restrictions - I can do my own research.
Individuals should maintain the right to choose the investments that they wish to pursue. Imposing regulations stymies innovation, entrepreneurship and wealth creation. Interest in Crypto is going to increase, and presents an opportunity for investors to increase their personal and retirement wealth. The more options available to investors, the better.
To whom it may concern, As a retail investor, I believe transparency is vital to a fair and efficient market. I think it is unlawful for a company to be shorted more than 140% of its float. In no other industry can you sell 140% of a product legally. It is important that this is taken seriously as the integrity of the market is at stake.
The new Complex Investigations and Intelligence (CII) team and Cyber and Analytics Unit (CAU) are driving a shift in terms of how Member Supervision’s National Cause and Financial Crimes Detection Program comes at its work and leverages intelligence and analytics to drive decision making and operations.

The position date
All short positions need to be reported hourly. Positions need to be report on open and close. Substantial fines, up to the cost of the underlying need to be levied against those improperly filing or not filing at all. This data should be available in full no later than end of business day.
I think the SI data should be reported daily to FINRA. FTD recover period should be reduced to T+2 and if not obeyed a 500% of the position should be fined to the accountable. Naked shorts should be reduced to a minimum, and ALL data should be accessible to the public, at the end of every market day.
Transparency in the market and frequent monitoring of naked shorting. Start enforcing the rules we already have and the fines need to be steep enough to incentivize the Hedge Funds and other large investors to stop with the illegal activity. The fines need to be in the millions to get the point across.thank you Sumita
