While these increased reporting requirements around the currently broadly abused short selling practices in the stock market (including naked shorting, mis-reporting longs as shorts, re-hypothecated shares, married puts/calls, and fails to deliver) are a step in the right direction, the proposed changes do not go far enough to provide transparency and fairness to the public. Please consider
Fair Play. I don’t think a hedge fund should be involve in market maker ( conflict of interest) . Privilege to have first hand information. Short positions must be disclosed. Media should be regulated, they are not financial advisor. They can’t tell people what to buy or what to forget. And the most important. Laws and rules must be followed. Institutions must act accordingly , the employees of

Fairness is key. Everything needs to be reported for a fair and equal trading opportunity for everyone.
How do we get transparency and regulations involving synthetic shares or IOU’s. I understand the necessity to make trading instant, but these shares should be required to be covered in a day or two. Shorting shares infinitely that aren’t owned, borrowing borrowed shares, and synthetics are a major issue. We need transparency and legal consequences for fraud and manipulation.
