I am in favor of a fair and more transparent stock market and feel very strongly that this ruling going into effect could make for a more fair and honest market. It could put a stop to predatory short selling with synthetic shares that are known to exist. Our government is missing out on tax revenue as a result of all the apparent corruption by the hedge funds and market maker. Stocks should ideally trade based on supply and demand and should not be subject to illegal manipulation of stock prices with no regard to companies that they are hurting financially. It has been very apparent with AMC and GME and HYMC as well as others that they have a private agenda to make themselves filthy rich while financially hurting businesses, retail investors, and our very own government by decreased tax revenue. Please pass the ruling for transparency for disclosure of short sell positions by the large institutions and hedge fund and anything else that would contribute to an honest and fair market. In all fairness PLEASE level the playing field. Abusive synthetic shorting to the extreme and retail orders being routed to the dark pool must STOP immediately.
Thank you for your time and for trying to stop the corruption in our markets which we all know exist.
