The markets are being grossly affected by positions that we the retail investors have no knowledge of yet we trade in the same market. We need more fairness and transparency and the concerns from short sellers are just attempts to hide their motives. We should see the same requirements on short reporting as long positions, as in similar to 13f fillings. It should also include short positions in derivatives and ETFs as those are other ways firms can skirt the rules like archegos, and look at the drastic consequences that had. Lastly, if like to see a percent hedge value for these positions 


Another way to skirt the rules is the bonafide market maker exemption. We need this to end. making shares out of thin air just because you're a market maker for the sake of liquidity is fraud.
