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 stock (for example) on the dark pool and then flooding the
Please update the rules to more accurately report short interest and punish violators of misrepresented position. Clearly this should NOT be done through self-reporting (or at least without regular audits), as the institution have too much to gain by not reporting their positions. If an institution trader is allowed to directly attack a company and negatively effect the price through shorting,
I fully support this effort to improve short interest enhancements.

Unfortunately, today it is a tool with nefarious intention with no regard for the impact it might have have on an otherwise good company, it's entire employee base and downstream jobs it involves itself in. As one who has managed portfolios and also invests privately it has never been
Is anything going on with regards to investigating ‘meme’ stocks AMC and GME? There is so much fraudulent manipulation of the stock prices I. A daily basis. I’ve seen this for months. I’m no expert but have educated myself to being able to read a stock chart and basic corresponding numbers. Daily - —ladder attacks - buy/sell of millions of shares, or continuous sell orders that are canceled
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) a proposed rule change to adopt on a permanent basis the pilot program for Market-Wide Circuit Breakers in FINRA Rule 6121.02 (Market-wide Circuit Breakers in NMS Stocks).
I would like to point out two proposals that I absolutely think must be accepted. The others are still very good to increase accountability and reestablish some semblance of trust. "Synthetic Short Positions: In addition, FINRA is considering requiring firms to reflect synthetic short positions in short interest reports. For example, enhanced short interest reporting could include synthetic
