I’d love to see more more transparency. I’d love to be able to trust the data that I see when researching stocks. I’d love to trust that the markets are fair. I can’t do that right now due to how the current system is setup. The US markets are completely fake. The changes suggested may improve things.
I strongly support stricter reporting requirements on short positions held by market makers and prime brokerages. It is increasingly necessary that FTD information be presented to the public as a way of not only limiting abuse of the FTD system, but also to reveal obfuscated information that is not readily available to the market and is often times concealed or miscategorized in reporting.

What's the point of adding additional suitability rules when the agency
When it’s more profitable to break the law there will never be the change that is needed in the markets. Making 100 million dollars illegally and it only costs 25 million in fines equals a profitable business model. Why would they EVER follow rules??? The system is broken, rigged and allows outright theft, fraud and manipulation.
