As a concerned investor and with regard for the overriding desire for free, fair and open markets, I return the following comments. 1. Consolidation of short interest data publication, centralized on the FINRA website should be made public. 2. Require firms to segregate short interest held in proprietary accounts vs that held in customer accounts. 3. Report to FINRA account-level short interest (not for publication). 4. Report synthetic short positions in both options and security based swaps. 5. Report loan obligations from arranged financing to better reflect actual short sentiment. 6.

As I see it, the current US market is full of nothing but fraud and blatant manipulation, with regulatory agencies doing nothing to police it to the point of them being complicit in these actions as well. They are complicit through their complacency, with years of unchecked fraud and market manipulation in several ways. Naked short selling by large hedge funds like Citadel, point72 and Melvin Capital Management (and others) is being allowed to happen with impunity.

I strongly support any rule change that brings greater transparency to our financial markets. Daily reporting requirements will surely help retail investors better understand what these large financial players are doing to our markets.

Any ruling on having a higher degree of accuracy finding illegal activity is an important step for ensuring the U.S market maintains faith on the world market, with the added benefit of doing the right thing.
