First of all, stop pretending like Finra doesn't know how corrupt and rigged the Stock Market is especially given the fact that Finra facilitates and encourages such behavior at the expense of the retail investor. Yes, Finra facilitates and encourages such behavior contrary to the statements made on their "About" page which I will provide some examples as proof. 1) Fail-to-deliver
We demand transparency with investment firms and funds surrounding the various fees that'll be charge. We need price transparency which is all information regarding a stock's price (such as its bid prices, ask prices, and trading quantities) is available to retail traders. We also Need the T-2 settlement to be reduced to under 1 day. Please give us a fighting chance in the market. ITS
I don’t want to see fines for illegal practices. I want to see prosecutions and jail time. Take naked shorting. Companies found to be manipulating stocks and printing shares should be forced to cover all short positions immediately. Failure to do so should result in prison time. If I, as a citizen, counterfeit a dollar, I go to prison. If I counterfeit a share I should receive the same punishment
I would like to see all illegally produced shares be made to cover immediately. Also, the dark pool platforms must be removed from the market. Thank you
I do not want to see companies fined for breaking rules and laws. For instance, if a company is found to be naked shorting, it should be forced to close all short positions immediately. Failure to do so should result in prison time for senior staff. If I counterfeit a dollar I go to prison. The same should apply if I counterfeit a share.

Albin SWE In a free and fair market there should be absolute transparency. The number of shares shorted should be available in real time during trading hours. No more dark pool trading.

Naked shorts and FTDs should
Short interest should be live data. There is no excuse in this day and age for up to date information available at the touch of a button. The fact we have to wait 2 weeks for this and the information is already 2 weeks out of date just screams that there are underhanded things afoot.

THE STATE OF SHORT SELLING AND MANIPULATION IN THIS CURRENT MARKET IS ABSOLUTELY ABNORMAL. A LOT OF SHADY [REDACTED] GOING ON. WE NEED MORE TRANSPARENCY AND ALSO CONSEQUENCES TO PEOPLE ABUSING THEIR POWER. WHENEVER THE RETAIL INVESTORS GATHER TOGETHER AND TRY TO DO SOMETHING FOR OURSELVES AND FAMILY, WE ARE TO BLAME WHICH IS OVERLOOKING THE AMOUNT OF MANIPULATION THESE HEDGEFUNDS ARE DOING. WHEN
We need more transparency in the market. Shorts need to reveal their shorts position, the FTD (failure to deliver) and naked shorts are making the market a place where it feel the system is ridge in favor of the 1% and against the retail investor.
Dear FINRA, as a European citizen and not professionally or directly involved in the US market if not as a retail investor, I don't know how qualified or entitled I am to write to you, but seeing that you make an effort to hear our opinion, and since we can only appreciate this action hoping in constructive and effective changes in the future of the world market, here it goes: I am aware
