The market manipulation we have witnessed for the past 6 months has been a real eye opener for investors in American markets. Implement your new rules as quickly as possible please.

I do not want to see companies fined for breaking rules and laws. For instance, if a company is found to be naked shorting, it should be forced to close all short positions immediately. Failure to do so should result in prison time for senior staff. If I counterfeit a dollar I go to prison. The same should apply if I counterfeit a share.

Funds need to report when they are short. Daily weekly monthly I do not care but it must be reported. If long positions and options need to be reported short positions should too. Beyond that any other positions should be reported. It is crazy what we all the rich elite to get away with. They make the rules and police themselves. So unfair, hence why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
I would like all sides to play by the rules. I think players that go short have the right to do so but should have to disclose their postions just like going long through a 13f or what have you. Every share in existence should be able to be tracked to every person that owns said shares, it is already being done in cyrpto. Overall an emphasis on transparency in the market needs to be better.
