Much more transparency is needed in regards to the number of current short sale positions including percentage that have been closed on a daily basis. For far too long retail investors have been dealt a bad hand going against hedge funds who have access to all the detail we do not. Please make the markets what they are supposed to be which is free and fair. Please enforce and intensify the rules
I am invested in many stocks that I feel have naked shorts in them. I strongly suspect that I even own some in $AMC. I do not feel the market is fair if this is allowed to happen. It gives already very rich entities an extremely unfair advantage in trading. I would feel a lot better about investing more money in the market if I knew that criminals were not just fined, but held accountable in ways
I think all reporting of shares shorts etc should be reported on a daily bases to all with alot more emphasis on stoping manipulation, including making dark pools ilegal and getting rid of them, also making fines more appropriate to the crime instead of pocket money fines, I ve been involved in the US stock market for a year now and all I ve seen is market manipulation which should be against the
I think it’s important to ALL investors that all short shares/failure to deliver shares/ dark pool shares be reported on a honest and legal standing. It’s been pretty clear that this is not happening. The entire stock market needs to be monitored for each settled business day. Please lock out the corruption and deceit from hedge fund companies. They are and solely destroying companies on a daily
Hello, I will keep my comment brief. I am a $XXX,XXX.XX retail investor that humbly supports any and proposed measures to improve transparency and data accuracy for retail investors. While the term “free market” is a farce, I do believe we should have a fair market which currently we do not. Institutional shorting data is horribly unreported given the 2 week delay in reporting in addition to its
To whom it may concern, Do not take away my right to invest in a leverage and inverse funds nor should you restrict us small investors. You do not restrict the large firm to short stock or inverse funds but you go after the little guy so you give the big large firms the edge to win and beat the little guy. We small investors want to invest and have level playing field. If you really want to make
Limiting investors choice to determine the best investments based upon their goals is unwarranted and detrimental Investors who use unique investment strategies (ie options, crypto currencies, shorts, high yield bonds, leveraged ETFs) should not have to incur an additional regulatory burden. There are many complex investments and they have been utilized by investors for decades. The

I am very disappointed how financial regulators are trying to take away power of individual investors to freely invest in public ETFs - leveraged or inversed - which are listed in the public market because they were approved by financial institutions. Yet, the same financial regulators do not place any restrictions on investing "professionals" who short the market or individual
Leveraged and inverse funds are an important of investing for everyday Americans as well as for the privileged. On this May 5th sell off day...a tv talking blamed leveraged funds in part, but the day before had a very large gain and no credit was given to them at all. And if they do cancel these instruments will retail still get blamed for the sell off? Yes...that is what they call us. What we
