Hi FINRA, what were seeing in the stock market is unprecedented. 71 percent dark pool volume for AMC from the same people that have a short interest. This is unacceptable in any “free and fair market”. Short selling is a cancer on the back of the US financial system and has adverse effects on the rest of the world. We need more transparency from the “too big to fail” players in the market and
Dark Pools are called that because they remove the transparency of the trade. This is an open market so there shouldn’t market activity that’s suddenly invisible to the rest of market traders. There should be full transparency about shares being bought and sold at market prices. For shares that are shorted and subsequently misreported the financial fines should be proportionate to the real value
The ability to short a stock legally is fine. The fact that FTD exists should be illegal. You can not fail to deliver what has been purchased. Also any purchase short or long that is below a dollar value of 20 million dollars should by law be required to be done on a public exchange and not in a dark pool. This would make sure illegal or price manipulation activities like high frequency trades
Short sale, short interest, fails to deliver, hedge funds using the same collateral for different margin accounts and loans, and all dark pools information should be made available to the public as daily reports as LIVE FEEDS. Data Science algorithms can reveal how these market manipulators are stealing money from retail investors. Data and information should be available as LIVE FEEDS just like
To whom it may concern: Please take the time to investigate the amount of shorting taking place during the merger of (MMAT) Meta materials and (TRCH) Torchlight energy resources. Please investigate the specific dates of June 22nd, 2021 to July 12th, 2021. The amount of shorting and sell walls observed are highly suspect to hedge fund manipulations. Thousands of people have lost a lot of money
Better reporting on short interest, including synthetic positions hidden in the options chain Full transperancy of the Dark Pool markets - why does more than half the daily volume come from darkpool?? where are those shares? Vastly steeper fines/prison sentences for being misleading regarding short posistions. Your punnishments in the past have merely rewarded the bad actors, they scam us for
I would like to see the stock markets overhauled with a crypto blockchain style solution. Every share can then be tracked and identified with a unique token per coin. This could be created with specific user definable fields such as "shortable" where a user can specify whether or not his/her shares can be shorted. This could also enable a field to increment each time a share is shorted
I would like to see automatic reporting of shorts and short interest and not self-reporting. I have a three year old and if I'd ask her to self-report when she does something wrong life would be peachy. The brokers, market makers and multitude of firms, funds, offices and other institutions have shown that they are unreliable or downright fraudulent when it comes to reporting. They should

The FINRA 21-19 filing is a long overdue step in the right direction. However, given the current rules set in place, which allows prime brokerages to give their clients, hedge funds, an ability to essentially circumvent any short position reporting through what they call 'short arranging products' or 'arranged financing programs', the regulations proposed in FINRA 21-19 will
