Thank you for expressing your concern on the matter. It is truly disheartening reading the available information and watch the market entirely disregard such within some securities.

Many individuals observed and confirmed
FINRA, I am just a small retail investor that is quickly losing faith in a fair and transparent marketplace. I would like more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports to begin with. Can you help restore faith in the "retail investor" community by requiring extreme transparency at all levels? We need a fair and unbiased referee, without that, I will
Thank you for your time. I have a few questions. The dark pools were intended for a major seller of own investment to unload a large block of shares without forcing price up or down. It is now a daily assurance that 60-70% trades are in a dark pool vs open market NYSE for small share count trades? Prominently AMC and GME. Most of the rest of the market is 6-9% dark pool. Not going to fix shorts
Do everything in your power to change the world for the better, Reporting (up to date) (short) positions is a start. Thank you
The reporting of "short interest" should be accurate! The everyday, retail investor should have access to ever piece of information the Hedge Funds and Market Makers have. If company is under attack by one of these Hedge Funds, we should be able to obtain real time info we can make educated decisions on where you are putting our money and not get caught holding the back when said
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?

T+0. Instant settlement. No trading outside the lit market. No securing exchange security positions with bonded products; cash, margin, or owned stock only. Selling synthetic shorts depresses the stock price and defrauds the company in favor of market maker profits. Liquidity will come with instant settlement.
Short position disclosure should be required of all market makers, hedge funds, financial institutions, etc. in the interest of a fair, free market. The fact that, even now, these institutional investors haven't been required to report short positions, dark pool trades--or even the fact that a "dark pool" is allowed to exist"--goes against the integrity of the market itself.
Recommend weekly reporting by from financial institutions and made public on stocks shorted and positions held for shorted stocks. Require increase financial penalties in excess of 75% of invested value to errors in reporting shorted positions
