I am a retail investor and have been for close to 12 years now. In my opinion, short sellers should be transparent in their dealings and if I had the ability, I would close dark pool opportunities for institutions since it seems to be a way to manipulate the market data overall.

Dear regulators,
I believe, the US is a free country and it should be my choice of what I want to invest into and what not, not you. I originally came from a communist country where the government and regulators controlled and regulated every citizens' life. You are starting to remind me of those days.
