As a retail investor with over 15 years experience, I would like to urge FINRA to enact, with all haste, any and all new rules or amendments that make the American market more transparent and fair for all investors.

I am writing as a humble retail investor. Recent events and research have demonstrated that the entire securities market is built around big players taking money directly from retail investors and legitimate corporations who have zero recourse. The current system for reporting short sales is laughably ineffective. It is completely obscured from retail traders, intentionally preventing free trade
