FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue; the US has systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated SI reporting policy. While many of the policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address exploitable and ineffective reporting, they also leave gaps/loopholes that could compromise its purpose.

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to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy.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

If it’s one thing that Melvin capital, citadel, point 72, Susquehanna and Virtu have taught me, in conjunction with the ongoing short selling sagas of certain meme stocks, is that if something isn’t done quickly an entire generation of investors will abandon the US stock market. We are very clearly an oligarchy, which is not only an insult to our founding fathers, but a travesty enacted upon those who have sacrificed themselves for the preservation of this nation.

It is in the interest of anyone investing in the market, as well as for those with retirement accounts for there to be an improvement in the reporting of short interest, and of its sources. At this time it is common for stock prices to be determined not by the foundational performance of the company that it represents, but rather by whether hedge funds or other investment vehicles have decided to manipulate the price up or down.

It is critical for the restoration of both the stability of the US markets and the confidence of the investors within it that any and all regulation changes regarding short interest reporting be effective in every known circumstance where effective short positions, synthetic or not, can go unaccounted for for any length of time greater than any other short position reporting deadline. FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change.

Short interest reporting? What happened!!?!?!? Integrity is the virtue... Honest, accurate, and punctual short sale reporting is the action. We love you guys. Do the next right thing.

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.
