To whom it may concern: It is my understanding FINRA is looking for comments on 21-19, regarding short posions. I think it is very clear that the current US market is full of nothing but fraud, with the regulatory agencies being complicit. They are complicit through their complacency, with years of unchecked fraud and market manipulaon through naked short selling by large hedgefunds like Citadel
The current US market is tainted with fraud, with the regulatory agencies being seemingly aware or not doing their function properly. Through complacency - years of unchecked fraud and market manipulation have been allowed to happen with impunity. The counterfeiting practice of naked shorting has happened for many years, with nothing being done to rectify the illegality of the market conditions.
The market is completely unbalanced when it comes to retail trading versus institutional trading. We need more transparency especially when it comes to institutions or hedge funds hiding their positions within the dark pools. They hide these positions and FTD's in the dark pool and through options trading. It is absolutely apparent there is naked shorting going on with certain stocks in the

So for 5 million fake shares at say $25 per share would result in a $125 million fine. This is a fair way,
FINRA should provide daily updates on short interest and failure-to-delivers. If that isn't feasible, then at minimum a T+1 timeframe should be implemented. Rampant naked shorting along with a financial toolbox that favors large institutions goes against what a free market is all about. As a retail Investor, I do not have the same means or access to the types of information that larger
1.) Daily Short interest Reporting 2.) Short interest ownership list of any institution. 3.) $1 Trillion fine for Naked Shorting.
Naked shorting needs to be stopped. Darkpools allow for manipulation of both long and short positions, as well as illegal short positions.
