The blatant corruption from the firms that you watch over is appalling. You must do your job, these bad actors cannot be allowed to get away with a 2008 event again. We are watching. 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to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy.

We need better short intrest data. Real time data as it happens no more retail has to wait 2 days to find out what's going on. This puts us at a disadvantage as institutions have real time data as to what retail is doing mainly because of pfof, Bernie Madoff created pfof so that is giant red flag. We need real time data to what institutions are buying and selling if they have ours. Real time short interest is needed asap this is 2021 not 1950s today's technology can do it.

Please ensure Short Interest will be reported daily and will include FTDs

I am losing faith each day the actions by irresponsible parties continue to be ignored. T+2 isn’t concerning until the individual demands it. My broker as with many others are left scrambling looking for my shares in a corrupt market. 21-19 would be a critical step in the right direction. Investors need clarity and clear communication on the short interest side of heavily shorted stocks. I believe this is an integral part of our market and if the end goal is truly and honestly a fair market, do the right thing. Do what everyone claims they do.

FINRA 21-19 is long overdue. Outdated short interest reporting policy has resulted in systemic risk to the integrity of US markets. While many of the policies mentioned in regulatory notice 21-19 generals address exploitable and ineffective reporting, they also have significant loop holes that would defeat the entire purpose of 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to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy.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.

Thank you for taking the time to address these issues. As a retail investor I believe short interest in all of its forms including Call/Put options should be publicly available. Much information is hidden from retail and this needs to change. I hope there is serious consideration for how offenders WILL try to overcome the spirit of these regulations. "Enhanced lending" "short arranging products" why do these exist? Specifically to prevent accurate reporting. This needs to Stop.

FINRA 21-19 is needed to restore the Retail Investor's trust in the market. An equivalence of information is needed to ensure all parties in the market are on equal footing. Transparency of data, in particular, the limited short interest reporting policy, needs to be improved. 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.

Please level the playing field for retail investors and require short positions to be reported daily.

Finra regulations must be updated to be more stringent when it comes to the reporting of short positions. This included positions created synthetically. It would also be important to address the reporting of how the borrowing process occurs and through what entities, to prevent manipulation of stocks via over shorting said stocks.
