Anonymous-NN Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. While many of the policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective reporting, they also leave significant specific gaps that could compromise the entirety of 21-19's purpose.

What the world saw in the final week of January 2021 was the cartelization of speculators who specialize in selling short stocks and options in the American capital markets. Whether or not this association's formation was premeditated or ad hoc is irrelevant to the events that unfolded and are continuing to unfold in relation to the impending implosion, real or perceived, of the system that allowed this group to operate.

I would like to comment on two particular components of 21-19. -"It is possible that the public dissemination of more granular data could discourage short-selling activity, which is an important mechanism for both efficient pricing and for liquidity provision.

Will Fowler Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

No matter how the details are arranged, the SI must be reported as a true and accurate level of shares sold but not possessed, and on as close to real time as technologically possible. Maintaining an accurate and transparent market, while disadvantageous to those who would manipulate it for their gain, is an absolute necessity for the future of our economy and nation. Everything must be above board for our markets not to lose our remaining credibility and trust.

Thank you FINRA for opening the opportunity to comment on Regulatory Notice 21-19 to all investors. Theoughout Throughout last two years, I, along with many others, have enjoyed expanding my knowledge base of the stock market. The more I've learned about the stock matket, the less faith I have in the system. I can open an app on my smart phone anywhere in the world, send money through my bank, and the other party will recieve the money within 30 minutes. Yet if I make a stock purchase through my broker they have T+2 days to locate the stock.
