1/ Synthetic short positions should be included in short interest reports. 2/ REGSHO- information of allocations of FTD's should definately be updated. daily report of FTD's should be mandatory.3/Publication of short interest for Exchange listed Equity securities to include both OTC & Exchange should also be implemented. 4/ Rule 4560-Loan obligations regarding short position closures. Please change this to include the shares borrowed through an arranged finance deal.

I fully support this proposed rule change and additional rule regarding short position reporting. Additional rules to protect investors, especially retail investors, should be explored on this topic as well as other issues such as order flow prioritization, block share lending, and ability to dictate exchanges for orders to be sent to. How is it possible for >50% of the daily trading volume to be done on private exchanges with no price reporting? How can these exchanges limit who is eligible to participate on them?

Finra should absolutely be stricter on the frequency and the details reported on shorts and short interest. No company should be getting shorted any more than 75%

I would like to suggest taking power out of your own hands as self regulators. SROs are inherently corrupt and there is no way around apply a significant punishment to you pursuing your personal interests if it also you to police yourselves. Seems to me as thought Pharmaceutical industries are not the FDA, and you are supposed to be the ones protecting yourselves from stealing the money you are put in charge of. This ends.

The SEC and the government is supposed to oversee and check the hedgefund's activities and make sure that there no crimes such as naked shorting or dark pools going on.

This is is the 21 century I see no reason short interest can not be reported daily. I also see no reason it should not be. This would be one step towards making the market a more fair and safe place to trade. I would expect this in the basic opinion of the majority of all the comments you have. I would be interested in who and why anyone would be against this.

1. Enforcement should be as immediate as possible. 2. Transparency : Give detailed numbers, company names and extended information on your investigation. 3. Bigger fines. Let's be real. The fines you're giving are symbolic. What's even the point exactly? 4. Kinda unrelated but maybe the best way to enforce those ruled is for finra to cease to exist? And be replaced by a public entity financed by the people for the people.
