FINRA 21-19 is long overdue. The US markets are not trusted given the massive class of billionaires that make the markets and conduct back-end deals to manipulate the markets along with hedgefunds. Given these players have ultimate transparency on retail investors using payment for order flow (PFOF), it's only fair that retail investors can see the daily (or per transaction) movements of these players. Transparency is key to an efficient market.

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to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy.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.

The traction this GME/AMC saga has gained will continue. It is in the best interest of FINRA to increase accountability for short interest, if a few market makers have to power to shift stock prices then where has the free market gone? Cellar Boxing is a form of manipulation hedge funds can use to bankrupt and profit (without taxes) what may become great companies. Please require reporting of any and all short positions in AT LEAST a 24 hour time frame. If this is allowed to continue, America will drown in its own greed.

I would like to see accurate daily reporting of short interest of stocks including how many synthetic shares have been produced to short a stock. I would like all methods of "can kicking" FTDs through options chains eliminated. Short hedge funds should only be allowed to short a stock by actually borrowing real shares of stock for a specified period of time and must return those shares at a predetermined date. Too many loop holes exist for smoke and mirror tactics to be used to hid short positions seemingly indefinitely.

Please note my comments as below: Rule 1. All short sale shall be reported to finra by end of each settlement day. Rule 2. Finra shall make public report the day to day short sale by end of settlement day or the trading week. Rule 3. All unused loaned shares shall be reported to finra by end of settlement day. Rule 4. Finra shall make public the outstanding unused loaned share by end of settlement day of a trading week. Rule 5. All threshold securities sho regulation shall be reported daily with full accounting of fail to deliver end by end of settlement day. Rule 6.

All information regarding what is happening on the stock exchange should be made public, otherwise the „game” is not fair. Short positions should be reporter and tracked daily. The lack of transparency only creates opportunities for Big players. A great example was set by regulators in South Korea who recently made the fines surrounding synthetic/naked shorting/FTDs to appropriately (!) reflect the profits that are made from such activity

Keep it up, implement, even add more/stricter. Our finical system needs more transparency or (i fear) it wont survive the coming decade as the populous become increasingly aware of all the loopholes the 0.01%, funds, and corporations thrive on.
