Make SI private and only for the purpose of enduring that shares held short are not greater than the float. Investors are tired of the memesters manipulating markets trying to force shorts to cover/margin calls.
Transparency is essential to our “free” markets and recently implemented rules & regulations mean NOTHING without enforcement. I am sickened by the lack of accountability of our government officials and how naked short-selling and other egregious behaviors have continued for far too long by Hedge Fund institutions with ZERO considerations “paid” to retail investors.
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
Naked short selling and the black market should be illegal. Every share should have a specific number assigned, tracked and allocated for daily. Each share should only be borrowed for a short position one time, using the specific number assigned. Once the borrower share is returned, only then can it be used again. Short positions should never exceed the actual number of shares that exist for any
I believe a more transparent form and frequency of short position reporting would be very beneficial to the stock market and retail investors specifically based on increased trust in the institution as a whole.
I lost over $100,000. To stock symbol GTEH because of the tremendous amount of short selling mostly by some market maker called CDEL out of Chicago.

Reporting needs to be more than monthly, weekly at latest. It also needs to be changed so that it 100% accurately identifies short interest and delineates between real and synthetic borrowed shares for short interest. Fines should also be such that they accumulate to a point that a rule breaker will not be able to just choose to keep paying the fine and committing the crime.
Short positions should be required to report more regularly and the short interest of a stock should be known rather than estimated every other week.
I am a new retail investor but I have found quickly a strong sentiment of unfair trading practices and market manipulation by hedge funds that leaves retail traders at significant disadvantages. I appreciate the efforts on behalf of FINRA and the SEC to eliminate these events of malpractice by enforcing the rules that are currently in place, as well as, providing the public with more accurate and
Well, where should I start. I haven’t been trading long, approximately two years, but in that short time it’s become completely clear that every rule/restriction set in place benefits hedge funds and short traders. Dark pool is an absolute mind blowing joke. Shorts can just trade large order stocks back and forth, with no transparency, and drive the price downwards at any given time. That’s just
