What I have witnessed over the past year or so that is going on with stock $GME and $AMC is on a whole different scale. I was new to trading until I got involved signing up with RobinHood earlier in 2020.

Do your job. There is zero transparency in the market. Current rules and regulations either aren't being enforced, or are too difficult to enforce due to secretive trading. Naked shorts are still happening, end dark pools, start looking out for the retail investor.

Any data that is communicated publicly should be communicated in the most efficient manner possible. In a industry where data is considered to be so valuable that firms were willing to spend millions of dollars to have their fiber optic cable runs as close as physically possible to the exchanges so they could get a timing advantage, the short interest report being collected only a twice a month
The USA Free markets should not be limited in any ticker what so ever. The total purpose of the market is that it is free to be traded by any person that follows ALL the laws. This includes ETFs or any commodity. Regulating tickers would be unfair for the regular investors and giving more power to the Banks and market maker.
These are the situations that create more imbalance to the market.
