I think for a fair and free market it is important that all short positions are reported, why does one side need to be reported but not the other. Let's make it a fair table.

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to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy.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

We desperately need more reporting, and ACCOUNTABILITY in our financial system. The public is losing all confidence in our financial system and are going to stop participating in a system that's rigged.

To Whom It May Concern, I find it astoundingly deplorable that FINRA, a regulatory body that should be enforcing fair markets for both institutions and retail investors were in collusion in January to disable the buy button and engage in market malpractice to protect the very same institutions that have restricted the average retail investor to participate in a “free” and “transparent” market.

I believe after reviewing the current rules, and revision suggestions made, that it is INCREDIBLY important that FINRA immediately implement the changes as suggested AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. It is apparent that the system of reporting is severely outdated and antiquated relative to the available technology and communication speeds of today. It has become quite clear that the nature of this antiquated reporting system, and its inefficiencies, have put a strain on the integrity of the United States market as a whole.

The proposed amendment to FINRA 4560 is a laughable attempt at improving naked short selling internal control measures, actual regulatory action, or really any kind of further obligation on the part of the involved broker-dealers. There have been hundreds if not thousands of regulatory "actions" taken by FINRA related to short sale, and misreporting/misclassification of shorts. This filing appears to broaden the scope of required disclosures. period. end of filing. This does nothing to protect investors in a information landscape rife with inaccurate and unreliable information.

As a small retail investor investing for me and my families future I’m glad to hear that sunlight is finally leaking into the shorting faculties of our market. Accurate and honest short interest reporting helps reassure me as an individual investor that larger institutions aren’t abusing gaps in reporting to get an unfair advantage and add instability and volatility to our markets.

FINRA 21-19 is a much-needed update. The integrity of the US market has clearly been stressed to the point of disaster, owing in large part to systemic risk established under the regulatory authority of FINRA's antiquated short interest reporting regulation.
