My comment on the rules is to actually enforce them. Honestly, take a look at obvious naked short selling and market manipulation. We the people have lost trust in a "free" market.
SUBJECT LINE: Regulatory Notice 21-19 To Whom it May Concern, In a fair and open market there should be transparency and a level playing field for all investors. Right now, there is a massive deficit in access to information, trade speed, preferential terms and types of trades, and pay-to-play investing that heavily favors institutional investors over retail investors. Additionally, institutional
I am really in the dark about how a lot of the short sale regulations apply but more in AWE at how many of them are not enforced. Market Makers and companies like citadel should have to report ALL of what they do, should be held to a much higher standard and not be able to manipulate the markets through synthetic shares, dark pools and the like. It is basically stealing money from the retail
I deeply concerned with the validity of the entire stock market. Specifically, naked shorting and market manipulation amongst current hedge funds. Please investigate in detail naked shorting and delayed order flows.

Eliminate dark pools Fines should be greater than the profit hedge made from the illegal activity Jail time is needed for market manipulation. Short positions should be forcibly closed out if illegal market manipulation is found and trading rights of those involved should be revoked. Shorting taking place in the dark pool needs to be disclosed to the public. If an institution buys shares in the
It is not right for certain groups of people to launder money around and hide the truth. The prices shown in the stock market are heavily manipulated and it is not fair for the public investors. If an incredibly large population spread out in several countries are supporting and backing a company, it is only right for us to see true prices and continue investing accordingly.
The ability to short a stock legally is fine. The fact that FTD exists should be illegal. You can not fail to deliver what has been purchased. Also any purchase short or long that is below a dollar value of 20 million dollars should by law be required to be done on a public exchange and not in a dark pool. This would make sure illegal or price manipulation activities like high frequency trades
