I am a fairly new retail investor who got into the market with an interest at the time I saw as positive and opportunistic. After experiencing, first hand, how the market actually works and facilitates abusive naked short selling - that interest has turned into cynicism. What I would like to see, personally, is FINRA to enforce existing rules in a manner that actually seeks to stop market abuse.
Short positions should be reported daily. Any attempts by institutional investors to drive stock prices up/down (smear campaigns, fake DD, Spam/Ads) should result in fines that actually impact the guilty parties, not just a tiny percent of the profit from the illicit activities. There needs to be actual penalties for breaking the rules, or the so-called "free market" will ever truly
All shares should have a serial number. Block chain technology should be employed to track the movement of these shares. This would prevent any naked shorts both intentional, and unintentional.
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.

In a fair and open market there should be transparency and a level playing field for all investors; be they retail or institutional. The # of shares shorted should be available IN REAL TIME throughout the trading day. Dark pool trading must be eliminated. We can clearly see that large institutions are buying massive quantities of AMC/GME stock (for example) on the dark pool and then flooding the
FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change and it has my full support. It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. Numerous short hedge funds and other entities abuse this regulatory gap to hide what is very
