To whom it may concern, Yes, I believe daily or even weekly reporting of short interest positions would be a step in the right direction providing retail investors confidence that the markets can indeed work for them also. I think it would be extremely useful if entities were required to report synthetic short positions if only to make market makers more honest and not let them overleverage thus cause serious destabilization in the markets.

Dear FINRA Committee members, It is this commenter's genuine hope that short selling is banned as it serves counter-purpose to the two primary functions of the Stock Market, Capital Allotment, and Price Discovery. As such an act would likely remove the need for FINRA, and it is unjust to request this forum to consider self-destruction. Instead, this comment hopes to serve as a basic appeal for the fair, accurate, and timely reporting of Short sales, cumulate short positions, individual ticker short interest, and options-implied float.

FINRA reporting should fully cover all positions held in publicly traded companies. The reporting period should follow the standard settlement period. All reporting should be made available to the public within 2 hours of market close on a daily basis. All positions, including short positions should be required to be included without exception. Failure to accurately disclose a short position in the allocated reporting period should result in an immediate penalty.

We need much stronger regulation, this could be a step in the right direction. Here are some suggestions for that regulation: - Make the time to deliver a share to its buyer legally 3 days. That's right, 3, give them a bit of leeway. - Remove all the extra extensions. Instead, we allow them to roll for another 3 days. They _must_ do this indefinitely, until they locate and deliver the stock.

To whom it may concern, As a retail investor, I believe transparency is vital to a fair and efficient market. I think it is unlawful for a company to be shorted more than 140% of its float. In no other industry can you sell 140% of a product legally. It is important that this is taken seriously as the integrity of the market is at stake.

Enhanced reporting on short sales in a timely manner is long overdue. These new rules can and will create a healthier market, far from perfect, but better than yesterday.

Short interest needs to be reported everyday, just like volume and institutional holdings this is vital information to prevent over shorting a stock or non compliant behavior that limits price discovery and normal market dynamics.

To whom it may concern: 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. Report total shares outstanding and the public float. 7. Daily reporting timeframe. 8.

The events leading out of Jan 2021 and continuing into this year should make it abundantly clear that leaving any positions unreported or obfuscated results in a lack of faith in the fairness of US markets. That paired with a speculative bubble puts all investors at risk. I request that FINRA pushes for more reporting of short positions.

No more FTD. T-0 settlement, show real short interest in live, no more dark pool, if there should be a fine then fine them multi-trillion of dollars of jail time.
